Build your own OpenClaw-like AI agent from scratch using the Vercel AI SDK, Composio, Supermemory, Telegram, and Vercel Cron.

In this free full course, you'll start with the Vercel AI SDK Chatbot template, connect your agent to real apps like Gmail with Composio, add long-term memory with Supermemory, give the agent a persistent personality, make it usable from Telegram, and add scheduled automations with Vercel Cron.

By the end, you'll understand the core building blocks behind production AI agents: tool calling, context engineering, OAuth, memory, auth, database migrations, multi-channel agent interfaces, scheduled jobs, and deployment.
