Name: OpenClaw, Cowork, and Autonomous AI Assistants
Start: 2026-04-18T03:00:00.000Z
Location: Ellen Melville Centre

**In this session we'll dive deep into the world of autonomous AI assistants — what they are, how they work, and how to actually use them.**

We'll explore Claude Cowork, OpenClaw, NemoClaw, and other emerging tools, covering setup, real-world use cases, and the security considerations you need to be thinking about.

We'll walk through live demos end to end — from initial setup to working workflows — showing what these tools can actually do when configured properly. The main presentation will be shown on a central screen so everyone can follow along, but feel free to follow along on your own laptop if you like.

Whether you're just getting started with AI assistants or looking to level up a workflow that's already working — this session is for you.
