Most OpenClaw workshops skip the fundamentals and teach you 1-click setup on AI or cloud providers...

I decided to go for a different path. In my workshop, I guide learners to set up with the original experience: install it on your laptop, but with security in mind.

It ends with $0/month, and an agent you actually own. I will also recommend the next step to take it to the next level. You learn the foundation to set it up yourself and how to move forward, instead of being locked in by a vendor.

The 3rd run of my Guided OpenClaw Setup is on May 8 in Singapore. Details @ https://lnkd.in/gsVKsB7G. Just scan the WhatsApp and ping me if you are keen to register. Limited slots left.

By 6pm, you walk out with:

1. Your own AI agent running on your laptop. You give it a name, a soul, and behavioral rules. It is yours, not rented.

2. Connected to Telegram. You message it from your phone like any other contact. No new app to install, no new account to sign up for.

3. A free Gemini API key wired up as the brain. $0 to install. $0/month to operate.

4. No cloud, no vendor lock-in. OpenClaw is open-source and runs on your machine. Nobody can revoke access. Nobody can change the pricing on you.

How this is different from most OpenClaw workshops:

No cloud. No vendor lock-in. Guided installation based on the official documentation of OpenClaw. You get the original experience.

On-the-spot troubleshooting if your machine hits issues. We build in dedicated troubleshooting time and the facilitator circulates throughout. No one leaves stuck on the install.

Beginner first. The workshop starts from “what is an AI agent” and ends with one running on your laptop, connected to your phone. No assumed knowledge.

Expert guided, not a self-paced video. A facilitator with 19 years of experience building tech solutions is in the room with you while you do the work, not a video recording you watch alone.

This is OC-1, the first in a 3-part OpenClaw series. OC-2 (Personal AI Assistant) and OC-3 (AI Content Strategist) build directly on top of it.

Best for: anyone curious about OpenClaw and AI beyond ChatGPT. Anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of AI agents and OpenClaw without paying a subscription forever. Anyone who is curious how ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cowork and OpenClaw fit together.

Not for: developers looking for an advanced agent framework deep-dive.
