OpenClaw: Applied usecases
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register here for a valid ticket: [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3](www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3)**
"A capable agent is one that replies. A valuable agent is one that handles real work."
This is the third installment in the OpenClaw series, shifting focus toward practical application—deploying built agents into real workflows across customer support, go-to-market, engineering, and QA. The event features a self-directed, table-group format where attendees work at their own pace alongside others pursuing similar goals.
What we'll work through together
• Customer support automation: triaging, drafting, routing, resolving without the back-and-forth
• GTM workflows: lead research, outreach drafting, CRM updates, follow-up sequences
• Engineering tasks: PR summaries, issue triage, documentation, test generation
• QA and ops: automated checks, error monitoring, reporting pipelines
• Building for your domain: scoping the right use case and wiring it up end to end
Bring a laptop. Bring a running agent. Have a workflow in mind you'd love to hand off.

Now make it genuinely useful.

This is the second day in the OpenClaw series. We're going deeper: memory that actually persists across conversations, a knowledge base it can draw on, skills that connect it to the tools you already use, and workflows that handle a whole process end to end. These are the things that turn an interesting agent into something you actually rely on.
Self-directed, table-group format. You work at your own pace, in your own direction, with people around you doing the same.
**What we'll work through together**
* Memory architecture: short-term, long-term, episodic and how to set them up properly
* Knowledge bases: connecting your own docs and notes so the agent can draw on them
* Good skills to add: which integrations are worth the effort (Notion, email, calendar, GitHub)
* Giving access to tools: MCP, APIs, function calling
* Proper workflows: multi-step, conditional, handling a whole process and not just one message
* Sandboxing: running actions safely without breaking things or leaking data

FREE Morning Motivation Meetup
A wonderful way to spend a weekend morning! Treat yourself to a special morning — a breakfast with a psychologist and like-minded people! It's not a formal consultation, but an easy-going chat over tea/coffee about the things that truly matter to you.
What you will gain from this unique meeting:
✨ **Opportunity to ask any questions**: We’ll discuss anything that’s on your mind and try to find answers together.
🌟 **Connections with amazing people**: Surround yourself with inspiring new acquaintances and feel the power of communication among like-minded individuals.
💫 **Energy and inspiration**: Recharge with positive energy and share it with others, creating an atmosphere of mutual support.
🌿 **Unconditional acceptance**: This is a space where you are accepted just as you are, without judgment or expectations.
🧠 **A wealth of useful information**: Take home a treasure trove of new knowledge, practical advice, and insights that can help you in life.
🌸 **Working through your worries**: Together, we’ll address your concerns and help you find peace and confidence.
☕ **Comfort and coziness**: Enjoy a delicious breakfast or fragrant coffee in a pleasant atmosphere, where you can relax and feel at home.
This meeting is a time for you, where self-care combines with new opportunities and inspiration!
🔖**Spaces are limited! Reserve your spot in advance and take the first step towards a new beginning. Maybe we are just waiting for you?**
Topic for 27/06/2026
**“Why it’s so hard to start doing things — even when you really want to. Motivation”**
**In our meeting, we will talk about:**
* why motivation doesn’t just appear when you “need to start”
* why your brain avoids important tasks and pulls you into procrastination
* how perfectionism quietly stops you before you even begin
* why self-criticism kills motivation instead of creating it
* and what actually helps you start moving in real life, even without “feeling ready”
This meeting will create a space for deep reflection and supportive communication, where you can find answers to your pressing questions and uncover new opportunities for personal growth. Join us to take the first step toward change!
You're welcome to bring your friends —it's a great idea! There are no age limits! Can't wait to see you at breakfast!

Social Pub Crawl
**[Early Bird Discount](www.eventbrite.com/e/1987332467909/?discount=Meetup)**
### ✨ What Is the Social Pub Crawl?
A relaxed and social pub crawl designed to help people connect naturally while enjoying a night out in Dublin.
This is **not a massive party crawl** and not a tourist tour.
It’s a friendly, international experience where drinks, short social games and good conversations come together in an easy and natural way.
Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll quickly feel part of the group.
### 🍻 How It Works
We’ll visit several pubs in the city centre, staying around **30–40 minutes in each one**.
At every stop, the organizer will run a **short and simple social activity**.
These games are designed to:
* Break the ice naturally
* Help people interact without pressure
* Work well in busy, noisy pubs
Between activities, there’s plenty of time to chat, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
🏆 In each activity, points are awarded to several participants.
At the end of the night, **the 3 people with the most points win a free drink**.
### 🍀 Who Is This Event For?
Absolutely everyone.
New in Dublin, long-time residents, expats, locals, shy people, outgoing people — all are welcome.
You don’t need to drink alcohol, be loud, or be “good at games”.
The only requirement is being open to meeting new people in a relaxed way.
### 💬 A Friendly & Comfortable Atmosphere
Our events are known for being inclusive, respectful and easy-going.
Come alone or with friends — you’ll feel comfortable from the very beginning.
To keep the experience social and personal, **spots are limited**.

Craft Night
**Craft Night has returned to Tog!**
*From 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm every second Sunday, drop by and join in.*
Whether you make the yarn itself (we love spinners!) or noodle about with e-textiles and blinky quilts, you will be very welcome.
If you haven’t been to Craft Night before, it’s mainly people working on portable crafts like yarn-based and textile projects, jewellery and paper crafts. Feel free to bring your current WIP (Work In Progress). We’ll take over the common area with crafting and conversation.
We might even try to bring a group Craft Night project to Dublin Maker (it’s been a while!).
You’ll find the nights on [our calendar](https://www.tog.ie/calendar/), so you don’t need to remember which every other Sunday it is. Newcomers to Tog are more than welcome to join us.
See you there!

AI Video Generation: Tools, Projects & Show & Tell
This is the **first meetup** of our AI video generation group, and we are keeping it small and hands-on.
We will have **4 laptops** set up and ready to go:
* one for demos.
* one for guided tutorials.
* and one for you to practice on yourself.
With only **8 people** in the room, there's plenty of time to ask questions, try things out, and actually get into the tools rather than just watch someone else use them.
**What we will cover:**
* A walkthrough of AI video generation tools including ComfyUI, Higgsfield, and Kling AI.
* Hands-on practice time at the workstations.
* Open discussion > what are you working on, what tools are you curious about?
No experience needed. If you have never touched any of these tools before, that's completely fine: that's what the tutorial station is for.
**A few practicalities:**
* Spaces are capped at 8 (2 people per workstation).
* €5 attendance fee.
* Feel free to bring your own laptop if you have one.
See you at the IFI.

Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week.
You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring.
Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell.
**This month**
Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads.
**What to expect**
Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM.
**Who this is for**
Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community.
**Not the right fit if**
You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM.
**Details**
* Second Monday of every month
* 12:00 to 1:30 PM
* Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219
* Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive
* Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
**About Our Speaker:**
[Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.
