memU Bot
DroidClaw turns old Android phones into autonomous AI agents that read the screen via accessibility trees and tap/type through ADB. Its standout trick is delegating tasks to on-device apps like ChatGPT or Gemini without needing API keys.
An enterprise-focused OpenClaw alternative built on the memU memory framework, emphasizing persistent long-term memory and proactive assistance. Recent commits show active work on secure API key storage, observability, and skill environments.
