About us
OpenClaw Silicon Valley 🦞🌊
Welcome to the only OpenClaw meetup in the heart of Silicon Valley. If you're building with OpenClaw, MoltBot, or ClawdBot and tired of debugging alone at 2 AM, you've found your people. 🐚
Who this is for:
- Anyone curious about how OpenClaw (automation, agentic workflows, AI tools, integrations) can make their lives better 🦀
- Hands-on practitioners who want to share what's actually working vs. what sounds good on paper
- People comfortable showing non-working configs and admitting "I have no idea why this works now" 🐠
- Folks who celebrate fixing, as much as shipping a feature
What we do:
- Share mistakes, learnings, and "I spent 6 hours on this" war stories 🌊
- Demo projects (polished or chaotic—we don't judge) 🦑
- Connect with others to discover new use cases and push OpenClaw's limits
- Compare skills, MCPs, and workflows that actually work 🐙
- Colaborate with other builders in the Bay Area who get it 🦐
What we're NOT:
- Theoretical talk or generic AI hype. We focus on practical, local-first execution regardless of your technical starting point
- Sales pitches or "let me tell you about my startup" 🚫
- Formal presentations with 47 slides
What we ARE:
- Casual meetups at coffee shops (for now) ☕
- Practitioners showing their real work 💻
- A community that values learning through failure 🪸
- A safe space to share your ideas. 🌴
Whether you're automating your entire workflow, building tools for clients, or just obsessed with making AI agents do weird things, bring a curious mind, your questions, and a specific problem you want to automate. All skill levels welcome. 🏄♂️
Our vibe: Think "coffee shop ideas exchange" not "tech conference." We start small and grow organically. No gatekeeping, just builders helping builders. 🐟
Let's break things together. 🦞💻🌊

What to expect:- Quick intros (30 min): Who are you? What are you building? What's your OpenClaw "holy grail" use case?
- War stories circle (45 min): Everyone shares ONE mistake or learning from their OpenClaw journey. The messier, the better—we celebrate bugs here!
- Open discussion (30 min): Common pain points, favorite skills/MCPs, what's actually working vs. hype

Bring:
- Your laptop (optional but encouraged)
- Questions, bugs, and half-baked ideas
- Stories of automation wins and spectacular failures ☕
Format: Ultra-casual. Think "coffee shop coding session" not "formal tech talk." We'll grab tables, order drinks, and dive in. No slides, no agenda police, just enthusiasts talking shop.
Perfect for: Anyone who's wondering about what AI can DO for their use case, been deep in OpenClaw for days/weeks and craving real conversations with locals who get it. Whether you're crushing it or struggling, you'll find your people here.
Not sure if you belong? If you've ever Googled "OpenClaw best practices" at 2 AM, you're our people. 🦐
