【New Intelligence Source Guide】It's insane! Silicon Valley has overnight fallen in love with Clawdbot, which can be called "7x24h Jarvis." It has unlimited memory, is always available, and takes the initiative to work. The most outrageous part is that it has single-handedly boosted the sales of the Mac mini.

The iteration speed of AI in Silicon Valley simply leaves no room for humans…

Upon waking up, the entire internet was flooded with a 7x24-hour AI assistant—Clawdbot.

This is an open-source project developed by Peter Steinberger, which has recently become wildly popular in geek circles.

Clawdbot can run smoothly on a Mac mini, serving two roles:

A locally running "AI agent" that can call various models like Claude, Gemini, etc.;

A "gateway" that allows conversations through chat apps like WhatsApp and iMessage.

It is no exaggeration to say that Clawdbot has completely reshaped people's definition of a "personal AI super assistant" for 2026.

AI startup CEOs are exclaiming, "We have AGI now!" Since installing Clawdbot, it has quietly handled a ton of tasks—

The most outrageous part is that it has solved the biggest pain point of mainstream large models—memory. For example, it remembers trivial things mentioned two weeks ago.

In no time, people began showcasing their Mac configurations and sharing various tutorials for Clawdbot.

Even Cook himself probably didn't expect that the Mac mini would sell out overnight!

One developer went on a spree, configuring 12 Mac Minis at once. If calculated at the base price of $599 per unit, the total cost is $7,188 (50,000 yuan).

The real ultimate Skynet is Clawdbot.

Clawdbot is on fire, "True Jarvis" has arrived

In fact, Clawdbot is not a brand new AI; it was born at the end of last year.

At that time, a software engineer from Vienna, Peter Steinberger, published a lengthy article detailing his workflow for 2025.

He admitted, "The most profound change this year is that I hardly read code anymore."

Peter Steinberger returns from retirement

He created an "all-purpose personal butler" called Clawdis, which has complete access to all computers, text messages, and emails.

Moreover, it acts as a "remote control" for the physical world, integrating home automation systems to control cameras, lights, music, and even adjust the temperature of the bed.

It even has its own voice system running Clawdbot.

In fact, from the article by "Clawdbot's father" Steinberger, one can glimpse the key to its capabilities—

Clawd is an AI cyber butler with "highest privileges," managing human daily life while also overseeing other working AI agents.

At that time, the article even garnered praise from Karpathy.

Just like the release of Claude Opus 4.5, which didn't create much of a stir for a long time.

A month later, which is now, Claude Code has shown everyone in Silicon Valley its true power. Clawdbot is the same.

It is an open-source project, and on GitHub, Clawdbot has garnered nearly 9.2k stars and 1.2k forks.

Clawdbot focuses on being a "7x24h personal assistant," truly bringing the long-cherished fantasy of "Jarvis" into reality.

Silicon Valley is in an uproar, AI takes over everything

The real killer feature of Clawdbot is still the AI agent.

It can run entirely on a personal local computer, with all settings, memories, and commands stored as folders and Markdown documents on the hard drive.

Except for the moment it calls large models, everything else is local. This means it has access to the computer's shell and file system.

This is the most explosive part!

Because it has permissions, Clawdbot can execute terminal commands, write and run scripts in real-time, install new skills, and even set up an MCP server to expand external integrations.

Ultimately, what everyone can get is a self-evolving, fully controllable personal agent.

Rather than more descriptions, it's better to directly showcase the "magic" demonstrations from the developers.

Exciting demos officially showcased by Clawdbot: https://clawd.bot/showcase

Dan Peguine uses the Clawdbot platform to manage his parents' tea business, and unexpectedly, it has handled:

Automatic scheduling → Following up with business clients → Managing inventory → Customer service, and it gets smarter the more it's used.

He exclaimed, "In a few months, Clawdbot will probably be able to manage any business, regardless of size."

Developer Nimrod Gutman said that Clawdbot helped him create an amazing feature!

It set up an automatic home assistant that can intelligently control how long the boiler runs based on the weather from the past 12 hours, so even on cloudy days, there's no fear of taking a cold shower.

AI browser Arc developer Andrew Jiang tested it, and after giving Clawdbot ideas for 24 hours, it had already completed content project scraping for 100 top accounts on the X platform, totaling 4 million tweets.

Now, he can collaborate with the writing AI agent to refine the first story. In this era, creating is truly amazing.

Some people have completely fallen in love with Clawdbot's capabilities.

Some big shots say, Clawdbot is all you need.

Write code yourself, eliminate Zapier

A developer, Federico Viticci, shared: Clawdbot has shown me what the future of AI personal assistants looks like.

In testing, he asked Clawdbot to add the functionality of generating images using the Google Nano Banana Pro model.

Not only did it accomplish this, but it also obeyed the command to change its avatar to a "Zelda-style crab."

In daily use, the "memory file" is essentially a Markdown diary it automatically generates every day, recording daily interactions.

The moment that excited Viticci, while also being somewhat terrifying, arrived.

Viticci asked if it could help him save some money by stopping the automation services he previously purchased on Zapier and instead running them locally on the Mac mini.

For example, after sending out the Newsletter every Friday, it could automatically create a new project in Todoist.

Clawdbot thought for a moment and provided a solution: set up a cron job on the Mac mini to check the RSS feed every few hours, and once there’s an update, call the Todoist API to create a task.

After a 5-minute conversation, it actually wrote all the code on the Mac and ran the process. No cloud dependency, no subscription fees, all completed by LLM calling local shell tools.

Mac mini sells out, Cook is smiling

Now, many people have filled their homes with Mac minis just to run it.

Netizens joked that the father of Clawdbot has single-handedly boosted Apple's sales in the first quarter. Cook might wake up laughing.

Is it true that you can't be worthy without a Mac mini?

The father of Clawdbot stated that there’s no need to purchase an additional device; just deploying a VPS will suffice.

Even an old MacBook or gaming PC that has been gathering dust can run it, and a Raspberry Pi can manage it, albeit barely.

A lobster ruling the world

On his personal homepage, the "father of Clawdbot" aims to help a lobster rule the world.

Now, he has truly succeeded.

Many people are almost obsessed with using it. A developer shared some personal experiences and tutorials that non-developers can understand.

It can be understood this way: ChatGPT and Claude live on websites, and humans have to actively seek them out, type, wait for replies, and then copy and paste elsewhere.

Clawdbot is an AI that "grows" on your phone. The main reasons for its popularity are threefold:

1. It truly has "memory."

Ask Siri what you told it yesterday, and it will definitely look confused.

Clawdbot remembers your last conversation, your preferences, and even trivial things you mentioned two weeks ago.

It continuously accumulates background information over time, becoming more and more understanding of you.

The Siri that Apple has failed to improve for 13 years has now been conquered by a retired AI veteran.

2. It will "actively" reach out to you.

This is the most impressive point. Ordinary AIs always wait for people to click on them. Clawdbot takes the initiative:

"Hey, you have 3 urgent emails, and there's a meeting in 20 minutes;"

"The stock you’re watching just dropped by 5%;"

"The weather doesn’t look good tomorrow; you might need to adjust your schedule."

It feels like having a personal secretary who genuinely helps you keep track of things.

3. It can directly control the computer.

It doesn’t just answer questions; it can actually get things done:

Filling out forms, sending emails, moving files, running programs, controlling the browser…

One guy restructured an entire website while lying in bed watching Netflix. He never touched his laptop; he just texted Clawdbot to tell it what to do.

Developers say many people have fallen into a misconception—

I’ve seen someone stack 3 Mac minis on their desk, pulling Raspberry Pis everywhere, making it look like they were building a data center, but that’s really unnecessary.

Clawdbot can run on a cloud server that costs $5 a month, cheaper than buying a cup of coffee, with a minimum cost of $25.

The technical requirements are actually quite simple:

A cheap cloud server (or your own computer)

Install Node.js (free software)

A subscription to Claude or ChatGPT, and you’re all set; there’s no need to build a "Mac mini farm."

Basic cost estimation—

Software: Free (open-source)

Server: $5-50 per month (depending on usage). Most people just need a $5 Hetzner VPS, or run it directly on their own computer (0 cost).

AI costs: $20-100 per month. Claude Pro is $20 a month, or you can pay based on API usage.

Total: About $25-150 per month, and you can have a truly capable AI assistant.

Think about it; some "AI consultants" charge $10,000 just to set up a basic bot; this price is simply amazing.

So, what’s the difference between it and ChatGPT or Siri?

ChatGPT is a chat box; Clawdbot is an assistant living in personal life. Siri’s memory is about as good as a goldfish; Clawdbot actually has a brain.

How to get started?

In simple terms, Clawdbot runs on a computer and can connect to chat software; you send messages, and it replies.

Of course, it can also perform tasks on the computer.

From a professional perspective, it runs a "gateway" in the background, which can be seen as an operator.

Messages come in from channels like Telegram, and the gateway forwards them to the AI. The AI thinks, replies, and triggers actions—like opening a browser or running a script.

Aside from calling the Claude/ChatGPT API, personal data is not sent to any company’s servers.

Some classic use cases:

Morning briefing: When you wake up, there’s already a summary on your phone: important emails, daily schedule, to-do list. It helps you clarify your thoughts before getting out of bed.

Health tracking: "Connect to the WHOOP fitness band, report data daily," someone set it up in 5 minutes, and it automatically provides health insights every day.

Email management: "Help me unsubscribe from all these messy news emails," it will log into the email account, find the spam, and take care of it.

Research assistant: "Help me find the top-rated restaurants near hotels in Tokyo." It will search, compare prices, and give suggestions, all done in the chat box.

Task automation: "Every Friday at 5 PM, send me a recap of the week," set it up once, and it can run for a lifetime.

High-end operations: One user had Clawdbot write meditation scripts, generate audio with AI voice, and pair it with background music, sending it to him every morning. The entire process is 100% automated.

Do you need to know technology?

To be honest, you need to know a little.

If you can follow the instructions and copy-paste command lines, you can manage it. It’s not the kind of thing that’s "done with a click," but it’s not as hard as building a rocket either.

The official website is here: https://clawd.bot

The installation command is just one line:

curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash

Then just follow the setup wizard; it will teach you how to connect to chat software.

If you think this is too hardcore, you can wait a few more months. The community is optimizing the process every week to make it simpler.

In this age of information explosion, what people lack is a second brain that can filter, remember, and execute tasks for them.

Clawdbot is a typical representative, helping many people realize their dreams.

Perhaps in the future, a company will only need a CEO and many Clawdbots.
