Getting started with Openclaw
Fifty builders gathered at CREATORS Space on 5 March to learn how to put Openclaw to work, guided by three experienced power users. The audience ranged from investors and consultants to business owners, all focused on deploying AI agents in practical ways.
Speakers
Usama Kenway — How to start with Openclaw and manage your social media
Usama has been running Openclaw for months. He walked the audience through his personal setup for browsing social feeds and staying current across platforms. He also shared how he regularly spins up fresh Instagram accounts to research new topics and niches — a growth and research tactic that sparked a lot of interest in the room.
Thomas Brandau — How to use local LLMs and cut token costs
Openclaw power users know how quickly a $1,000 monthly AI bill can stack up. Thomas demonstrated Clawrouter, a routing tool that sends complex tasks to a capable cloud model while offloading simpler workloads to a local LLM. This hybrid approach keeps quality high while sharply reducing token spend.
Kasper Hogrefe — How to grow your business with Openclaw
Kasper from Bildungsinitiative Deutschland showed how to move beyond convenience and use Openclaw as a revenue driver. He shared how he runs Openclaw daily to scale outreach, automate repetitive operational tasks, and systematically grow his education business.
After the talks, dozens of first-time users installed Openclaw on the spot and built their first bots before leaving the venue.
