Day 1

Week 1 · Sat Apr 11, 2026 · 1:00 PM PDT

One-click deployment on Alibaba Cloud + Telegram

View Details

Goal Have a fully working OpenClaw agent running 24/7 in the cloud, chatting via Telegram.

1Sign up / log in at alibabacloud.com (use non-China region).
2Follow the official one-click tutorial: purchase the OpenClaw pre-installed image.
3In the console → Application Details → Execute the three commands.
4Telegram integration: Create bot with @BotFather, paste token into OpenClaw config.
5Live test: Message your bot → "Tell me about yourself".

HomeworkKeep the instance running overnight and note your bot username.

Day 2

Week 2 · Sat Apr 18, 2026 · 1:00 PM PDT

Local install + free cloud LLMs + full Slack integration

View Details

Goal Run OpenClaw locally with free cloud models; chat with the same agent via Telegram and Slack (Socket Mode).

1Recap: Review Day 1 cloud instance (you can stop it to save credits).
2Install locally: curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash, then openclaw onboard and finish Telegram in the wizard.
3Safety: Never paste bot tokens or API keys in group chat. Prefer read-only access when trying new skills.
4Add free LLM — Groq: get a key at console.groq.com/keys, set model groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile.
5Slack: Create a Slack app with Socket Mode. Add Bot Token (xoxb-…) and App-Level Token (xapp-…), configure channels.slack in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json per docs.openclaw.ai/channels/slack, then openclaw restart.
6Test: DM or @mention the bot in Slack and in Telegram — same agent. Optionally compare with your Day 1 cloud bot.

HomeworkAdd a second free fallback model (e.g. Gemini) in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, or map another Slack channel.

Day 3

Week 3 · Sat Apr 25, 2026 · 1:00 PM PDT

NVIDIA free Kimi K2.5 + smart fallbacks + memory & personalization

View Details

Goal Add the powerful free Kimi K2.5 and configure automatic fallbacks.

1Recap: Test Day 2 local setup.
2NVIDIA free Kimi setup: Get API key at build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys, add as custom provider, set model moonshotai/kimi-k2.5.
3Configure smart fallbacks: Kimi primary → Groq fallback → Gemini fallback.
4Run openclaw restart and stress-test; watch automatic model switching when rate-limited.
5Personalization: Edit MEMORY.md, SOUL.md, and IDENTITY; teach preferences with a few "remember this" prompts.

HomeworkTry adding one more NVIDIA model (e.g. GLM-4.7 or Qwen3).

Day 4

Week 4 · Sat May 2, 2026 · 1:00 PM PDT

Skills expansion (Cal.com, Google Calendar, Gog, etc.) + security

View Details

Goal Expand with Cal.com, Google Calendar, and Gog-style skills — with tight security.

1Recap: Quick poll — local vs. cloud; preview today’s skill goals.
2Scheduling stack: On clawhub.com install calendar / Cal.com / scheduling skills; connect Google Calendar where applicable; test natural-language availability.
3Google Workspace: Add the Gog (or similar) skill if time allows — OAuth scopes and least privilege.
4Security: Token hygiene, channel permissions, what never to paste in Slack, rotating keys.
5Lab: End-to-end prompt — e.g. "What's on my calendar Tuesday afternoon?" across installed skills.

HomeworkHarden permissions on one integration; document your skill list for capstone next week.

Day 5

Week 5 · Sat May 9, 2026 · 1:00 PM PDT

Capstone + long-term ops + showcase & final Q&A

View Details

Goal Present your capstone, learn long-term maintenance, and close with Q&A.

1Capstone demos: Short student presentations (scheduling, research, or custom workflow).
2Long-term ops: Cron / heartbeat, cloud vs. local cost, monitoring, when to pause instances.
3Showcase & final Q&A; share bot handles (safely); preview voice and advanced topics for self-study.
4Celebrate progress — next steps for ClawHub, community, and alumni Slack.

HomeworkUse your agent daily for 7 more days; post one win in Slack.
