OpenClaw AI Agent Builder Certification

Build your own personal AI operating system using OpenClaw, custom skills, and automated workflows connected to WhatsApp or Telegram.

5,000+ professionals taught | 2 live sessions | 100% hands-on | No coding required

Most people use AI like a chat tool. In this course, you’ll learn how to build an AI agent that works in the background, remembers context, automates tasks, and connects to real workflows.

This program is for people who want to move beyond prompting and start building AI agents that handle real work such as research, summaries, content drafting, client ops, reminders, and task management.

Over 2 days, you’ll learn how to:

• Build inbox triage, daily summaries, research, and briefings
• Create content drafting and review workflows
• Connect AI to CRM lookups and client ops
• Automate reminders, tasks, and follow-ups

By the end, you’ll have a running OpenClaw agent connected to WhatsApp or Telegram, a custom skill you built yourself, and practical workflows ready to use.

What you’ll leave with

• 1 running OpenClaw instance
• 1 custom skill you built and own
• 2 automated AI agent workflows
• OpenClaw Certified Builder badge
• Templates, prompts, automations, and workflows - All Yours

What you’ll learn

Your phone becomes a 24/7 AI operator. Build and deploy a personal agent on WhatsApp in 2 days. No theory, just results.

  • Install OpenClaw and connect it to your comms channel in under 30 minutes

  • Name your agent, set its persona, and give it a system prompt built around your life

  • Watch it retain context, remember preferences, and respond like it knows you

  • Set up heartbeats and scheduled check-ins — calendar, weather, news, inbox triage

  • Trigger browser research, file reads, and bash commands from WhatsApp

  • Build your first automation live: inbox triage, morning briefing, or research assistant

  • Understand the skills architecture — OpenClaw's plugin layer explained

  • Browse ClawHub and install community skills: Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Spotify

  • Build your own skill live — Airtable, Slack, LinkedIn, or any API you choose

  • Hot-reload skills mid-conversation and see changes take effect instantly

  • Wire up real-world services without deep engineering expertise

  • Go from idea → working integration → live on your phone in one session

  • Choose your scenario: content pipeline, client ops, productivity OS, or team bot

  • Run a full agent loop: trigger → logic → action → output to WhatsApp

  • Leave with something that works in the real world, not a demo you close

  • Multi-instance patterns: separate lobsters for work, personal, and client contexts

  • Security, sandboxing, and trust boundaries — what to expose and what not to

  • Know exactly how OpenClaw differs from n8n, Claude.ai, and traditional automation tools
