OpenClaw 101: A Workshop about Virtual AI Assistants

OpenClaw 101: Getting Started Workshop

Hosted on the 1st Floor at Station Austin (Formerly Capital Factory) on the 1st floor in the Apollo Room.

Join us for a hands-on workshop introducing OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework formerly known as ClawdBot / MoltBot. Whether you've been curious about building your own AI agents or want to understand what's possible with autonomous systems, this is your starting point.

What to Expect

This focused, beginner-friendly session will walk you through:

• Setting up OpenClaw from scratch remotely (Digital Ocean Driplet)
• Understanding the core architecture and how agents work
• Configuring your first basic agent
• Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
• Q&A with experienced OpenClaw builders

Who Should Attend

• Developers curious about AI agents
• Hobbyists wanting to experiment with autonomous systems
• Anyone interested in understanding how tools like OpenClaw work under the hood

No prior AI experience required—just bring a laptop and a willingness to learn.

Format

This is a scoped, practical workshop. We'll keep it focused and hands-on, with plenty of time for questions and troubleshooting. You'll leave with a working OpenClaw (Formerly ClawdBot/MoltBot) setup and the knowledge to start experimenting on your own.
