MimiClaw: Pocket AI Assistant on a $5 Chip
The world's first AI assistant(OpenClaw) on a $5 chip. No Linux. No Node.js. Just pure C
MimiClaw turns a tiny ESP32-S3 board into a personal AI assistant. Plug it into USB power, connect to WiFi, and talk to it through Telegram — it handles any task you throw at it and evolves over time with local memory — all on a chip the size of a thumb.

- Tiny — No Linux, no Node.js, no bloat — just pure C

- Lovable — One ESP32-S3 board, $5, nothing else
You send a message on Telegram. The ESP32-S3 picks it up over WiFi, feeds it into an agent loop — the LLM thinks, calls tools, reads memory — and sends the reply back. Supports both Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (GPT) as providers, switchable at runtime. Everything runs on a single $5 chip with all your data stored locally on flash.
