GeminiWe run self-hosted agents, not just in theory.
Most OpenClaw trainings are run by people who cloned the repo the night before. At Hack'celeration it's the opposite: a contained Gateway, vetted ClawHub skills, wired MCP servers, scoped multi-agent routing, that's our daily agency work. Everything we teach you, we practice on agents we run for real. We know the traps (the exposed Gateway, the too-broad permissions that become a breach) because we've already solved them.
- We run self-hosted agents ourselves every week, not just in theory
- 1-on-1 format: the trainer adapts to your level, beginner or seasoned dev
- We tell you when OpenClaw isn't the right call (sometimes a managed assistant is enough)
- We start from your real infra and your actual workflows, not a dummy example
Four pillars so your agent is yours and contained.
A badly set up OpenClaw is either a repo cloned then abandoned, or a Gateway exposed on the open internet. Most of the trouble comes from the config and the scope, not the tool. We pick up your real setup and work through the four pillars together.
- Self-hosting
OpenClaw on your infra, your data stays yours
OpenClaw runs on your hardware, not someone else's cloud, and that's the whole point: your data never leaves. We teach you to run openclaw onboard the right way, stand up the Gateway, set the per-agent workspace (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, USER.md), pick the LLM backend that fits (Claude, GPT, Gemini, or a local model via Ollama), and lock down the agentDir so a self-hosted agent is an asset, not an exposed instance on the open internet.

Skills wired to your real work, not demos
The leverage is an agent that owns a task end to end, not a chatbot that forgets you when the tab closes. We show you how to pick from the ClawHub registry, vet what you install with clawhub instead of trusting it blindly, and write your own custom skills. With multi-agent routing, each persona gets its own scope, session store and tools, so the agent that reads your calendar can't touch the one that runs shell commands.

Connected to Slack, Telegram and your tools
OpenClaw is most useful when it lives where your team already talks. We show you how to connect it to the messaging channels you use (Slack, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Signal), one scoped bot per agent, and wire the MCP servers it needs to read your real systems. With openclaw mcp serve you can even drive it from Claude over a WebSocket bridge, so the agent reaches your stack instead of being a silo.

Broad permissions, kept on a short leash
OpenClaw can read files, run shell commands and chain skills without a human checking every step, which is exactly why misconfigured instances have drawn security scrutiny. We teach you to scope what each agent can touch, gate the dangerous actions behind approval, keep the Gateway off the open internet, and document your guardrails so broad access never turns into a breach.

Meet our trainers, leave with a plan.
Drop your email. We get back to you to connect you with a Hack'celeration-certified trainer: we look at your infra and your OpenClaw setup, spot what's worth handing to an agent, and tell you where to start. No commitment, even if you don't take the training.
- A diagnosis of your infra (hardware, channels, security posture)
- The self-host and guardrails to wire first
- The right 1-on-1 format for your level and your workflows
- An honest take: OpenClaw or a managed tool for your case
Your OpenClaw Training, step by step.
Five steps, no skipping. Each one on your real infra, with a clear deliverable. From the first session we map what's worth handing to an agent. By the end, you keep your self-hosted agent on a short leash without us.
- Step 1 · Fit & security audit
We map your infra and what's worth handing to an agent
First session, we share your screen and look at your stack together. Which tasks are repetitive? Which messages get answered the same way every time? What hardware do you have to self-host? We map your channels and your security posture. You leave with a clear diagnosis: where a self-hosted OpenClaw agent genuinely helps, and where a managed tool or a plain automation is the saner call. No theory, your real context.
- Step 2 · Safe self-hosting
We stand up OpenClaw so it's yours and stays contained
We teach you to run openclaw onboard, stand up the Gateway on your infra, set the workspace and agentDir, and pick the LLM backend that fits (Claude, GPT, Gemini, or local via Ollama). Then we scope permissions and gate the dangerous actions (shell, file writes, integrations) behind approval, and keep the Gateway off the open internet. By the end of the step, your agent is self-hosted, locked down, and you know why each guardrail is there.
- Step 3 · Build skills & routed agents
Skills for the work that eats the week
We pick vetted skills from the ClawHub registry and build the ones your work needs, then split them across routed agents. Each persona has only the tools and permissions it should: the agent that drafts replies in Slack isn't the one allowed to run shell commands. You practice on your own cases, not a dummy example. You finish with skills ready and a clean multi-agent routing setup.
- Step 4 · Channels & MCP
We connect OpenClaw to your channels and MCP servers
This is where OpenClaw earns its place. We connect it to the channels your team already uses (Slack, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Signal), one scoped bot per agent, and wire the MCP servers it needs to reach your real systems. With openclaw mcp serve you drive routed conversations from Claude over a WebSocket bridge. Everything ships with its permissions and logging from day one, so you can see what the agent did and why.
- Step 5 · Autonomy
You keep your agent on a short leash without us
The number one goal: you become autonomous. By the end of the program, you know how to self-host the Gateway, scope permissions, wire a skill, route several agents and connect your channels and MCP servers. The guardrails live in your workspace files, so the setup survives a new hire. And if you want to delegate later, we also run an OpenClaw agency, but that's not the point here.
Why train 1-on-1 with us.
- 300+Pros already trained on AI and automation
More than 300 people have gone through our trainings across France and Europe. Ops teams, devs, small-business founders. Not vanity numbers: people who stood up a contained self-hosted agent and wired it into their real tools.
- 4.7/5Rating across 334 verified reviews
Average rating of 4.7 out of 5, across 334 reviews. We won't promise it's all magic: you have to do the work on your own infra. But the 1-on-1 format makes the difference on something as sensitive as an agent that touches your shell.
- 1:1A dedicated expert, not a class of 100
You're not a number in a webinar. A trainer opens your real OpenClaw setup, looks at your Gateway and permissions, and works through your actual cases. We schedule sessions around your availability, replays included.

The questions we get the most.
What is a 1-on-1 OpenClaw training?
An individual program with an OpenClaw expert, not a class of 100 people. We open your real setup, look at your Gateway and permissions, and work through your actual cases: self-hosting, skills, MCP servers, channels, multi-agent routing. You ask your questions live, the trainer adapts the pace to your level. We schedule sessions around your availability, and you leave with concrete actions every time. That's what makes the difference on an agent that touches your shell and your files.How much does the OpenClaw training cost?
There is no single price. We connect you with a trainer certified by Hack'celeration, matched to your need and your level. It varies from one trainer to another, based on their profile and the format that fits your project.Is OpenClaw safe to self-host?
Only if it's set up that way, and that's a big part of what we teach. OpenClaw needs broad permissions to be useful, and cybersecurity researchers have flagged that misconfigured or exposed instances are a real privacy risk. We teach you to scope what each agent can touch, gate shell commands, file writes and integrations behind approval, keep the Gateway off the open internet, and document it. We wire the guardrails first, then the agent does useful work inside them.What can OpenClaw skills do, and where do they come from?
Skills are how OpenClaw does real work: read and write files, run shell commands, drive a browser, schedule cron jobs, and chain steps together. There's a large ClawHub registry of community skills, and you install them with clawhub. In the training we teach you to vet what you install rather than trusting every community skill blindly, and to write the custom skills your work needs when the registry doesn't cover it. Each skill is scoped to the agent that should have it, nothing more.Can you connect OpenClaw to Slack, Telegram and our tools?
Yes, and it's one of the big parts of the training. OpenClaw connects to the messaging channels your team already uses (Slack, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Signal), one scoped bot per agent. For your tools and data, we teach you to wire the MCP servers it needs to read your real systems, and to set up openclaw mcp serve so you drive routed conversations from Claude over a WebSocket bridge. The goal is an agent that reaches your stack, not a silo your team forgets.What is multi-agent routing and do we need it?
Multi-agent routing lets you run several agents, each with its own workspace (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md), auth profiles, model registry and session store under its own agentDir. It matters for security as much as scale: the agent that reads your calendar doesn't inherit the permissions of the one that runs shell commands. Whether you need it depends on the work. For one simple task, a single agent is enough. For several personas with different access, routing keeps them properly separated. In training we set up what fits your case.Do I need to be very technical to take the OpenClaw training?
A bit of technical logic helps, because OpenClaw lives on the command line and touches your infra, but the 1-on-1 format is built exactly for that: we start from your exact level. Beginner, we go step by step through onboard, the Gateway and the first permissions. Seasoned dev, we jump straight to custom skills, routing and MCP servers. We don't leave you with a doc and good luck: we work on your real infra until you're autonomous.Is OpenClaw always the right tool for us?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. OpenClaw is a self-hosted agent you have to host, secure and maintain, which is great when data control and customization matter, and overkill when a managed assistant or a plain automation would do the job with less risk. In training we'll tell you honestly when it's the right fit and when it isn't. If a simpler tool serves you better, we'd rather say so than teach you to babysit an agent you don't need.Is the training online or in person?
100% online, over video, 1-on-1. You join the sessions from anywhere, we share your screen and your OpenClaw setup live. Sessions are recorded if you want to revisit them. The individual format means real interaction: you're not a number in a webinar of 100, the trainer answers your questions about your Gateway, your skills and your routing. That's what makes learning concrete on a tool as sharp as a self-hosted agent.
