Open Source C AI Agents

MimiClaw (from the mimiclaw project) is an edge-AI personal assistant that runs directly on extremely low-cost hardware like an ESP32-S3 microcontroller without a full operating system, Node.js, or cloud backend. By running pure C on a bare-metal chip, MimiClaw brings AI interactions and persistent memory to a tiny USB-powered device you can carry in your pocket. You connect the device to Wi-Fi and chat with it using Telegram, making it a convenient always-on assistant for tasks like reminders, quick lookups, or custom AI interactions. Even though it’s running on minimal hardware, MimiClaw maintains local memory that persists across power cycles, enabling context continuity over time without relying on cloud services. Its architecture emphasizes privacy, low power, and portability, ideal for personal or hobbyist use cases where privacy and local control matter.

TEN (Transformative Extensions Network) is a voice agent framework for creating conversational AI applications, focusing on high performance and modularity.
