MimiClaw vs. TinyAGI
MimiClaw
TinyAGI
Runs OpenClaw-style agent loop on a $5 ESP32-S3 chip with pure C, no OS or Node.js. Tiny hardware assistant with Telegram UI, local flash memory, and 0.5W draw.
A multi-agent, multi-team orchestrator for solo founders, shipping a browser-based TinyOffice and 24/7 channel bots. Currently experimental but rapidly iterating with Claude-assisted commits.
