Zclaw – The 888 KiB Assistant
Summary
The article introduces zclaw, an ESP32-resident AI assistant written in C that runs as a practical automation agent over Telegram or a host relay, with scheduling, GPIO control, memory considerations, and a strict 888 KiB firmware budget. It outlines a chaptered documentation structure, supported runtimes and LLM backends, and demonstrates how plain-language prompts map to tool calls executed on device hardware. The piece emphasizes practical deployment in resource-constrained environments and the importance of a clear, documented runtime architecture and security considerations.
