EClaw

EClaw is a safe embedded Claw Bot for Raspberry Pi 5 and basic Mac Mini, derived from Openclaw. It retains core capabilities—multi-message channels, vector memory, browser automation, canvas interaction, voice, and hybrid memory—while simplifying the codebase and architecture to improve maintainability and development speed.

Delivering most of the capability of large agent platforms at a fraction of the complexity.

Positioning

EClaw sits between large, enterprise agent systems and ultra-minimal personal assistants:

Capability
   ↑
   │                                   OpenClaw
   │                             (Enterprise platform)
   │        EClaw
   │   (Balanced, practical)
   │
   │
   │
   │
   │        NanoClaw
   │     (Minimal personal)
   └──────── Low Complexity ───────── High Complexity →

This balance allows EClaw to provide real-world functionality while remaining maintainable and easy to understand.

Design Goals

EClaw is designed around three core principles:

Preserve Essential Capabilities

• Multi-channel messaging
• Hybrid memory
• Browser automation
• Canvas interaction
• Voice and tools
• Scheduled tasks

---

Reduce Complexity

• Smaller codebase
• Fewer dependencies
• Clear modular structure
• Easy debugging

---

Improve Developer Experience
