Build Your First OpenClaw AI Agent - Beginner-Friendly (Hands-On)
The AI Capitol × AI Playground Labs Presents:
Build Your First AI Agent in a controlled environment (for Non-Technical).
Leave with your first working agent — AND the confidence to build and adapt it yourself
🌟 Why This Lab Exists
AI started with prompts.
The next wave is AI agents — systems that can research, monitor information, and automate workflows.
Used well, these systems can save hundreds of hours of repetitive work.
But most people are still stuck at:
• “How do I actually start?”
• “What setup should I use?”
• “What’s the right way to try this without messing things up?”
So they stay in learning mode —
watching, reading, saving.
But not building.
The gap isn’t knowledge.
It’s starting properly.
This lab is designed to help you move from observing → doing
in a guided, controlled environment.
💎 What You’ll Experience
In this 4-hour guided group lab (not a done-for-you setup), you will:
✅ Understand the Landscape
• See a real AI agent system in action
• Understand how modern agent workflows actually work
• Learn how agents are set up (local, cloud, hybrid)
✅ Set Up Your Environment
• Follow a beginner-friendly setup framework
• Get your own controlled environment ready for building
✅ Build Your First Agent
• Step-by-step guided build (non-technical friendly)
• Run your first simple workflow end-to-end
✅ Apply & Extend
• Experiment with variations
• Learn about next steps for extension into use cases
✅ Onsite Support
• Facilitated guidance throughout
• Post-session check-in
Lab Flow
1. Welcome & Context
Quick introductions and overview of what we’ll build together.
2. See an AI Agent in Action
A live demo so you understand the end goal before building.
3. Understanding AI Agents
The shift from prompts → workflows → agents.
4. Agent Setup Landscape
Explore how builders currently run agents:
• local
• cloud
• hybrid
Understand trade-offs and beginner-friendly approaches.
5. Guided Environment Setup
Prepare a controlled environment to run your first agent.
Goal: reach a working baseline setup for building.
6. Build Your First AI Agent
Follow step-by-step to create your first simple workflow.
7. Apply & Extend (Builder Mode)
Experiment with variations and learn how to extend your agent into real use cases.
By the End of the Session
You’ll have:
• a working agent prototype
• a practical understanding of how agent systems operate
• a clear starting point to continue building on your own
🤝🏻 Format
Small, private group experimentation lab.
To keep this hands-on and focused, limited to a small group of participants.
Everyone will:
• work on their own laptop / spare laptop (not necessary but if you prefer it is an option too)
• set up their own environment
• build and test their own agentic workflows
Who This Is For
Designed for non-technical operators and builders exploring AI agents.
Ideal for:
• operators and founders exploring automation
• product managers and innovation teams
• consultants and strategists
• designers and creatives
• AI-curious professionals ready to go beyond ChatGPT
No coding required.
🔥 Why a Group Lab?
Unlike 1:1 setups, this session is designed for:
• learning through shared exploration
• seeing how different workflows are built
• developing a reusable mental model
You’re not just setting up one agent —
you’re learning how to think in agents.
What This Is (and isn’t)
This is not a 1:1 deployment or done-for-you setup.
👉 Instead, you will:
• understand how agent systems actually work
• build your first version yourself
• learn how to continue beyond the session
Important Note
This is an experimental learning environment.
We will use a controlled setup designed for exploration and understanding —
not production use or sensitive data.
What You’ll Walk Away With
🌟 A working agent prototype you’ve built yourself
🌟A clear mental model of how agent systems actually work
🌟A practical starting point to apply this in your workflows
🌟The confidence to continue building and experimenting on your own
🌟 Exposure to how others are thinking about and building their workflows

FAQ
Do I need technical experience?
No. This session is designed for non-technical participants.
We focus on understanding and guided building — not coding.
Will I get a fully working system by the end?
You’ll leave with a functional agent prototype and a clear understanding of how to extend it further.
The lab is designed for practical learning, not just theory.
Is this safe to run on my laptop?
We will use a controlled setup designed for experimentation.
However, this is not an enterprise-grade setup, more for personal use for a start and we will guide you on how to avoid using sensitive data or accounts for the recommended setup.
What do I need to prepare?
You’ll need:
• your laptop
• stable internet
• (optional) API key setup instructions will be shared before the session.
Is there a minimum number of participants to run the session?
Yes — sessions will proceed with a minimum of 5 participants.
If the minimum is not met, you’ll be offered a reschedule to another date or a full refund.
Will we connect to real tools (e.g. email, etc) ?
No — the session focuses on learning and we do not connect to sensitive or personal systems during the lab.
What if I want a fully set-up agent for my enterprise?
This lab focuses on learning and building your first version.
If you’re looking for a fully customised setup, separate 1:1 implementation sessions are available.
Can’t make it?
No worries — you have options:
• 🎟 Transfer your pass to someone else
• 7+ days before: Full refund
• 2–7 days before: 50% refund
• <24 hours / No-show: Non-refundable
Just let us know in advance!
