OpenClaw WhatsApp AI Agent Workshop
Build Your First WhatsApp AI Agent: Automate Enrollment & FAQs with Yamify
Most discussions about AI are pure theory. This session is the exact opposite.
This is a 100% hands-on workshop designed for non-technical professionals, school administrators, operations leads, and community managers. By the end of this 90-minute session, you won't just understand AI agents you will have built and deployed a live, functioning WhatsApp AI Agent capable of handling student enrollment, onboarding workflows, and answering complex FAQs automatically.
We will be building on Yamify, a secure cloud platform designed to make advanced AI automation accessible without writing a single line of code. Full technical guidance and step-by-step support will be provided throughout the room.
What We Will Build Together
We are moving past generic ChatGPT prompts. You will build a real-world, operational automation system covering:
The Enrollment Workflow: Designing simple WhatsApp conversational flows that capture student details and automatically qualify or onboard them.
Instant FAQ Automation: Setting up an OpenClaw AI agent on the Yamify cloud to instantly answer repetitive questions about course dates, fees, and requirements.
Going Live: Connecting your agent directly to WhatsApp to see it respond to live messages in real time.
Production Basics: Understanding the security, reliability, and safe usage guardrails needed when deploying public-facing AI.
Who Should Attend?
Absolutely no coding or technical background is required. This workshop is tailor-made for:
Admissions & Student Success Teams looking to clear their queues and automate repetitive FAQs.
Operations Leads & Mid-Level Managers wanting to see how AI workflows actually execute tasks in the real world.
Business Owners & Non-Technical Professionals eager to deploy practical AI tools that save hours of manual work every single week.
Tech Enthusiasts & Founders curious about the capabilities of the OpenClaw architecture and Yamify infrastructure.
