Our talk

What builders took away

What they left with.

Our talk

From overwhelm to clarity

How an AI personal assistant on AWS and OpenClaw turns Slack threads, emails and meeting notes into actions with owners and dates.

The demo

Chaos in, a task board out

Messy messages went in; a prioritised task board came out, with reminders in Slack and a daily digest.

The lens

Well-Architected, applied

Security, scale and cost for a founder’s assistant: your data in your own AWS account, least privilege, serverless.

After the talks

Time with the community

Pizza and conversations with Brisbane builders working out how to run AI assistants safely in their own AWS accounts.

Community Lead, Assembly, at the time

  1. 01

    Not a chatbot: an agent reads, decides and acts.

  2. 02

    Start small: one workflow, one assistant, then iterate.

  3. 03

    Your data stays in your own AWS account.

  4. 04

    Prove it on EC2, run it on ECS, scale it on AgentCore.

Why we were there

AI assistants, the Well-Architected way.

The AWS Brisbane Well-Architected User Group is a monthly meetup where builders share AWS solutions and challenges from real-world projects. Assembly is one of its sponsors.

In April, Carlos and Gabi showed how an AI personal assistant can take the operational load off founders, and what it takes to keep it secure inside your own AWS account without slowing anyone down.
