A simpler personal AI assistant.
BabyClaw is a self-hosted gateway that connects your Telegram to an AI agent. It can run shell commands, search the web, manage files, keep a schedule, and remember things between conversations. Same lobster spirit as OpenClaw, ~5% of the complexity.

What's in the box
Telegram
Chat with your agent from your phone or desktop. Streaming replies, photos, file sharing, and slash commands.
Agent Tools
The agent can read and write files, run shell commands, search the web, and send messages across linked chats.
Scheduling
One-off and recurring tasks with cron expressions. Ask the agent to remind you or run something on a schedule.
Memory
Automatic daily memory extraction from conversations. The agent builds and maintains its own long-term memory files.
Skills
Extend the agent with skills from ClawHub or write your own. Same skill format as OpenClaw -- fully compatible.
Heartbeat
Periodic check-ins so the agent can be proactive. Check email, review your calendar, monitor things -- and only alert you when it matters.
