NVIDIA GTC Build-A-Claw Install & Demo Guide

Quick Start Safety Check
Use a clean environment only. Run this demo on a fresh device or VM with no personal data, confidential information, or sensitive credentials. Think of it like a sandbox—keep it isolated.
By installing this demo, you're taking responsibility for all third-party components, including reviewing their licenses, terms, and security posture. Read and accept before you install or use.

What You're Getting?
This experience is provided "AS IS" for demonstration purposes only—no warranties, no guarantees. This is a demo, not a production-ready solution. You'll need to implement appropriate security controls for your specific environment and use case.
The Build-A-Claw demo showcases experimental AI agent capabilities. Even with cutting-edge open-source tools like OpenShell in your toolkit, you need to layer in proper security measures for your specific threat model.

Key Risks with AI Agents
Be mindful of these risks with AI agents:

1. Data leakage – Any materials the agent accesses could be exposed, leaked, or stolen.
2. Malicious code execution – The agent or its connected tools could expose your system to malicious code or cyber-attacks.
3. Unintended actions – The agent might modify or delete files, send messages, or access services without explicit approval.
4. Prompt injection & manipulation – External inputs or connected content could hijack the agent's behavior in unexpected ways.

Security Best Practices
No system is perfect, but these practices help keep your information and systems safe:

1. Isolate your environment – Run on a clean PC or isolated virtual machine. Only provision the specific data you want the agent to access.
2. Never use real accounts – Don't connect personal, confidential, or production accounts. Create dedicated test accounts with minimal permissions.
3. Vet your skills/plugins – Only enable skills from trusted sources that have been vetted by the community. Review permissions before enabling. During this lab, stick to skills provided or recommended by event staff.
4. Lock down access – Ensure your OpenClaw UI or messaging channels aren't accessible over the network without proper authentication.
5. Restrict network access – Where feasible, limit the agent's internet connectivity.
6. Clean up after yourself – When you're done, remove OpenClaw and revoke all credentials, API keys, and account access you granted.
