PicoClaw: Ultra-Efficient AI Assistant in Go

$10 Hardware · 10MB RAM · 1s Boot · 皮皮虾，我们走！

中文 | 日本語 | Português | Tiếng Việt | Français | English

---

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!

SECURITY & OFFICIAL CHANNELS / 安全声明

• 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.
