AI Workshop: Getting Started with OpenClaw

Join us for an exciting beginner-friendly workshop where you'll take your first steps into the agentic era by creating and deploying your very own OpenClaw AI agent from scratch! This hands-on session will guide you step-by-step through the process of building an agent that identifies potential contacts to reach out to based on your specified criteria. No prior experience with OpenClaw or agent frameworks is necessary—only a basic understanding of development concepts and a passion for building!

What You’ll Do:

1️⃣ Understand What Makes an Agent
2️⃣ Install OpenClaw
3️⃣ Build & Deploy Your First OpenClaw Agent
4️⃣ Intro to Cognee

TechEquity AI invites you to an afternoon of applied AI learning and hands-on building at Snowflake's Silicon Valley AI Hub (SVAI) in Menlo Park, CA. This workshop is part of the TechEquity Ai Monthly Forum Series, which merges strategic insights, real-world use cases from industry leaders, technical workshops, and live demonstrations.
