OpenClaw Watch posted an update
People’s AI is inviting people under 18 in Canada to identify a real-world problem and build an OpenClaw Skill for its 2026 competition, with submissions due by 7 November.
Why it mattersAn information session is scheduled for 3 October in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Finalists will demonstrate their work at an in-person event in October, with judging split mainly between judges and the audience. The top innovation prize is a Dell Precision laptop. It is a small but telling sign of agent software moving from developer circles into youth competitions, where “make an AI tool” meets the rather more important test of understanding what you built. Would competitions like this produce genuinely useful skills, or mainly reward flashy demos and confident presentations?
Discuss: Should youth AI competitions prioritise technical understanding over polished demonstrations when judging working agent tools?
