What is Raise Your Lobster?

You've got OpenClaw running. But it still feels like a chatbot, not an assistant. This evening covers the five key steps to change that — from giving your agent a personality to automating tasks while you sleep.

Who is this for?

  • You installed OpenClaw but it doesn't feel useful yet
  • You want to see how others configured their agents
  • You're stuck on something and want community help
  • You want to turn a chatbot into a daily driver

What you'll get

  • Concrete next steps for your own OpenClaw
  • Inspiration from real setups and workflows
  • Live debugging help from experienced users
  • Connections with the OpenClaw community in NRW

5 Topics to Raise Your Lobster

From freshly installed to genuinely useful.

1

Craft your SOUL.md

Give your agent a personality, tone, and boundaries. The single most important file. 162+ community templates to start from.

2

Install your first Skills

ClawHub has 5,400+ skills. You need 3–5 to start. Web browsing, email, Google Workspace — instant impact.

3

Cron Jobs & Heartbeat

This is where a chatbot becomes an agent. Daily briefs, email digests, automated follow-ups — all without you prompting.

4

Use the Memory System

Do a brain dump. Let your agent learn about you over weeks. Projects, preferences, contacts — it remembers everything.

5

Secure your Gateway

The default is wide open. Change it to localhost, run a security audit, keep it personal. Short, critical, often overlooked.

FAQ

Do I need to have OpenClaw installed?

Not required, but recommended. You'll get more out of the evening if you already have a running agent. Check out our Installationstag if you need help getting started.

Do I need coding experience?

No. Several topics specifically cover how to configure OpenClaw without programming. The community is happy to help beginners.

What should I bring?

Your laptop if you want to follow along or show your setup. Otherwise, just curiosity and questions.

Is this event in English or German?

The event language depends on the audience. We default to German but switch to English when needed.
