Pocket AI Agent

A full LLM agent with tools in under 888 KiB — chat with your hardware on Telegram.

Est. cost
~$10

Install time
40 min

Sensors
GPIO, I2C bus, DHT temperature/humidity (optional)

zclaw squeezes a complete text-in/text-out LLM agent with tool-calling into an ESP32: GPIO control (with a safety allowlist), I2C bus access, temperature/humidity reading, persistent memory, and a cron scheduler — all callable by the model. Talk to it over Telegram, a web relay, or a local USB console with no WiFi at all. The firmware fits in 888 KiB. It is the cheapest way to put a reasoning agent in a room.

Maintained and field-tested by the Latent team.
