PicoClaw — 10 MB of RAM, 16+ channels, zero cloud

PicoClaw is the ultra-light AI assistant built by Sipeed in Go: a single ~15 MB binary, under 10 MB of RAM, under one second to boot, and zero external dependencies.

It runs everywhere: Raspberry Pi, RISC-V, OpenWrt routers, Android, Docker. OpenClaw compatible (skills, channels, memory). Perfect for deploying a local agent close to the sensor, where your main VPS-hosted OpenClaw would be too heavy.

Concrete Use Cases

Sovereign home automation

Control your home in natural language without going through Alexa or Google. PicoClaw on a Pi 4 coordinates Home Assistant, Zigbee, Matter, Philips Hue, KNX. Your conversations never leave the Pi (except the LLM call if you use a remote model).

Industrial edge IoT

Real-time anomaly detection on production lines. PicoClaw on an Orange Pi or Jetson gateway analyzes MQTT streams, fires Telegram/email alerts, and escalates to the main OpenClaw for monthly reporting.

Smart router

An AI agent that lives on your OpenWrt router. Adaptive QoS, intrusion detection, parental alerts, voice control of Wi-Fi. With <10 MB of RAM, it runs even on a 50 CHF GL-iNet.

Autonomous objects

Turn an IoT object into an autonomous agent. Doorbell, lock, environmental sensor — each with its own personality, its own memory, and a feed back to the central OpenClaw.

Validated Platforms

A single Go binary covers all these platforms. No toolchain to configure, no dependencies to compile.

Raspberry Pi 3 / 4 / 5 / Zero 2W
Sipeed LicheePi / MaixPy (RISC-V)
Orange Pi, Banana Pi, Radxa
OpenWrt x86 / ARM routers
Android (APK or Termux)
Docker / Kubernetes (container <20 MB)
NVIDIA Jetson Nano / Orin (GPU inference)
Single-board computers ≥ 256 MB RAM

What OpenClawPro Offers

PicoClaw is light, but wiring it into your existing ecosystem takes some work (networking, security, integrations). We do it for you.

  • Remote SSH installation on your Pi / router / gateway
  • Go compilation or pre-packaged binary for your architecture
  • Network configuration (VLAN, firewall, WireGuard VPN to the main OpenClaw)
  • MQTT or HTTP bridge for your sensors / automations
  • LLM choice and configuration: local via Ollama (Pi 5 / Jetson) or secure remote
  • Custom documentation of the available skills
  • Auto-update script + safe rollback
  • 14 days of technical support after installation
