PicoClaw: Ultra-Efficient AI Assistant in Go
π¦ 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.
β‘οΈ Runs on $10 hardware with less than 10MB RAM β that's 99% less memory than OpenClaw and 98% cheaper than a Mac mini!
