AI Tinkerers x Byteplus: Arkclaw Workshop

๐ฆ Arkclaw Onboarding & Openclaw Beginner Workshop
Are you tired of jumping between browser tabs just to talk to your AI? Itโs time to bring the intelligence to where you actually live: your messaging apps.
Join us for a hands-on, deep-dive workshop into OpenClaw, the open-source personal AI assistant that runs on any OS and connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Discord. Weโll also explore ArkClaw, the newly launched managed service from BytePlus, designed to take the infrastructure headache out of the equation.
๐ Event Details
Date: Tuesday, 5th May 2026
Time: 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM (Lunch Included!)
Location: Kuala Lumpur
๐ What Weโre Building
OpenClaw: The โAnywhereโ Assistant
OpenClaw is your private, always-on AI. Instead of a standalone app, it integrates directly into your daily workflow. Install it once, connect it to an LLM provider (like BytePlus), and suddenly your AI is reachable via a simple Telegram message or Slack ping.
ArkClaw: Managed Power by BytePlus
Launched in March 2026, ArkClaw is the cloud-native, managed version of OpenClaw running on BytePlus (ByteDanceโs cloud platform). It offers:
Zero Infrastructure: No server management or local installs.
Deep Integration: Native hooks into Lark and WhatsApp.
Persistent Context: Advanced workflow handling, file management, and scheduled tasks.
