Yo! I’m just a young tech enthusiast who spends every day jumping between homework and code — and I somehow snuck into the Chengdu AI Conference as a guest speaker, sharing the stage with a bunch of tech pros. Looking down from that stage at all the adults looking up at me… I still crack up thinking about it (okay, also kinda nervous 😓 lol).
Here’s the backstory: The conference theme was “OpenClaw” — not the actual crayfish, but the fire AI tool that’s been blowing up lately. I was just casually experimenting at home when the organizers hit me up and invited me to speak as the youngest presenter. Age smallest, boldest energy.
Before going on stage, I was legit worried: Would the pros think I was too young? Would I forget my lines? But the second I stepped up and saw everyone staring, I just settled in — cause in AI, it's never about age, only about whether you dare to play.
My topic was simple: Using OpenClaw to build stuff, specifically letting it help me build memory banks, auto-create folders, and sort things smartly.

My topic was simple: Using OpenClaw to build stuff, specifically letting it help me build memory banks, auto-create folders, and sort things smartly. No complicated jargon — just: problem → throw it to OpenClaw → solve it.
I also dropped a little teaser: I’m planning to build a system using Transformer architecture to dodge the “hallucination” problem in regular RAG — cause AI making stuff up ain’t it, we need a reliable assistant.
Best part? The host dropped: “If you feel like a young kid just blew past you — that’s today’s best win.” The whole crowd went 🤯, I was holding back my laugh so hard, internal vibes: hhhh, being young means you can just go wild!
I don’t think I’m all that (maybe lol 😛) — I just like experimenting and not afraid to fail. Setting up OpenClaw hit me with errors, crashes, dependency hell — same stuff all the uncles and aunts deal with. But the perk of being young: no fear of falling, just get back up and keep grinding.
My biggest takeaway from Chengdu AI Conference? AI isn’t just for grown-ups or pro coders. Young? Old? As long as you have an idea, you can make it happen!
Tons of people came up to chat — some asking about tech, some saying I was brave, even saying I inspired them — honestly, I’m the one who got inspired. Turns out you can earn everyone’s respect with skills, not age.
Real talk: Don’t let “AI,” “tech,” or “architecture” scare you, and don’t let age limit you. I can code with OpenClaw and speak at a conference — so can you.
Next AI conference? I’ll probably show up with something even cooler. Vibe Coding is all about always having new stuff to play with and people to vibe with!
