OpenClaw

Building an OpenClaw IT Assistant

Stop chatting with AI. Start working with it. Go from curious to fully operational, with a self-hosted AI agent running 24/7 on hardware you own, showing up in the apps you already use, and actually remembering who you are. Install everything from scratch, configure it without skipping the parts that matter, and walk away with a personalized assistant that fits your workflow and sticks around between sessions.

Course description

Build a Personal AI Assistant That Actually Remembers You

Write your awesome label here.
Your First AI Agent, Built the Right Way
Walk you through building a self-hosted, always-on AI agent using OpenClaw, a platform with 308,000 GitHub stars and a reputation for being powerful, personal, and surprisingly easy to get wrong without the right guide.

Start with an honest breakdown of what OpenClaw is. It isn't AI.

From there, you'll tackle the hardware question directly. Do you need a Mac mini? You'll also learn Markdown as the practical backbone of AI-assisted workflows.

The technical setup is covered step by step. Finish up with something most tutorials skip entirely: configuring your agent's personality. You'll give it a name, define its role, and set exactly how you want it to communicate with you.

By the end, you have a working OpenClaw installation, a personalized AI agent connected to your phone, and the understanding to keep building on it.

Jeremy Cioara

Hello! If we haven’t met before, my name is Jeremy Cioara. I stepped into the training world back in 1998, teaching a group of phone technicians at US West Communications about this new technology called DSL. I was 19 years old.

Things have come a long way since then… and yet some things never change: I’m still passionate about seeing others light up when what was once a confusing, discouraging topic suddenly clicks. What’s even more exciting these days is that I now bring the experience of building a company (Veeya) that actually does the stuff I teach! I’m stepping back into the virtual classroom with a renewed passion for bringing the real world into my training. Yes—there’s so much more to being successful in technology than… technology!

And yes, my friend, I still say, “I hope this has been informative for you, and I’d like to thank you for viewing.”

Practice Real Skills in Real Environments

You’ve GOT to check out our CCNA virtual labs! They're designed to make networking feel alive and achievable, right from your screen. You’ll be stepping in as the network administrator of Castle Rysen Coffee, deploying Cisco network environments for the future of mankind! Here’s what to expect:

Real-World Feel:
We're using genuine Cisco software, giving you hands-on practice with routers, switches, and configs that really mirror what you'll encounter. No more wondering if it’s your problem or the simulator malfunctioning.
Course Integration:
We've spliced these labs directly into the course interface, so as soon as we demo a concept on video, you can immediately try it yourself!
Build Confidence Fast:
Break things, fix them, experiment freely in a safe space. It's all about turning "I get it" into "I can do this" while we're on this journey together.
