OpenClaw Summer Builder Bootcamp 2026

Build AI Agents People Actually Use

Most AI agents never make it past the demo stage.

Not because builders lack skill. The challenge is that there is often a gap between "it works" and "people actually use it." There is a gap between a weekend project and a real product, and between a proof of concept and something that generates real economic activity.

The OpenClaw @openclaw Summer Builder Bootcamp is designed to help close that gap. Over 8 weeks, participants will receive infrastructure support, mentorship, and a clear pathway to take an AI agent from an early-stage prototype to a product with real users.

This program is co-organized by Metis @MetisL2 , ClawUp @ClawUpAI , GOAT Network @GOATNetwork , LazAI @LazAINetwork , CryptoChicks @crypto_chicks and MindFuel @MindFuelca

Together, these partners provide infrastructure, tooling, mentorship, and ecosystem support for AI builders.

Why this program exists

We've seen countless talented builders with working demos and genuine ideas, but without the right support, those demos never become products. They stall at the infrastructure layer. They stall at the growth strategy. They stall because no one tells them what to do next.

This program is built for builders who are past the "interesting concept" stage and ready to build something that people actually use.

What sets this program apart

Compete for a $5,000 prize pool

Rewards are based on both product quality and real-world execution.

Official Builder Bootcamp Certificate

Recognition for completing a structured AI Agent build-and-ship program.

Fast-track opportunity to GOAT AI Builder Grants Stage 2

Top-performing teams may be recommended for further support and potential follow-on funding opportunities (up to $1M for high-traction projects).

Long-term builder visibility

Join a growing ecosystem of builders working on AI Agents, infrastructure, and real-world applications.

What you'll do

This is a build-first, ship-first program. You are expected to actively execute across the product, infrastructure, and growth domains.

Build and launch an AI Agent on ClawUp

Turn your idea into a working product that solves a real problem and can be used by real users.

Integrate core infrastructure

Connect x402 payments and ERC-8004 identity systems to make your agent functional in real economic workflows.

Learn distribution and growth in real time

Understand how AI agents get discovered, used, and shared, including GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategies for AI-native visibility.

Publish and distribute your product publicly

Create content, documentation, and product assets that help your agent be discovered across AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.

Acquire real users and validate demand

Your goal is not just to build — it is to acquire real users, drive usage, and test whether your agent solves a real market need.

Present your work at Demo Day

Show your product, usage, and learnings to ecosystem builders, mentors, and invited reviewers.

Who we're looking for

This program is designed for builders who want to ship real products,

not just experiments.

You should apply if you are:

● Building AI Agents with real-world use cases in mind

● Ready to ship and iterate based on user feedback

● Interested in product, distribution, and real usage — not just demos

● Looking to turn ideas into validated products

  • U.S. Bans Foreign Access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5; Anthropic Issues Detailed Rebuttal

    On June 13, Anthropic issued a statement announcing that the U.S. government, citing national security powers, has released an export control directive requiring the suspension of all access to the AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by foreign entities, regardless of whether the individuals are within the U.S., including Anthropic employees who are foreign nationals. The practical effect of this order is that we must immediately disable access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Anthropic models will not be affected. We received the government's directive at 5:21 PM (Eastern Time) today. The letter did not specify the details of its national security concerns. Our understanding is that the government believes it has become aware of a method to bypass or 'jailbreak' Fable 5. So far, the government has only provided us with verbal evidence suggesting the existence of a potential narrow, non-general jailbreak, essentially by requiring the model to read specific code libraries and fix any software defects. We are complying with the government's legitimate directive and are in the process of removing all users' access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5. However, we disagree with the conclusion that 'a narrow potential jailbreak vulnerability should be the reason to recall commercial models deployed to hundreds of millions of users.' (Jinshi)

  • Iranian Foreign Minister: Iran-U.S. Memorandum of Understanding May Be Signed in Days

    On June 13, Iranian media reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian stated that once the final stage of negotiations between Iran and the U.S. is completed, the memorandum of understanding will be signed and announced immediately.

  • U.S. Officials: U.S. and Iran Close to Agreement, Signing Expected in Coming Days

    On June 13, Reuters reported that a senior U.S. official stated on Friday local time that the U.S. and Iran have not yet truly reached the finish line, but are very close to finalizing an agreement to resolve their conflicts. Washington expects to sign the agreement in the coming days. 'The negotiating team has put us in a very favorable position, but we still need to see, we haven't really reached the finish line, but we are very close,' the U.S. official said. The official noted that the agreed terms achieve a core goal of Trump. The memorandum of understanding includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of U.S. blockades on Iranian ports. Iran's highly enriched uranium will also be destroyed on-site and subsequently removed from the country. 'Iran will not gain anything from signing the memorandum or from the negotiations themselves,' the official said. 'They will receive economic rewards for fulfilling the obligations set forth in the agreement. Therefore, if they commit to handing over nuclear materials, they will gain something. If they dismantle their nuclear program or facilities, they will receive additional benefits.'

  • Iran's Foreign Ministry: Iran is Reviewing Draft Memorandum of Understanding

    On June 13, local time on the 12th, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei stated that Iran and the United States have reached an understanding on most issues, and Iran is currently in the final stages of compiling the text of the memorandum of understanding. Therefore, the previous statement by Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian that 'the two sides are very close to reaching an understanding' is accurate and noteworthy. Meetings of relevant decision-making bodies are ongoing, and this is a process that is being continuously advanced. To achieve a final and decisive outcome, consensus must be formed among decision-making bodies and relevant departments. Baghaei also mentioned that various speculations regarding the content of the agreement text have not been confirmed. Although specific details of the diplomatic process cannot be publicly discussed at this time, this does not mean that the public does not have the right to be informed. (CCTV News)
