OpenClaw sta entrando nella sua fase di breakout nel 2026. Cloni ovunque, ecosistema in accelerazione, player come NVIDIA e Tencent già dentro. Con questo primo meetup a Milano, portiamo tutto questo fuori dal rumore e dentro qualcosa di concreto: un evento hands-on per builder, founder, developer e curiosi che vogliono capire e soprattutto costruire. L’obiettivo è semplice: capire perché OpenClaw sta crescendo così velocemente e cosa puoi iniziare a buildare già oggi. Niente teoria fine a sé stessa. Setup reali, demo live, casi concreti. Durante la serata: * esplorerai il “Claw World” e i suoi use case reali * vedrai da zero come installare e configurare un AI agent * capirai come portarlo dentro canali reali come WhatsApp o Telegram * analizzerai cosa rende questi agent diversi dai chatbot tradizionali OpenClaw è uno dei progetti open-source più veloci di sempre: 300k+ stelle GitHub, release continue, centinaia di contributor. Il punto chiave: agenti AI self-hosted, sempre attivi, integrati nei canali che già usi, con pieno controllo su dati e comportamento. Se stai già sperimentando, acceleri. Se parti da zero, esci con qualcosa che gira. **Speaker:** Luca Bianchi Alfredo Morresi **Link Telegram** [https://t.me/codingbunker](https://t.me/codingbunker) ​​ **Programma:** 18:30 - Accredito 📝 19:00 - Breve presentazione della community Coding Bunker 💜 19:15 - The Age of the Claws starts in 2026 🎤 19:50 - Break ☕ 20:10 - OpenClaw: Personal AI Agents at Your Fingertips 🎤 20:50 - Q&A ❓ 21:00 - Networking 🌍 **Nota legale:** Partecipando all’evento, l’utente autorizza gli organizzatori a effettuare riprese fotografiche e video e a utilizzare il materiale raccolto per finalità di comunicazione, promozione e documentazione delle attività legate a Coding Bunker e alla community.

**OpenClaw Meetup #1: Claws land in Milano** OpenClaw is entering its breakout phase in 2026, with many clones landing in our everyday lives, and the builder ecosystem around it is accelerating fast, with NVIDIA and Tencent recently entering the game. We’re launching the very first OpenClaw community meetup in Milan, an informal, hands-on gathering designed for builders, founders, creatives, and curious minds who want to explore, experiment, and build. The goal is simple: understand why OpenClaw is gaining momentum and what you can start building with it today. Whether you’re already experimenting or just getting started, this session is practical, beginner-friendly, and community-driven. **🔥 Agenda** **6:30–7:00 PM — Welcome & Networking** Arrivals, opening, and meeting fellow builders. **7:00–7:30 PM — The Age of the Claws starts in 2026** ***Speaker: Luca Bianchi*** NVidia just announced NemoClaw, as their enterprise-ready OpenClaw version. But what is all the fuss about this "claw"? OpenClaw has emerged as one of the fastest-growing open-source projects in the AI agent space, with over 300k GitHub stars and multiple releases per week. Its core proposition, a self-hosted, always-on personal AI assistant accessible through the messaging channels you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Teams, Signal, and many others) is resonating with developers and teams who want full control over their data, models, and agent's behavior. The session brings you upp to speed into the so-called "Claw World", presenting OpenClaw and its clones. The session includes a live demo of installation and configuration within a secure sandbox environment, walking through the full setup from zero to a working deployment. **7:30–8:15 PM — OpenClaw: Personal AI Agents at Your Fingertips on WhatsApp** ***Speaker: Alfredo Morresi*** What happens when you give an LLM a well-defined personality, a 24/7 proactive mandate, access to a multitude of digital platforms, specific tasks, a WhatsApp or Telegram account, and the ability to improve by learning from daily interactions? That's the premise behind OpenClaw — an open-source project that in less than two months went from zero to the most popular project on GitHub, rallied hundreds of contributors, and is reshaping how we interact with AI on a daily, personal level. In this talk, we'll explore the architecture and ideas behind OpenClaw, what makes personal AI agents different from traditional chatbots, and why this space is moving so fast. Fair warning: the rabbit hole goes deep. **8:20–9:00 PM — Networking and Happy Hour** Pizza and catering is offered by our sponsor Denied.dev, the Runtime Authorization Engine for AI Agents. It empower builders to define, enforce, and monitor real-time security boundaries, ensuring autonomous software operates safely in production. **💡 Why join?** * Understand why OpenClaw is accelerating in 2026 * See real-world use cases in action * Get hands-on experience in a supportive environment * Connect with Milan’s emerging OpenClaw community * Find inspiration for your next project This is the first OpenClaw meetup in Milan, and we’re building it together. Spots are limited to keep the experience interactive. Bring your laptop. Bring your curiosity. 🦞🔥

Talk about the Music! Today’s Theme is ”Music Production" Parliamo sulla musica seguendo il tema d’oggi. Il 2° tema è Music Production la quale ci ha reso possibile collaborare anche da remoto grazie al suo carattere la musica è diventata per noi molto vicina. (Personalmente uso Logic Pro X e usavo anche Digital Performer in passato potremo discutere anche le cose tecniche se volete). A chi ci ha comunicato la presenza chiedo di entrare dal link al sotto Argomento: Talk about the Music!-Music Production Ora: 19 apr 2026 06:00 PM Roma https://us04web.zoom.us/j/71719854044?pwd=Z61bZ1yboGHFrmtVYytInDuB35PvwI.1 ID riunione: 717 1985 4044 Codice d’accesso: 9JvqUk Grazie. Attendo numerose partecipazioni.

**Se ora il codice lo scrive una AI… io cosa ci sto a fare?** Negli ultimi mesi abbiamo visto l’intelligenza artificiale passare da semplice “assistente” a qualcosa che è in grado di scrivere codice, proporre soluzioni e persino prendere decisioni. **Ma quindi… siamo diventati inutili?** In questo talk cercheremo di rispondere proprio a questa domanda, andando oltre hype e paure, per capire cosa sta realmente cambiando nel nostro lavoro di sviluppatori. Partiremo dalle basi: * cosa sono i Large Language Models (LLM) * cosa significa davvero parlare di “agenti” * come funzionano concetti come MCP, tools e skills Per poi passare alla pratica, con esempi concreti su come queste tecnologie possono essere integrate nel workflow quotidiano di uno sviluppatore PHP, utilizzando strumenti come **Laravel Boost** all’interno di progetti reali. Vedremo come configurare e utilizzare agenti per: * scrivere test automaticamente * analizzare e migliorare il codice * generare documentazione * supportare attività ripetitive come commit e refactoring **L’obiettivo non è sostituire lo sviluppatore, ma aumentare la sua capacità di lavorare meglio, più velocemente e con maggiore consapevolezza.** Chiuderemo con una riflessione sul futuro della professione: * quali competenze diventeranno fondamentali * cosa cambierà davvero nel nostro lavoro * e soprattutto… quale sarà il nostro ruolo in un mondo dove il codice può essere scritto (anche) da una AI Un talk pratico, concreto e senza fuffa, pensato per sviluppatori che vogliono capire — davvero — come usare queste tecnologie invece di subirle.

A unique musical experience called a "Sound Bath" Sound bath! What's that? According to sonic specialist Monte Hansen from Annapolis MD, "A sound bath is an immersion in sound frequency that cleans your soul." Leave your rubber ducky at home. Bring your blankey instead, for this super relaxing immersion! According to cutting-edge doctors from Harvard, some of the deepest most profound healing in the body are accomplished with sound frequency. That's old news though. A 2nd century stone relief in the Himalayan mountains shows us that Buddha and his entourage knew this before Christ walked the earth. The stone relief depicts the Buddha and his buddies playing ancient Tibetan singing bowls. A sound frequency specialist from the [Human Activation School](https://humanactivation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d88b4fea1b0f4ceaeb58f0e82&id=d6674b4603&e=465ba11f44), will be playing several of these rare Singing Bowls, some of which are over 200 years old. A magical alchemy of 7-12 different metals rings in the past, present, and future for our relaxing enchantment. Even modern doctors are using these old metal bowls for healing, and they are not practicing Buddhists! As a matter of fact, modern Buddhists no longer use the bowls in their practice. Come experience these gifts from the past in this NON-religious practice of our present. Come be rejuvenated or just captivated by this unique musical performance. Bring your pillows, blankeys, and yoga mats and snuggle into the comfort of the tranquil sounds. Feel free to sit, lay, or even stand! ***Did You Know?*** Singing bowls invite the mind and body into a tranquil state of being in which remarkable healing can occur, events that are unexplainable from a conventional biomedical perspective” *Music and the Meditative Mind: Toward the Science of the Ineffable*[Source](https://humanactivation.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d88b4fea1b0f4ceaeb58f0e82&id=9222616fc4&e=465ba11f44) "The sound bath meditation provides a nurturing space to connect and grow spiritually.

**Agenda :** * 4.45 to 5.00 PM ET: Food and Networking * 5.00 to 5.50 PM ET: "Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit" Hello Everyone! Please join us for our April 14th edition of the AI-ML MeetUp. **Please note this is an in-person meeting and light refreshments/food will be provided. You will need a government-issued ID to enter the facility.** **Title:** Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit **Description:** Spec-Driven Development **flips the script** on traditional software development. For decades, code has been king — specifications were just scaffolding we built and discarded once the "real work" of coding began. Spec-Driven Development changes this: **specifications become executable**, directly generating working implementations rather than just guiding them. In this hands-on lab, we will be covering building your application using SpecKit. Pre-requisites: VSCode v1.107, GitHub Copilot, Python 3.13 + uv, Git installed. **Location:** The meeting will be hosted in the Applied Information Sciences ( AIS ) office in Reston, at 11440 Commerce Park Dr # 600 · Reston, VA. The location is also right off the Silver Line metro's Wiehle-Reston Metro Station. **Parking:** Parking is paid and can be validated at the AIS office reception. We will meet in Room Lake Anne. We hope to see you all there!!!!
