What is it?
Hello Claw is a structured learning course for OpenClaw, a command-line AI assistant system. It is organized into three parts: a usage guide covering installation, chat platform integration, model management, multi-agent setup, scheduled tasks, gateway operations and security; a scenario collection showing practical Skills workflows such as email handling, calendar management, CI/CD assistance and documentation generation; and a development section that dissects OpenClaw's architecture, including its reasoning loop, prompt system, tool system, message handling and gateway, and then covers building custom Skills.
The course is aimed at people with no programming background who want an always-available assistant reachable through apps like Feishu, QQ or Telegram, as well as developers who want to understand agent architecture or build their own variant. It also surveys lightweight, hardened and hardware-oriented alternatives to OpenClaw.
