AI That Acts: Building Your First Agent with OpenClaw
Details
Tired of just chatting with AI?
In this hands-on meetup, we will build an AI agent that can actually perform tasks for you — locally on your computer.
Most AI tools today only generate text. But modern AI agents can interact with apps, automate workflows, and execute real actions.
In this session we will explore how to create your first AI agent using OpenClaw.
What you will learn
• What AI agents are and how they differ from chatbots
• How AI agents can automate daily workflows
• Installing and running OpenClaw locally
• Connecting an AI agent with tools and tasks
• Running your first working AI automation
Example Use Cases
By the end of the session you will see how AI agents can:
• Read messages and trigger actions
• Organize tasks and reminders
• Automate repetitive workflows
• Work locally without sending data to cloud services
