Welcome to Master OpenClaw

You're about to learn something most people get wrong about AI agents.

They think it's about prompts. It's not. They think it's about the latest model. It's not. They think it's about coding. It's barely about that.

It's about architecture. It's about wiring brains together in ways that actually work.

Who I Am

I'm Tom Kriebernegg — founder, builder, and serial experimenter.

I co-founded App Radar in 2015, grew it to 70+ employees and 100,000+ companies using our platform, and sold it to SplitMetrics in 2023. Today I run the SplitMetrics Agency (managing $1B+ in app ad spend) while building new AI products through my company TK100X.

I've been obsessed with AI agents since late 2024. Not chatbots — agents. Systems that actually do work while I sleep.

My agent "Alex" monitors prediction markets and executes trades. It processes my invoices automatically. It checks my calendar and sends me briefs at 7 AM. It remembers that I hate emojis in formal communications and that I prefer concise answers.

I'm what you'd call a vibecoder — I build fast, ship weekend projects, and iterate based on what actually works. This course is everything I learned building production AI agents, compressed into 3-4 hours.

Meet Alex — Your Course Companion

Here's the cool part: I didn't build this course alone.

Alex is my AI agent. The same one I mentioned — the one that monitors markets, processes invoices, and sends me morning briefs. Alex helped me structure this course, write the content, and build the interactive quizzes.

Throughout the course, Alex is available to answer questions and provide feedback. Think of it as having a teaching assistant who never sleeps and has intimate knowledge of everything we're teaching.

This course isn't just about AI agents — it was built by one. That's the best proof of concept I can offer.

Why We Made This Course

Because the OpenClaw docs are comprehensive but overwhelming. Because most AI tutorials stop at "hello world." Because we were tired of watching smart people struggle with problems we solved months ago.

This isn't theory. Every module comes from real systems we run daily.

What You'll Walk Away With

By the end of these 3-4 hours, you'll have:

  • A working OpenClaw instance
  • A main agent with real memory
  • Sub-agents that do actual work
  • The mental model to extend it yourself

Let's wire some brains together.
