Moltathon ATX

AITX Community, Hack AI, Organized AI and Applied AI Society are co-hosting Moltathon ATX. We're bringing together builders from across Austin's AI ecosystem to learn and build with Openclaw AI. OpenClaw is brand new. It's open source, it's powerful, and honestly it's still the wild west out there. The docs are deep, the community is growing fast, and people are already building some crazy stuff with it — but there's so much unexplored territory. So we're doing what we do best: bringing the community together to figure it out. This hackathon is about learning OpenClaw together, breaking things, building cool stuff, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible when you give an AI agent access to your phone, your browser, and your terminal. Whether you're an experienced builder or you've never touched OpenClaw before, you'll leave this event knowing how to set up and deploy your own AI agent. We'll have workshop sessions Friday evening to get everyone up to speed before the building starts. Tracks SalesMolty: Build the best sales agent using Linkt API. Winner of this track earns $500. Skillsmaxxing Build skills that make OpenClaw agents smarter. Think security guardrails, metaprompting, optimization techniques — anything that levels up what an agent can do. Best Deployment Tool Make it dead simple to set up and deploy an OpenClaw bot. The easier the better. If your grandma could deploy it, you're on the right track. Automate Your Life Build an agent that actually replaces something you do manually. Work stuff, personal stuff, business stuff — if it saves real time, it counts. Side Quests On top of the main tracks, we'll have bonus prizes up for grabs: Platform / Product Molts — Build something for the OpenClaw ecosystemMake Me Laugh — Funniest hack winsBest Skill — Cleanest, most useful skillBest Rig — Coolest setup or hardware integrationBest Plugin — Best OpenClaw pluginFirst Blood — First team to submit a working demo Friday Evening: Workshops We're kicking off Friday with hands-on sessions to get everyone on the same page: Setup OpenClaw & WTF Is It — From zero to running. What OpenClaw actually is, how it works, and getting your first agent up and responding to messages.Example Openclaw Agent — Walk through setting up a personal assistant / junior dev agent you can actually text from your phone.Security Best Practices — What to watch out for, how to lock things down, and how not to accidentally give the internet access to your terminal.
