What to expect

Learn to build your own personal AI agent from scratch in this intensive hands-on workshop focused on OpenClaw, an open-source framework that lets you create AI assistants running on your own hardware without surrendering control of your data.

Why This Workshop Matters

AI agents are rapidly becoming essential tools for modern productivity, and early adopters will have a significant advantage as this technology becomes mainstream. This workshop teaches you to build an agent that manages your calendar, drafts emails, automates repetitive tasks, and integrates with your existing tools — all while maintaining complete control over your data and security.

What You'll Build

You'll construct a personal AI agent that operates under your rules and runs on your hardware. This isn't a no-code drag-and-drop experience — you'll gain deep understanding of how agents work, how to configure proper permissions and guardrails, and how to avoid the security pitfalls that come with giving an AI the ability to act on your behalf.

Workshop Content

  • Set up OpenClaw from scratch on your own machine
  • Configure your agent with appropriate permissions and security guardrails
  • Connect integrations to calendars, email, messaging platforms, and other productivity tools
  • Understand the security model and learn to avoid common implementation mistakes
  • Build practical automations that deliver genuine time savings
  • Navigate the risks of granting AI assistants autonomous capabilities

Who Should Attend

This workshop is designed for curious builders, developers, and productivity enthusiasts who want hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI agent technology. Whether you're a software engineer, tech entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to understand how personal AI agents work, you'll leave with practical skills and a working system.

What's Included

Lunch is provided throughout the day-long session. The organisers can provide hardware if needed, or you can bring your own computer. The workshop runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, giving you ample time to work through setup, configuration, and practical implementations.

Your Instructors

Stephen DeLorme, co-founder of ATL BitLab and open source contributor, leads the workshop alongside Alex Lewin, a software engineer and AI builder. Both bring real-world experience building and deploying AI systems.

Hosted by ATL BitLab in Atlanta, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to gain hands-on expe
