This OpenClaw course begins with the fundamentals, teaching you how to deploy a proactive AI assistant that executes tasks rather than just generating text. You’ll explore the five layers of the OpenClaw architecture, the Gateway, the plugin system, the channel layer, the LLM layer, and the memory system, while learning how skills extend your agent’s capabilities without bloating every conversation.
Next, the course covers a practical setup. You’ll install OpenClaw, connect Slack and GitHub so your agent can participate in real team workflows, and schedule tasks through cron jobs and heartbeats to ensure your assistant is acting while you sleep.
Finally, you will apply these concepts through a security-first lens, learning how to control Gateway exposure, restrict who can message your agent, and manage credentials safely. Upon completion, you’ll have a fully functional OpenClaw instance running securely, connected to your apps, and automated to handle complex engineering tasks with confidence.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
