About

What is mimiclaw?

MimiClaw transforms a small ESP32-S3 board into a personal AI assistant, running OpenClaw on a $5 chip without requiring Linux, Node.js, or a traditional OS. It connects via Telegram, allowing users to interact with it for various tasks. The assistant learns and remembers across reboots with local memory storage on flash. It supports both Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (GPT) models, switchable at runtime. Key features include tool calling for web search and scheduling tasks, a built-in cron scheduler for autonomous actions, and a heartbeat service that prompts the AI to act on uncompleted tasks in HEARTBEAT.md. All data is stored locally, ensuring privacy and portability.

FAQs

What hardware is required to run MimiClaw?

MimiClaw requires an ESP32-S3 dev board with 16 MB flash and 8 MB PSRAM, such as the Xiaozhi AI board. It runs on a $5 chip, making it a very cost-effective solution for a personal AI assistant.

How does MimiClaw handle memory and privacy?

MimiClaw stores all data locally on the ESP32-S3's flash memory, including personality, user info, long-term memory, and chat history. This local-first approach ensures privacy and allows the bot to remember information across reboots without cloud dependencies.

Can MimiClaw perform web searches or schedule tasks?

Yes, MimiClaw supports tool calling, allowing the LLM to perform web searches via Tavily or Brave Search. It also has a built-in cron scheduler, enabling the AI to schedule recurring or one-shot tasks autonomously, which are persisted across reboots.
