AI Engineers Breakfast: OpenClaw x Hermes Agent Showdown @ Tesla

The two hottest open-source agent frameworks are exploding — come hear from the people building them.

OpenClaw has 345K GitHub stars and 50+ integrations — the self-hosted personal AI assistant that took the world by storm. Hermes Agent, by Nous Research, brought a breakthrough in persistent memory and self-improving skills — and sparked one of the fastest adoption curves in open-source AI history.

Two different philosophies. Two different architectures. Both worth understanding deeply.

You.com x Founders Bay are hosting an intimate breakfast at Tesla SF to explore these two projects side by side — with core contributors from both in the room.

What's on the table:
