Vibe Check: Deploying OpenClaw: Exploring Autonomous Systems in the Wild

​What happens when you spin up a DigitalOcean Droplet and unleash OpenClaw on it… live? Lizzie Siegle from DigitalOcean is joining us to explore exactly that. OpenClaw is an open source AI agent framework built to do more than chat. It can reason, take actions, use tools, and interact directly with systems. In this session, Lizzie will connect it to a Droplet and put that autonomy to work in real time.

We’ll dig into how OpenClaw operates, why pairing it with lightweight, developer-friendly infrastructure like a Droplet is valuable, and what changes when an agent moves from idea to operating against real resources. This isn’t just a demo, it’s a live exploration of autonomous potential, practical guardrails, and the realities of giving AI real access. And yes, we’re doing it live which means anything could happen.
