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.

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

**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. 🦞🔥
