Build x Agents [ADVANCED]: Hands-On Exchange — Claude Code, OpenClaw, +

​An exchange for advanced AI builders to share how they build, deploy, and debug autonomous agent systems — using tools like Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, and beyond. This event is for advanced builders, but beginners are welcome as observers.

​TL;DR

• ​Landscape discussion: What tools and approaches is everyone using right now?

• ​Practical project exploration: Real projects shown under the hood, explored and discussed by the room.

• ​Breakout groups: Focused discussions on specific technologies, chosen by the group.

• ​Advanced focused: Come ready to share what you're building.

​Agenda

1. ​Landscape Overview & Group Discussion (30 mins)

   • ​The organizers will kick off with a brief presentation on the current landscape of agentic tools, frameworks, and theoretical approaches. We'll touch on the shift towards autonomous systems and modular "Skills" architectures.

   • ​This transitions into an open group discussion where everyone shares what approaches, stacks, and tools they are currently building with—from using Anthropic's new Claude Code and Claude Cowork, to self-hosting OpenClaw, or deeply integrating Codex and other agentic models into their workflows.

2. ​Practical Project Exploration (45 mins)

   • ​A highly practical session where 2-3 builders showcase a specific project or architecture they are working on.

   • ​We will go in-depth under the hood: looking at code, workflow diagrams, or specific failures, while the room acts as a collective brain to critique, debug, and suggest improvements.

3. ​Technology Breakout Groups (30 mins, optional — if there is interest and time)

   • ​We will break into smaller groups (or remain as one group if under 10 people) to discuss specific, trending technologies selected dynamically by the room.

   • ​Topics could include:

     • ​Coding & General Agents: Claude Code vs. Codex, Cursor, and the rise of desktop agents like Claude Cowork.

     • ​Open Source & Local Agents: Self-hosting highly capable open-source counterparts like OpenClaw.

     • ​Agent Frameworks & Extensibility: Building and distributing modular AI "Skills", Swarm architectures, and tool orchestration (LangGraph, etc.).

4. ​Drinks & Connect (Remaining Time)

   • ​Open conversation over drinks to continue the deep technical discussions. We will close the space around 21:00, and encourage continuing the conversation at the nearby "Trödler" bar.

​Instructions

• ​Please answer the technical questions asked during registration to help us curate the right breakout sessions and peer reviews.

• ​The venue is in Kreuzberg near Kotti. The concrete venue address will be released after approval.
