MimiClaw Runs AI Agent On Microcontrollers

A new AI assistant called MimiClaw was released that runs an OpenClaw-like agent on ESP32-S3 microcontrollers costing as little as $5. Built in compiled C and deployed bare-metal, it uses Telegram to relay messages to LLM providers such as OpenAI or Anthropic, maintains session memory via text files, and can control GPIO devices. The MIT-licensed source code is available on GitHub, enabling low-power always-on assistants.
