🦞 OpenClaw Workshop - Build a Personal Agent - Spots Limited!
Sat, Apr 11 · 10:00 AM EDT
684 John Wesley Dobbs Ave NE suite a1, Atlanta, GA, US
AI agents are the next frontier — and the people who learn this now will be miles ahead as they become the norm.

OpenClaw is an open-source framework for building your own personal AI agent. One that runs on your hardware, follows your rules, and supercharges your productivity.

Imagine an assistant that can manage your calendar, draft emails, automate repetitive tasks, and integrate with all your tools — without handing your data to a third party.

But here's the thing: if you set it up wrong, you're giving an AI the ability to act on your behalf. That's powerful — and risky if done carelessly.

In this paid hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to do it right:

✅ Set up OpenClaw from scratch on your own machine

✅ Configure your agent with the right permissions and guardrails

✅ Connect it to your tools (calendar, email, messaging, and more)

✅ Understand the security model — and avoid common mistakes

✅ Build automations that actually save you time

Your instructors:
Stephen DeLorme — Co-founder of ATL BitLab, open source contributor
Alex Lewin — Software engineer and AI builder

What you will need:
💻 Computer (we can provide hardware or make arrangements for you to bring your own)
🧠 Curiosity

Lunch provided!
