OpenClaw SD
San Diego
A weekend of shipping, hacking, and deep dives with OpenClaw in San Diego. Whether you're wiring up multi-agent workflows or deploying your first one — there's a track for you.
What is this
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent that lives on your machine. Not a chatbot you visit in a browser. It connects to your apps (WhatsApp, Slack, iMessage), browses the web, runs code, and automates your life. All your data stays on your hardware.
Created by Peter Steinberger, it's one of the fastest-growing open-source AI projects on GitHub — and it doesn't just talk. It has claws. It reads your files, calls APIs, runs commands, and ships automations. The lobster is the mascot.
Getting started?
No experience needed. You'll leave Friday night with a working AI agent on your machine, connected to your phone.
