Beginner ⏱ 30 min

AI Agents 101 Start Here

What AI agents actually are, how they think, how they act, and why they're the future of software. Zero jargon. Full clarity.

Beginner ⏱ 30 min

Introduction to OpenClaw

A deep-dive into the OpenClaw ecosystem — architecture, components, philosophy, and how it all connects into a unified agent platform.

Beginner ⏱ 30 min

Installing OpenClaw

Full installation walkthrough across Mac, Linux, and Windows. VPS setup included. You'll have OpenClaw running before the lesson ends.

Beginner ⏱ 30 min

Docker Basics for AI Engineers

Containers, images, volumes, and networks — explained for the AI builder, not the DevOps engineer. Build your first containerized agent.

Beginner ⏱ 30 min

Prompt Engineering Fundamentals

System prompts, instruction hierarchy, chain-of-thought, and the patterns that separate amateur prompts from engineering-grade ones.

Beginner ⏱ 30 min

Running Local LLMs

Ollama, LM Studio, and OpenClaw integrations. Run Llama, Mistral, and Gemma locally — private, fast, and under your full control.

Intermediate ⏱ 30 min

Multi-Agent Systems

Orchestrators, sub-agents, parallel execution, and communication protocols. Build pipelines where multiple agents collaborate on one task.

Intermediate ⏱ 30 min

API Integrations

REST, webhooks, authentication flows, rate limiting, and connecting your agents to real external services — Slack, Notion, Airtable, and more.

Intermediate ⏱ 30 min

Agent Memory Systems

Short-term context, long-term vector storage, semantic retrieval, and building agents that actually remember across sessions.

Intermediate ⏱ 30 min

Secure Agent Design

Principle of least privilege, tool call validation, output sanitization, and building agents that don't become a liability when deployed.

Intermediate ⏱ 30 min

VPS Deployment

Take your agents live. Full VPS provisioning, NGINX reverse proxy, SSL certificates, systemd services, and production monitoring basics.

Intermediate ⏱ 30 min

AI Business Automation

End-to-end automation pipelines for real business workflows — lead gen, content, support, reporting, and beyond. Build things clients will pay for.

Advanced ⏱ 30 min

Red Teaming AI Agents

Attack your own systems before adversaries do. Structured red team methodology, jailbreak patterns, and adversarial testing frameworks.

Advanced ⏱ 30 min

Prompt Injection Defense

Classify, detect, and block prompt injection at every layer — system prompt, tool call, memory retrieval, and user input validation.

Advanced ⏱ 30 min

Sandboxing Techniques

Docker isolation, filesystem restrictions, network segmentation, and resource throttling for agents running in production environments.

Advanced ⏱ 30 min

Scaling Agent Infrastructure

Load balancing, horizontal scaling, queue-based task distribution, and observability stacks for production AI agent clusters.

Advanced ⏱ 30 min

AI Security Engineering Capstone

The Level 5 capstone. Design a complete threat model for an AI system, conduct a security audit, and defend your recommendations.

the ClawAcademy Curriculum

★★★★★

"I've done Coursera, Udemy, and YouTube tutorials. Nothing structured my AI agent knowledge like this. The certification felt like it meant something. I put Claw Engineer on my LinkedIn the day I got it."

Marcus K.

Claw Engineer · Freelance AI Developer

★★★★★

"The Security Specialist track is no joke. Red Teaming AI Agents alone changed how I think about building systems. This isn't a course — it's a discipline."

Sofia R.

Claw Security Specialist · Automation Consultant

★★★★★

"Thirty minutes per lesson sounds too short until you realize how much they pack in. Every single module I shipped something real by the end. That's the difference."

FAQ

Common Questions

No. ClawAcademy requires zero accounts, no login, and no personal dashboard. You access lessons directly, complete the quiz via Google Forms, and your certificate is auto-generated and emailed to you. We built it lean on purpose.

ClawAcademy certificates are issued by the official OpenClaw / AaronWiseAI institution. They're personalized PDF documents generated automatically upon quiz completion. As the ecosystem grows, so does the credential value. You're getting in early — that's the Founders advantage.

You can retake the quiz as many times as needed. We want you to actually learn the material — that's the point. The passing score exists to maintain the credential's integrity, not to gatekeep you. Review the lesson, re-attempt, and earn it.

The Beginner track starts at zero assumptions. If you can install software and follow instructions, AI Agents 101 is your starting point. By Level 3 (Claw Engineer) you'll be working with Docker, APIs, and multi-agent systems — the curriculum builds you up correctly.

Founders Access gives you every course across all three tracks — beginner, intermediate, and advanced — plus all five certification levels for one annual price. Every new course added to ClawAcademy is included at no extra charge. The $67 price is the lowest it will ever be — it increases to $97 at official launch.

Yes. You have 30 days from purchase. If you go through the material and feel it didn't deliver engineering-grade value, email us and we'll refund you completely. No hoops, no questionnaires.

Yes. Phase 2 of ClawAcademy includes live build sessions, interactive challenges, progress dashboards, and specialization tracks. Founders Access members get priority access and locked pricing as these features roll out.
