PicoClaw is an ultra-lightweight, self-hosted personal AI assistant written in Go that ships as a single binary running in under 10MB of RAM on hardware as cheap as a $10 RISC-V board. It connects to 16+ chat channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WeChat-family apps, etc.), supports many LLM providers, and includes scheduling, web search, sandboxed tool execution, and MCP support.

Use cases

  • run a personal AI assistant on a raspberry pi or cheap risc-v board
  • connect an LLM chatbot to telegram or discord
  • self-host a private AI assistant with no cloud dependency
  • set reminders and recurring scheduled tasks via chat
  • bridge one assistant to slack, dingtalk, feishu, and QQ at once
  • run a local AI agent on android via termux or APK
  • use multiple LLM providers like OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, and Ollama with one config

When to choose

  • you need an always-on assistant on minimal, low-power, or embedded hardware
  • you want a single self-contained binary with zero dependencies
  • you need multi-platform chat channel support in one gateway
  • you value self-hosting, privacy, and full data control
  • you want multi-LLM provider flexibility and MCP tool integration

When to avoid

  • you need a polished managed cloud assistant with vendor support
  • you require heavy multi-agent orchestration or fine-tuning infrastructure
  • you need guaranteed enterprise-grade security — the sandbox and web console have documented caveats
  • you want a graphical-first desktop assistant rather than a gateway/CLI service
