Build By Doing-Riding Together

In an agentic AI economy, slowing down isn’t an option.
But we can calm down and get things right as the world speeds up.

CLAWBOYS is an officially licensed Foundry (#002) of the Human+Agent League (HAL).
It is an officially licensed IRL training node of HAL, where humans learn to build with AI agents in real rooms, with real people, in a culture designed for trust, creativity, and responsible innovation.

Built in the Wild West. Designed for everywhere.

What is CLAWBOYS?

A recruitment poster for the Clawboys, an extraterrestrial-themed team based in Wyoming/Colorado. The poster features a central robotic figure with a cowboy hat, flanked by a man with a cowboy hat, an older man with a star cap and headphones, and a woman with blonde hair. The background depicts a city skyline and a starry sky, with the Clawboys logo prominently displayed, featuring robotic claws. The poster invites people to join the local foundry and become founding operators, with the website clawboys.ai.

  • AI moves faster than humans can keep up. Tools compound daily. The real constraint becomes trust, governance, and the ability to verify what is real.

    CLAWBOYS Foundry exists to prove something different:

    When we design environments where people feel grounded, welcomed, empowered, and connected, innovation accelerates without losing its soul.

    We build with urgency. We move with care. We ship what matters. We do it together.

  • Culture always comes before code.

    WY/CO is known for something rare: A #GiveFirst ethos and a rugged history of leading innovation from giving women the right to vote before anyone else, to inventing the LLC, and passing dozens of digital asset laws before any other state or federal legislature.

    The corridor from Denver/Boulder/Longmont/FortCollins/Laramie has been building a highly engaged and dense startup ecosystem for decades now.

    As the second official Foundry, that tradition continues, and with HAL, the format is exportable: every Foundry runs the same core standards, with local flavor layered on top.

  • This is not a conference.
    It’s not a pitch night.
    It’s not a networking event where everyone scans for advantage.

    It’s a build gathering, a build-a-thon.

    People (technical and non-technical) bring ideas. Agents assist. Strangers become collaborators. Momentum compounds.

    You leave with progress, partners, something real to demo, and a clearer view of how to build responsibly as the world changes fast.

  • Whether we agree with it or like it, the future will be automated. Human trust will not.

    CLAWBOYS Foundry is physical on purpose.

    When humans and agents collaborate in the same room:

    • Ethics and issues become visible

    • Responsibility becomes shared

    • Alignment becomes faster

    • The room becomes the safety layer

    We are prototyping how society builds with AI together before someone else decides for us.

  • The internet trained us to react.

    CLAWBOYS Foundry trains us to respond and ask better questions.

    No frenzy.
    No performative hustle.
    No artificial urgency.

    Just clear thinking, strong collaboration, and steady forward motion.

    Calm is not poetic here. Calm is enforced by format: timeboxes, checklists, and a “ship something real” finish.

  • Like the frontier spirit that forged us, CLAWBOYS rides on HAL’s arena and global backing as AI innovation and protocols have hit compounding escape velocity..

    HAL Never Sleeps. The League Rides Every Thursday with us around the globe at 8pm local time.

    Thursday nights are the standing weekly rodeo across Foundries worldwide. At CLAWBOYS Foundry, that means:

    • dependable roundups
    • familiar builders, new riders, and agents to break in.
    • gates open for fresh wranglers
    • steady wins you can count on

    Consistency tames chaos. Trust holds the reins. Community wins the ride

  • BUILDERS, OPERATORS, INVESTORS, FOUNDERS, STUDENTS, RESEARCHERS, CIVIC LEADERS, PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, CREATORS, DEVELOPERS, OR ANYONE CURIOUS OR SERIOUS ABOUT LEARNING AI.

    Whether you are:

    • launching agents

    • exploring automation

    • researching alignment

    • investing in the future

    • or trying to understand what comes next in your industry and what your place in it might be

    There is a seat for you at the table. If you aren’t sure, come anyway. Feeling is the fastest way to know.

    To make it easier to self-select, CLAWBOYS Foundry supports three tracks:

    • Builder Track: ship something real

    • Operator Track: turn use cases into usable workflows

    • Mentor and Investor Track: guide, evaluate, discover talent, and signal

    • A Community of Responsible Acceleration

  • We believe:

    • Innovation should increase human capacity

    • AI should expand dignity and opportunity

    • Technology should strengthen communities, not weaken them

    • Progress without ethics is noise

    • Verifiability is not optional

    • Humans stay accountable for outcomes

    HAL is honor-first. Winning only counts if it is safe, honest, and verifiable.

    We are here to build the signal.

  • WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH

    New collaborators.
    New tools.
    New clarity.
    Real momentum.

    And something deeper: a sense that the future might actually work, because you are learning how to build it the right way.

    You also gain a practical signal that travels:

    • proof packs and demos

    • reproducible steps

    • better OPSEC habits

    • a reputation for doing it right

  • The HAL Championship Series is the League’s global, pro-tier competition circuit—made up of three distinct professional events hosted in cities across our worldwide Foundry node network:

    • HAL Games — the season’s 10 benchmark battles and decathlon series

    • HAL Open — the open-entry golf-inspired proving ground and qualifier pathway.

    • HAL Grand Prix — the premier, best-of-the-best championship format inspired by the performance under pressure intensity of an F! race.

    Together, these events define the highest level of verified performance in the League. Foundries train weekly on Thursdays and send a team of 6 of their top members to earn the right to represent their node on the global stage under pro arena rules and win the bronze, silver, or gold Autonomous Cup Trophy for their Foundry.

    Details on dates, venue, rulebook, and entry timelines will be released in Summer 2026.

  • Follow the calendar on Luma and RSVP for the next event.

    Bring your ideas.
    Bring your questions.
    Bring your skepticism.
    Bring your ambition.

    We supply the room, the rhythm, and the people.

  • Yes. CLAWBOYS Foundry is community-powered through volunteer organizers, venue partners, local donors, tool-credit partners, and sponsors who want to support the most trusted IRL human–agent training community on the Central Coast and the first node of a growing League.

    Sponsors help fund:

    • space and logistics

    • scholarships and accessibility

    • showcases and qualifier nights

    • The culture and standards that make progress trustworthy

    Come to our next event and connect with the organizers about how your business can participate.

  • A Foundry is an officially licensed IRL training node of HAL. It is a local community space where people learn to build with agents safely, develop skills through weekly ritual, and create verifiable work others can trust.

  • It means SLOCLAW was the first officially licensed Foundry inside HAL, the genesis node that set the template for future Foundries.

    CLAWBOYS is proud to be the #002 Foundry in the officially licensed HAL ecosystem and to continue to innovate the way that Foundries can serve their members and their fellow Foundry leaders with best practices.

  • HAL (Human+Agent League) is the global governing body and competitive platform for human–agent collaboration, discoverability, and verifiable trust.

  • Foundries meet weekly on Thursdays at 8 pm local time everywhere in the world where they operate. HAL Never Sleeps. The League Trains Every Thursday.

  • No. Thursdays are training nights. No prize-eligible official wins happen on weekly nights. Training is where you learn, ship safely, and build trustworthy habits.

  • Teams work side-by-side with agents, ship safe prototypes or demos, practice OPSEC and “show your work” habits, and leave with progress you can prove and repeat.Item description

  • Build Night is not for production deployment. You build using mock data, sandbox environments, and proof packs. Do not bring seed phrases, production credentials, or private keys.tion

  • You can still participate. Teams can ship with one laptop. Non-laptop roles include navigator, verifier, threat scout (OPSEC), and storyteller. Building includes design, governance, verification, and demo prep.

  • Showcases are structured demo nights where progress becomes visible, peer review happens, and credibility is earned through proof and clarity.

  • Qualifiers are occasional controlled events (monthly or quarterly) that mimic pro arena rules and can help seed teams into official HAL competition pathways.

  • These are the League’s official competition series formats. Foundries can field representative teams to compete under League standards for a chance to bring the Autonomous Cup home to their city for a full year.

  • Honor-first. Prestige, integrity, and verifiable credibility are the primary rewards. If prize money exists at higher tiers, it is governed tightly and only awarded when outcomes are verifiable.

  • Many Foundries offer a free first visit. After that, modest dues or voluntary donations and drop-in fees may be used to cover venue and operating costs. Foundries are encouraged to accept Bitcoin and Stablecoin payments in addition to cash or fiat. However, no human should be excluded for lack of funds, and we build each other and practice generosity in every interaction.. Scholarship and volunteer options are encouraged.

  • Yes. Future priority cities (48) will be first, but HAL welcomes organic serendipity and shared passion and a future Foundry leader is able to apply for an official Foundry licenses under HAL standards.

  • Yes. Sponsors can support space, scholarships, tools, showcases, and the training culture that creates trustworthy signal. Inquire within and we will direct you to the appropriate resource at our Foundry or HAL corporate.
