GENESIS PRESENTS: OpenClaw Hackathon

OpenClaw Hackathon — AI that actually does things. ClawdBot -> MoltBot -> OpenClaw. A hands-on, build-together afternoon for people who want to see what's possible with OpenClaw — and actually ship something that works.

This is not a traditional hackathon. No 48-hour marathons. No hardcore coding required. Instead, you'll team up with others to use OpenClaw to build automations, agents, or workflows that run in the real world. If it works by the end of the day, it counts.

Who this is for: Founders & operators, Marketers & Tech builders, Curious non-technical people, Anyone who wants to see what others are building with AI. You do not need to be technical. You do need to be curious.

Team formation: You don't need to come with a team. We'll give everyone time at the start to meet, chat, and find people they'd enjoy building with. Come solo, with an idea, or just curious — we'll help match people where needed to keep teams balanced. Teams will form on the day, mixing different skills and experience levels. No pressure. No awkwardness. Just good humans building together.

What you'll do: Form small teams (2–4 people). Don't worry if you are new. We will have mentors. Pick a real problem to solve. Use OpenClaw to build something that actually runs. Learn by doing, experimenting, and helping each other. Think: Automating something annoying, Turning info into action, Replacing a task you hate, Building something you'll actually use next week.

What to expect: Fast-paced, hands-on building. See what others are building in real time. Live OpenClaw usage (no hard demos). Casual, collaborative energy.

Show & tell: At the end, each team gets a few minutes to show what they built — no slides, just the thing running. Fun shout-outs for: Most useful build, "I can't believe that worked" moment, Best automation. Duration: ~4hrs.

Spots are limited to keep things hands-on and high-quality. Come curious. Leave with something that works.
