OpenClaw Unhackathon: Hack day without the noise

This is a focused, heads-down build session for the people building with OpenClaw/ClawdBot.

If you still have “set up openclaw” on your personal backlog, here’s your chance to lock in and get things running.

Forget the pitches, the panels, and the prizes. This event is dedicated solely to shipping code, setting up infrastructure, and debugging components side-by-side with other serious builders.

Event Details

• Date: Saturday, Feb 7th, 2026
• Time: 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
• Location: Work OS office, San Francisco, CA (Address provided upon acceptance)
• Capacity: Limited to 40 builders. Attendance is curated and space is highly limited.

Enter the Unhackathon

We’re trying something new - the “Unhackathon”—  No vendors, no credits, no demos no prizes. Just come build for a few hours with fellow tinkerers.

Come hack on:

• Infrastructure: Bringing in and setup your Mac mini, configuring networking, and hardening your infra.
• Plugins & Components: Developing, integrating, and debugging specific tools, skills, components and plugins.
• Peer Debugging: Leveraging the collective expertise in the room to solve your roadblocks.

Food and drinks will be provided.

Registration & Contribution

This is not OpenClaw enthusiasts, this is OpenClaw tinkerers.

We are screening for active builders with concrete projects ready to execute. Include a note about what you want to build on the registration form.

📊 AI Tinkerers San Francisco Stats

• Attendees: This elite community of 7,317 technical professionals features a powerful distribution of skills: 48% specialize in agentic systems and multi-agent orchestration, 42% in advanced model engineering and PyTorch, and 38% in high-performance AI infrastructure and MLOps. Distinguished by a high density of venture-backed founders and researchers from top-tier labs like Google DeepMind and Meta, members actively collaborate on cutting-edge Model Context Protocol implementations and verifiable AI governance.
• Companies Represented: Featuring tech giants like Google, Meta, Apple, and Amazon, alongside AI pioneers such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and xAI, and rising startups like Replicate, Wordware, Chroma, and Vercel, and more
• Demos: 487 demos were submitted and 172 were accepted and presented. The most compelling themes covered agent-native product UX, real-time multimodal voice/vision experiences, and protocol-driven integrations (especially MCP). Technical exploration has also emphasized reliability via tracing/evals and verification, grounding via advanced retrieval/context strategies, and security-focused agent infrastructure including safe tool access, privacy controls, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
• Testimonials:

  “This is meaningful work. We don’t all recognize it but we need community and social activity... As someone exclusively working at home by myself I really really appreciate AI tinkerers. I’d love to participate again.”

  “Thank you. (Esp. Matthieu... I know that pulling off an event of this scope and quality is not easy, and that the lack of any IRL issues whatsoever, represents a tremendous behind-the-scene effort... )”

  — Founder, edtech startup

  “Very special”

  Dylan — June 10, 2026

  “It was cool having access to the kickoff replay... We should make sure there's a screen or projector where all the participants can assist the presentations live”

  — AI consultant, NLP

  “Building was epic - I and some others came looking for teams... Building types of events.”

  — ML researcher, Algoverse

  “Bright data was a wonderful host”

CopilotKit

CopilotKit is the open-source framework developers use to seamlessly integrate deeply integrated AI copilots into their React applications. It provides the essential infrastructure, including robust React components and a Multi-Copilot Protocol (MCP) server and client, to build sophisticated AI assistance. This powerful tooling enables developers to quickly add customizable, context-aware AI features, such as autocompleting textareas or full-fledged AI coding agents, significantly enhancing user experiences. We’re excited about their latest 1.5 release which enables durable, long-running agents that feel native to your product.

ElevenLabs

**ElevenLabs is a leading AI voice platform that developers use to integrate natural, expressive speech into their applications and agents. It provides high-performance text-to-speech, real-time streaming, and voice synthesis APIs that make it easy to transform raw LLM outputs into production-grade audio experiences. This powerful infrastructure enables builders to quickly add lifelike voice interfaces, conversational agents, and multimodal workflows that move beyond the chat window.

Composio

Composio is the integration layer developers use to give AI agents real-world capabilities across hundreds of tools and APIs. It provides secure, production-ready connectors and authentication flows that let agents interact with platforms like GitHub, Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, and more — without teams having to manually wire OAuth, manage tokens, or maintain brittle custom integrations. This infrastructure enables builders to quickly move from “chatbot” to fully operational agent that can read, write, trigger workflows, and take action across real systems.

Auth0

Auth0 for AI Agents is the secure authentication and authorization layer developers use to make AI-powered applications and agents trustworthy in production. It extends Auth0’s enterprise-grade identity platform with tools like Universal Login, Token Vault, fine-grained authorization, and async human approval, so agents can securely authenticate users, call APIs on their behalf, and access only permitted data with clear consent flows. This foundation enables builders to focus on innovation instead of reinventing auth, bringing secure, user-safe agent experiences to life.

OpenRouter

OpenRouter is the largest and most popular AI gateway for developers offering better prices, higher uptime, and enterprise-grade reliability while eliminating vendor lock-in. 

Vapi

Vapi Vapi is the infrastructure layer powering the next wave of voice AI products. If your hack involves real-time conversations, voice agents, or speech-driven workflows, Vapi gives you production-grade tooling so you can go from idea to working demo in hours
