DETAILS

A builder-first hackathon + unconference for OpenClaw. Cohosted by AI Tinkerers & JellyJelly at Betaworks
ClawHack New York is a full-day, in-person OpenClaw builder event for people actively working with OpenClaw.

This is equal parts hackathon & unconference. Most of the day is heads-down building. Throughout the day, the community runs short talks, demos, & workshops to unblock each other & share real-world OpenClaw learnings.

If you are building something interesting, you can lead a session.
If you want to give a talk or demo, you can apply to do that here.

At the end of the day, teams submit what they built for an onstage demo session with prizes.

This is a day to disappear into the work.

What this is
A long-form builder day centered on OpenClaw.

You can:

Come with an existing project (just need to explain what pre-existing you've brought)
Form a team on site
Start something new from scratch
The goal is simple: make real progress & ship something concrete by the end of the day.

Every ~90 minutes, we pause briefly for a short community-led session. These are practical, lightweight, & builder-run.

You can propose & lead one of these sessions.
Talks, walkthroughs, demos, & quick panels are all welcome.

This is not a spectator event.
This is an OpenClaw tinkerer event.

Prizes
We'll give out a community prize for the most creative or most useful OpenClaw use case, selected by the judges.

A Mac mini felt appropriate, given how many people are actually running OpenClaw today.

This is not a pitch competition. It's a way to surface & celebrate strong technical work.

Who this is for
This event is for:

Developers actively building with OpenClaw
Engineers experimenting with autonomous agents
Builders who want a full day to go deep instead & learn!
If you're looking to watch from the sidelines, this is probably not the right event.
