🦐 PicoClaw is an ultra-lightweight personal AI Assistant inspired by nanobot, refactored from the ground up in Go through a self-bootstrapping process, where the AI agent itself drove the entire architectural migration and code optimization.

⚡️ Runs on $10 hardware with <10MB RAM: That's 99% less memory than OpenClaw and 98% cheaper than a Mac mini!

  • NO CRYPTO: PicoClaw has NO official token/coin. All claims on pump.fun or other trading platforms are SCAMS.
  • OFFICIAL DOMAIN: The ONLY official website is picoclaw.io, and company website is sipeed.com
  • Warning: Many .ai/.org/.com/.net/... domains are registered by third parties.
  • Warning: picoclaw is in early development now and may have unresolved network security issues. Do not deploy to production environments before the v1.0 release.
  • Note: picoclaw has recently merged a lot of PRs, which may result in a larger memory footprint (10–20MB) in the latest versions. We plan to prioritize resource optimization as soon as the current feature set reaches a stable state.

I have another Ukraine mission, so going to be mostly offline for a week.

Safe wishes for you and the others.

I have another Ukraine mission, so going to be mostly offline for a week.

Can look at it on return.

The git repo at git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/cloudron-picoclaw already has a valid CloudronManifest.json — just needs a cloudron build + cloudron versions init + cloudron versions add. Would love to install it alongside AgentZero, Dify, Nanobot, and Openclaw on the demo Cloudron.

Its lightweight footprint means it can run on a Pi, or a Phone, or maybe a baby (low-spec) Cloudron.

It's kinda irrelevant on my high-spec Cloudron, but after Hetzner etc force us onto more modest affordable devices, maybe we will be very glad of it !

Now, where are those Pi devices which I never did anything with except boot them up ...

It is being used as an employee in a Zero-Human Company and is managed by other AIs who already modified the code.

I just came to the same conclusion. It looks like all those autonomous AI agents seems to be just another chat interface. Glad to not be alone with that conclusion.

Does the world really need another AI chat entry point ?
Maybe I am missing the point.
Struggling to see how to extend telegram functionality.

Docker image : tcmbp132021/cloudron-picoclaw:latest

There is a 'picoclaw onboard' command but it's easier IMO to edit the config file directly.

EDIT : seems the onboard command is mostly to create a folder structure. real config is best done in config.json
