Recently, the pace of AI development has been overwhelming. While everyone was still discussing DeepSeek's model parameters, an open-source project with a "lobster" icon,
It not only attracted public praise from former Tesla AI head and guru Karpathy, but also directly boosted global Mac Mini sales—countless developers rushed to dig out their old computers to give this "lobster assistant" a home.
What exactly is Clawdbot? Simply put, it's not just a web chat box that talks back. It's a personal AI agent (Agent) that lives on your computer, can control all your software, and has "long-term memory."
Why is it considered the ultimate form of Siri?
We are used to passive AIs like ChatGPT: you ask, it answers, that's it.
But
It doesn't require a new app; it is your communication software: You don't need to open a dedicated website, just send it messages in WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, or Slack, as simple as sending a WeChat message to a real assistant.
It really has a "brain": Traditional AIs start fresh with each conversation, but
It has "hands": It doesn't just give you advice; it actually acts. You can tell it: "Help me organize all last month's PDF invoices and summarize them into a table for me." Then you can go have coffee, and it will handle the files, run scripts, and complete the task on its own.
Core Highlights: This is the future "Jarvis"
Persistent Memory: A local file storage system based on Markdown allows it to accumulate experience like humans.
Proactive Outreach: It is the first AI that actively "taps you on the shoulder." It monitors your emails, calendar, and even stock prices, and proactively sends you messages when it detects emergencies: "Hey, there's a meeting in 20 minutes, and I've already summarized the background information of the other party."
Full System Access: It can read your Notion notes, control Spotify playback, and even operate your Chrome browser to fill out forms.
Multi-device Synchronization: A voice command you send on your phone's Telegram is executed by your Mac Mini at home, and the results are pushed to your work Slack.
Hardcore Breakdown: The Black Tech Under the Minimalist Shell
Gateway Mode: At its core is a local central process that routes your communication software requests to the AI model and converts the model's instructions into local system Shell commands.
Flexible "Heart": It supports Claude3.5/4.5, Gemini, and even local models. Especially its deep integration with Claude Code, which gives it strong code understanding and self-evolution capabilities.
Skill System:
Clawdbot Privacy First: Except for API calls, all data remains on your own machine. This solves the most worrying privacy leakage issues for both businesses and individuals.
Deployment Barrier: The AI Revolution for the Masses
Many people are scared off by its powerful features, thinking they need a data center.Wrong!
A cheap cloud server (5 dollars per month) or your old Mac/PC at home.
A single installation command:
curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash.An API key from Claude or OpenAI.
This is its charm: it's a prototype of AGI that belongs to ordinary people and is private.
From "generating images" in 2023, to "writing code" in 2024, and now the "autonomous execution" led by
We are witnessing the end of an era—the era where we had to learn how to use software; and we are also witnessing the beginning of a new era—the era where software automatically learns how to serve us.
This "lobster" might be the key to unlocking the door.
