AWS User Group Brisbane - Build AI Agents on AWS with OpenClaw: Hands-On Workshop
This month we're going hands-on. Instead of talks, you'll spend the evening building real AI agents on AWS. Agents that summarise the news, draft messages, coordinate meetings, and keep an eye on your cloud infra. Bring a laptop, we'll bring everything else (AWS accounts included).
🛠️ The workshop: OpenClaw on AWS
OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent platform that runs on AWS and uses Amazon Bedrock for inference. We'll work through three modules: connect OpenClaw to email, calendar, and document tools; build a Daily Brief Agent and a Productivity Agent; then tackle Research, Business, Calendar, and CloudOps Agents as far as you get. It's all chat-based, no coding required.
