Build Your Personal AI Assistant with OpenClaw
Hi everyone,
Ever wished you had a personal AI assistant that knows you, remembers your preferences, and works 24/7 across your favourite messaging apps?
In this hands-on beginner workshop, Ray Han — who runs multiple AI assistants for his own businesses — will walk you through building your own personal AI assistant using OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent platform.
**What you'll learn:**
· What OpenClaw is and why it's different from ChatGPT
· Set up your own AI assistant (two methods — 1-click cloud and full local install)
· Connect it to Telegram or WhatsApp
· Give it memory, personality, and your own instructions
· Real demos of what a configured assistant can actually do
**What to bring:** Laptop (not tablet) with Chrome browser. No coding experience needed. Wi-Fi provided.
**Who is this for:** AI-curious professionals, founders, and anyone who wants a personal AI that works for them — not just a chatbot.
Speaker's profile:
Ray works in a MNC, where he leads enterprise AI strategy. Outside work, he runs multiple businesses — including a TCM clinic and professional training consultancy — each with its own AI assistant built on OpenClaw.
Ray is an AI practitioner, not a theorist. His AI assistants manage his content library, monitor markets, coach his fitness, and handle daily operations across his ventures, also helping to shape this event. He's currently writing a book on building personal AI assistants.

Prostate Cancer Health Talk with Dr. Peter Lim | Free Event for Men 40+
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in Singapore. Most men have no symptoms in the early stages — and by the time they do, it may already be advanced. **Early detection saves lives. And it starts with knowing your risk.**
This April, take the most important step for your health and join us for a free, expert-led talk by **Dr. Lim Huat Chye Peter** — one of Singapore's most respected urologists and founder of the Society for Men's Health (Singapore).
**📅 Date:** Saturday, 11 April 2026
**🕑 Time:** 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM
**📍 Venue:** Farrer Park Hospital, Connexion, #16-06 (Viv Hall)
**💰 Admission:** FREE
**If you're a man over 40, this talk is for you.**
Most men avoid talking about their health — until it's too late. Don't wait for symptoms. Prostate cancer is highly treatable when caught early, but the window matters. This is your chance to get straight-talking, expert guidance in a relaxed, open setting where all questions are welcome.
**What you'll learn:**
* What prostate cancer is and how it develops silently
* Who is at risk — and why men over 40 need to act now
* When and how to get screened, and what tests to expect
* Treatment options and the latest advances in urological care
* How to have the conversation with your doctor — and what questions to ask
Come alone, or bring a father, brother, husband, or friend. The men in your life need to hear this.
**Seats are limited. This event is free — but your health is priceless. Register now before it's too late.**

Zabeer Farook, Technical Architect, Credit Agricole CIB
**Talk:**
Natural Language Analytics in the Lakehouse : Why is it harder than it looks?
**Abstract:**
AI agents and the Model Context Protocol finally make natural language analytics on your lakehouse technically plausible — any LLM can discover your schema, plan a query strategy, and return results in seconds. But connect an agent directly to your Iceberg stack and something uncomfortable happens: it returns confident, fluent, wrong answers with no signal that anything is amiss. This talk demonstrates exactly why — wrong metric formulas, invented business terms, incorrect join paths — and introduces the architectural layer that fixes it: the unified semantic layer, exposed as an MCP API. A glimpse at what becomes possible when agents call meaning, not just schema.
**Bio:**
Zabeer is a seasoned Technology Architect with nearly 20 years of experience in enterprise software across FSI and fintech, including retail banking, wealth management, KYC, regulatory reporting, and payment systems. He brings strong expertise in digital transformation, legacy modernization, and data engineering, with hands-on experience in AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, Flink, Spark, APIs, and DevOps. Actively contributes to the Singapore tech community, co-hosting Kafka meetups and delivering technical talks, with a strong focus on real-time data streaming and event-driven architecture.

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)
We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches.
These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun!
Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up:

Happy hitting!

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
