ZeroClaw: Personal AI Assistant Infrastructure

2026-05-14 · source · source ↗ · raw capture · wiki page

Rust-based agent runtime. Single binary. 31.3k GitHub stars, dual MIT/Apache 2.0 license.

"You own the agent. You own the data. You own the machine it runs on."

Core Capabilities

Multi-Channel Communication

Handles messages across 30+ channels: Discord, Telegram, Matrix, email, webhooks, CLI. All routed through a unified agent loop.

Provider Flexibility

Multiple LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, ~20 others) with configurable fallback chains and routing for provider outages.

Security Architecture

Supervised autonomy: medium-risk operations require approval, high-risk blocked. Workspace boundaries, command policies, OS-level sandboxes (Landlock, Bubblewrap, Seatbelt, Docker), cryptographic tool receipts documenting every action.

Hardware Integration

GPIO, I2C, SPI, USB support for Raspberry Pi, STM32, Arduino, ESP32 via a Peripheral trait abstraction.

Additional Features

HTTP/WebSocket gateway with web dashboard
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) engine for event-triggered automation
IDE integration via Agent Client Protocol (JSON-RPC 2.0)

Architecture

Everything is interface-based (Rust traits), so you can drop in replacements for any component by honoring the same interface. Channels/gateway/ACP feed into a core loop handling agents, security policy, and SOPs, connecting down to providers, tools (shell, browser, HTTP, hardware), and memory.

Installation

Automated installer supporting prebuilt binaries and source builds, with feature customization and platform-specific guidance for Linux, macOS, Windows, Docker.
