About the Session
The AI landscape is evolving toward autonomous agents that can run on local hardware while leveraging cloud-based intelligence. Technologies such as Claude Cowork and Google Workspace Studio enable AI to be grounded in users’ local data and address their specific daily work needs. More recently we have witnessed the explosive adoption of OpenClaw, a versatile open-source framework that is already spawning a new wave of personal agentic AI technologies (e.g. NVIDIA NemoClaw).
Join us to learn how OpenClaw and other frameworks go beyond basic chat to execute complex tasks—interacting with local file systems, managing APIs, and running continuous, autonomous workflows relevant to your personal tasks and workloads.
