Beginner-Friendly Live Build: Your First OpenClaw Agent

If you're new to OpenClaw and want to see a live, beginner-friendly walkthrough, The Clawcast is hosting a session this Wednesday, July 8. The event will show how to set up an OpenClaw agent without needing any coding or tech background.
Event Details
- Date: Wednesday, July 8
- Time: 2:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM PT
- Platform: Official OpenClaw Discord — join live here
- Recording: Will be posted later on @OpenClawYT
The session is targeted at non-technical users curious about OpenClaw. No prior experience needed — just show up and follow along. If you can't make it live, the recording will be available on the OpenClaw YouTube channel.
OpenClaw is a framework for building AI coding agents that can interact with your codebase, run commands, and automate development workflows. This live build will walk through the initial setup: installing dependencies, configuring the agent, and running a basic task.
