What if you could text an AI assistant on Telegram and have it answer questions, run commands, and work autonomously, all running in your own Azure subscription?

In this session, Kaan Turgut will walk you through OpenClaw, the open-source AI assistant with 60,000+ GitHub stars that's taken the developer community by storm. You'll see a full end-to-end deployment: provisioning a hardened Azure VM, installing OpenClaw, connecting it to a model deployed in Microsoft AI Foundry, and sending a live message via Telegram.
This is a demo-driven session. No death by PowerPoint.

What you'll walk away with:

How OpenClaw's Gateway + Agent architecture works
Deploying OpenClaw on an Azure VM
Deploying and configuring models in Microsoft AI Foundry
Wiring OpenClaw to your Foundry endpoint (auth, headers, config)
Real-world use cases for self-hosted AI agents

Who should attend: Developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud practitioners curious about self-hosted AI agents. No prior OpenClaw experience needed. Basic Azure familiarity is helpful.
