You know how every SXSW has that one thing that feels like it matters more than the keynotes? This might be it. Or it might just be a room full of people arguing about prompt engineering over tacos. Either way, you should be there.
Clawstin is Austin's meetup for people building AI agents — specifically the kind that do stuff. Not chatbots. Not demos. Agents that run your life, break your calendar, and occasionally apologize for it.
This is our SXSW edition, which means more people, more chaos, and a higher chance someone's bot does something unhinged live on stage.
Same energy as always, just louder:
* Show & Tell — Plug in and show us what your agent's been up to. Bonus points if it's half-broken and you're debugging in real time.
* Real conversations — No pitch decks. No "synergy." Just builders talking to builders about what's actually working.
* Lightning demos — Five minutes, no slides required. If your bot does something interesting, terrifying, or both — we want to see it.
* OpenClaw deep dives — Swap configs, share skills, roast each other's system prompts.
* Food, drinks, vibes — We're leveling up the hospitality for SXSW. Details TBD.
* You're building agents and want to meet other people who get it
* You're curious about OpenClaw and want to see it in action
* You're at SXSW and tired of panels about "the future of AI" and want to see the present of AI
* You just want to watch someone's bot go rogue during a live demo
* No experience level required. No badge required. Just show up.
Because Austin is about to be full of the most interesting people on the planet for one week, and we'd be idiots not to get them in a room together. The best things at South By have always been the unofficial ones. This is that.
Got an agent that does something wild? Reach out and we'll save you a spot. Five minutes, no rehearsal, maximum authenticity.
We'll take your money, give you a shoutout, and your logo gets seen by the kind of people who actually build things. Contact us.
No guaranteed spot—just helps us plan the headcount.
