Overview

ZeroClaw is one Rust binary that routes messages from 30+ channels (Discord, Telegram, Matrix, email, voice, webhooks, CLI) to an agent loop backed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible provider, with fallback chains. Tools cover shell, browser, HTTP, MCP servers and GPIO/I2C/SPI/USB on Raspberry Pi, STM32 and ESP32. Supervised autonomy, OS sandboxes and signed tool receipts gate each action.

Who it is for: Tinkerers wanting an always-on agent on a Pi or home server with GPIO access

Strengths

  • Default supervised mode: medium-risk operations need approval, high-risk ones are blocked
  • Hardware peripherals on Raspberry Pi, STM32, Arduino and ESP32 via a Peripheral trait
  • HTTP/WebSocket gateway plus web dashboard for chat, memory, config and cron
  • Dual-licensed MIT or Apache-2.0; installs as systemd, launchctl or Windows service

Weaknesses

  • Hand-written TOML config; a minimal V3 config needs four sections before it runs
  • README states no RAM figures and no gateway port
  • Unix installer places the binary under the Cargo bin directory

What it needs

  • no GPU
  • Docker + Compose
  • Models: Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenAI Codex, Ollama, OpenAI-compatible endpoints
