Common questions
Do I need to pay for anything? +
No. The workshop uses the free Gemini API tier, zero cost to install, and $0/month to run the agent after you leave.
What if OpenClaw won't install on my laptop? +
We build in dedicated troubleshooting time and the facilitator circulates throughout. If your machine has issues, you'll pair with a neighbour and still complete every step.
I'm not technical at all. Can I still do this? +
Yes. The GUI installer handles all complexity, you will not touch a terminal. If you can install an app from a website, you can complete this workshop.
Will my agent still work after the workshop ends? +
Yes, it runs on your own laptop. No cloud subscription, no vendor lock-in. As long as your machine is on, your agent is live.
What is OpenClaw exactly? +
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent framework that runs locally on your machine. It connects to AI models (we use Google's free Gemini) and lets you build a personal assistant accessible via browser, Telegram, or other channels.
What if I want to continue learning after this? +
OC-2 (Build Your Personal AI Assistant) is the natural next step, it builds directly on what you set up in OC-1, adding email, calendar, and file capabilities.
