Open Claw 101

​I’m hosting a short Zoom session for the Keep Going community on March 16, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST where we’ll walk through installing and trying out OpenClaw.

​OpenClaw is an open source tool that lets you run and manage AI agents locally. A lot of readers have asked how it works and whether it’s difficult to set up. The answer is that it’s not impossible, but it can be confusing the first time you try it. So this session is meant to make that first step easier.

​This will be a beginner friendly session. We are not going to dive deep into the internals or spend time on complicated configuration. Instead we will focus on the basics. We will install OpenClaw, get it running, and take a look at what it can actually do once it’s set up. The goal is simply to get people comfortable with the tool and show how it works in practice.

​If you have been curious about running agents locally, or you’ve tried installing OpenClaw and got stuck somewhere along the way, this is a good chance to follow along and ask questions.

​This is an experiment for the Keep Going community. If it goes well, I’ll run more sessions like this covering tools, workflows, and things that are actually useful to founders and builders.

​Hope to see you there.
