AI Jam: Why and How I Made The Journey From OpenClaw to Building My Own Bot
Automating social media with AI sounds like a dream, until your bot goes rogue, hallucinating posts and breaking workflows where every small win uncovers three more headaches. Join Kevin Kaminski as he unpacks the honest reality of working with OpenClaw: the pitfalls, the fragile breakthroughs, and why building from scratch often beats fighting an off-the-shelf framework. Those hard-earned lessons pivot into live code, building a dedicated social media agent from the ground up to monitor web content, publish updates, and reliably manage multi-channel feeds. We'll cover the OpenClaw post-mortem, the architecture of a focused and reliable bot, content pipelines for web monitoring and channel dispatching, and an honest scorecard of successes, friction points, and edge cases. Heads-up: this session dives into architecture and live code; a foundational understanding of APIs, scripting, and modern AI tooling will help. Who should come: builders wrestling with agent frameworks, developers automating content pipelines, indie hackers, and anyone curious about the unvarnished reality of running autonomous bots in production.
