**OpenClaw Setup Session **

Curious about OpenClaw but haven’t had the chance to try it yet?

AI tools evolve quickly, and it’s easy to feel like you’re always catching up. This event is designed to slow things down and make the technology practical.

Join us in London for a hands-on OpenClaw setup session. The goal of the evening is simple: help you build and launch your own OpenClaw agent step by step.

What this session covers

This workshop will walk participants through the full process of creating an OpenClaw agent. Rather than simply demonstrating a finished setup, we will guide you through building it yourself so you leave with a working system and a clear understanding of how it operates.

By the end of the session you will:

• Deploy your own OpenClaw agent
• Connect it to Telegram
• Configure its personality and capabilities
• Understand the core components behind OpenClaw agents
• Learn how to continue improving and customizing your setup.

This is intended to be accessible and practical, not overly technical.

Who should attend

This session is ideal for:

• Freelancers, founders, and small business owners
• Product managers, marketers, and operations professionals
• People exploring AI agents and automation
• Anyone curious about OpenClaw who wants to try it in a structured environment

No development background is required. If you are comfortable installing software and following setup instructions, you will be able to participate.
