About

A hands-on place to work on agentic AI.

Waterloo Agentic is a hands-on community for builders and AI-curious people exploring agentic tools like OpenClaw, Claude, Codex, Hermes, Scout, AutoPilots, and more. It's a local, honest place to compare notes on what's actually working — and what isn't.

Who it's for

  • Builders shipping agents into real products, side projects, or workflows.
  • AI-curious folks who want to try these tools with people, not tutorials.
  • Students and researchers digging into planning, tool use, and evaluation.
  • Founders trying to figure out where agents actually help.
  • Open-source contributors working on libraries, demos, and tooling.

What it isn't

Not a consultancy. Not a vendor. Not affiliated with any university, company, or accelerator. When we don't know something, we say so. When something is speculative, we mark it as speculative.

Principles

  • Practical. Working code and real trade-offs over hype.
  • Honest. No invented metrics, no exaggerated claims.
  • Accessible. Meetups and materials designed to include people who use keyboards, screen readers, or need captions.
  • Open. Notes and demos shared where possible.
