Jimi Smoot: Assist: Agentic Content Creation
Jimi opened the night with his agentic platform for creating consistent social media content. Rather than wrestling with prompts every time, he built a system that lets agents produce on-brand content for his company at scale; the machinery handles the consistency so the content actually ships.
His parting message was pure OpenClaw spirit: build your own version of what he demoed. The pieces are all out there. Take them and make the system yours.
Trillium Smith: Voice-Controlled Everything
Trillium spoke next, and gave the crowd a glimpse of the future: he used voice to advance his slides, and even went off-script, controlling his laptop live with nothing but speech.
It wasn't perfect, and that was part of the point. There might come a day when we look back and remember how people used to have to hit keys and click a mouse. Matt and the audience loved it.
Bobby Latif: Claude in a Real Law Practice
Bobby walked us through his process of getting an attorney set up with Claude to help with his practice; a concrete story of taking an AI system into a professional's daily workflow and making it stick.
Then the Q&A turned lively: Bobby got drilled on why he doesn't like Anthropic, and he answered without flinching, speaking critically of the founders and their AI doomer views. A crowd favorite.
Milind Potdar: Agents at Microsoft
Milind, a Product Management and Adoption leader at Microsoft, walked us through how his team uses agents in practice: adoption, product management, and Copilot.
The headline moment: OpenClaw was used as a starting point for Microsoft's new personal agent. For a meetup built around OpenClaw, hearing that the project's DNA is showing up inside Microsoft was a genuine moment.
Joseph Chicas: GovClaw: Funding from the Government
Joseph told the story of starting GovClaw and helping organizations access funding from the government. What began as a passion project has turned into a full-blown company, now helping hundreds of organizations tap into money they didn't know was accessible.
It's a case study in following genuine enthusiasm into a real business: his passion became a product, and the product became a company.

Andrew Peltekci: Announcing Kainotomic
Andrew closed out the speaker lineup with a launch: his new platform, Kainotomic. He walked through how it's set up as a one-stop shop for developers: build, publish, market, and sell your apps, all in one place.
For the builders in the room, it was the perfect note to end on: less plumbing between "I made something" and "people are using it."

Liam Broza: Companion Intelligence Announcement
