Picobot is a lightweight, self-hosted AI agent distributed as a single ~9MB Go binary with persistent memory, tool calling, skills, and messaging integrations (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp). It runs on minimal hardware like a $5 VPS or Raspberry Pi with roughly 10MB of RAM.
Use cases
- run a personal AI agent on a cheap VPS
- self-host a Telegram AI chatbot
- deploy an AI assistant on a Raspberry Pi
- chat with an LLM agent from Discord
- give an AI agent persistent memory and tool calling
- replace heavyweight Python agent frameworks with a single binary
When to choose
- you want a minimal-footprint AI agent with zero runtime dependencies
- you need Telegram/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp bot integration out of the box
- you're deploying to resource-constrained hardware like a VPS, Pi, or Termux
- you prefer a single binary and config file over Python/Node stacks
When to avoid
- you need a full multi-agent orchestration framework with extensive ecosystems
- you require custom tooling beyond the built-in skills system
- you want a framework to embed agents into your own Go/Python codebase
- you need fine-grained control over agent internals or heavy customization
