SUMMARY:🦞 OpenClaw SD: Deep Dive 🦞
DESCRIPTION:​You’ve seen the clips. The AI agent that manages your email\, browses the web\, schedules your day\, and builds its own tools — all from a WhatsApp message. 220K+ GitHub stars. Open source. Free. And most people still have no idea how it all actually works. \n​This is your chance to find out. Three sessions. San Diego’s best builders sharing the know-how. \n​FIND YOUR FIT. \n​🤖 Session 1: Agent Design “How do I actually build with this?” For developers\, tinkerers\, and the AI-curious who want to go under the hood. How agents think\, use tools\, and chain tasks together — and how to build your own workflows from scratch. \n​⚡ Session 2: Automation “How does this help my business right now?” For founders\, operators\, and team leads who want results\, not theory. Real workflows people are automating today: lead follow-up\, scheduling\, content\, reporting. Less “what if” — more “here’s how.” \n​🔒 Session 3: Security “Wait\, should I be worried about this?” Honest answer: maybe. OpenClaw runs locally with access to your files\, browser\, and accounts. That’s what makes it powerful — and risky. What can go wrong\, how to lock it down\, and what every team should know before giving an AI agent the keys.

SUMMARY:VibeCraft Power Hour
DESCRIPTION:VibeCraft is a recurring\, collaborative working session where ideas turn into experiments and experiments turn into real builds. Each session is shaped by the group. We review what is emerging\, explore new directions\, and decide together what is worth building next. \nThis is not a presentation or a passive meetup. It is an active\, hands-on environment where members contribute ideas\, react to each other’s work\, and influence the direction of future sessions. Expect open discussion\, live demos\, shared whiteboards\, and practical exploration. \nSessions may include live walkthroughs of tools\, automations\, and AI agents\, discussions around product and company design\, rapid demos from members\, and breakdowns of different approaches to building with modern AI systems. Topics evolve over time\, but the focus remains the same: learning by doing\, building in public\, and exploring a high-tech\, high-touch future grounded in curiosity\, collaboration\, and thoughtful design. \nCome ready to participate\, share what you are building\, and help shape what we explore next as a VibeCraft community.

The room brings together people looking to grow not only in business\, but in meaningful relationships rooted in trust\, curiosity\, and long-term perspective. \n​Come to connect\, not transact. \n​Leave with momentum\, fresh perspective\, and a handful of relationships worth investing in. \n​DRESS CODE: Business casual and fashion forward.
