Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant and self-hosted gateway designed to connect AI models, tools, skills, automation, and messaging platforms through a unified environment. Its ability to run on local systems or servers and work with different model providers makes it useful for building personalized AI-driven workflows, assistants, and automation solutions. This course begins with an introduction to OpenClaw, its ecosystem, and deployment options, followed by local and VPS installation, onboarding, security hardening, Telegram integration, model configuration, API cost control, and fallback models. It then covers skills, Google Workspace integration, email automation, workspace memory, scheduled tasks, web browsing, sub-agents, Apify, business intelligence workflows, competitor monitoring, intelligence digests, Obsidian, SSH, Tailscale VPN, prompt injection, connection safety, and the Mission Control dashboard for tasks, projects, documents, finances, calendars, teams, and mobile access. You will learn to deploy, secure, customize, and use OpenClaw to build practical AI agents, integrations, automations, intelligence workflows, and a personalized Mission Control environment.
