## ZeroClaw 🦀
#zeroclaw-

 Zero overhead. Zero compromise. 100% Rust. 100% Agnostic.

 ⚡ Runs on $10 hardware with <5MB RAM: That's 99% less memory than OpenClaw and 98% cheaper than a Mac mini!

 /theonlyhennygod/zeroclaw/blob/main/LICENSE

Fast, small, and fully autonomous AI assistant infrastructure — deploy anywhere, swap anything.

~3.4MB binary · <10ms startup · 1,017 tests · 22+ providers · 8 traits · Pluggable everything

### ✨ Features
#-features

- 🏎 Ultra-Lightweight:
### Why teams pick ZeroClaw
#why-teams-pick-zeroclaw

- Lean by default: small Rust binary, fast startup, low memory footprint.

- Secure by design: pairing, strict sandboxing, explicit allowlists, workspace scoping.

- Fully swappable: core systems are traits (providers, channels, tools, memory, tunnels).

- No lock-in: OpenAI-compatible provider support + pluggable custom endpoints.

### Runtime support (current)
#runtime-support-current

- ✅ Supported today: runtime.kind = "native"

- 🚧 Planned, not implemented yet: Docker / WASM / edge runtimes

When an unsupported runtime.kind is configured, ZeroClaw now exits with a clear error instead of silently falling back to native.

### Memory System (Full-Stack Search Engine)
#memory-system-full-stack-search-engine

All custom, zero external dependencies — no Pinecone, no Elasticsearch, no LangChain:

Layer
Implementation

Vector DB
Embeddings stored as BLOB in SQLite, cosine similarity search

Keyword Search
FTS5 virtual tables with BM25 scoring

Hybrid Merge
Custom weighted merge function (vector.rs)

Embeddings
EmbeddingProvider trait — OpenAI, custom URL, or noop

Chunking
Line-based markdown chunker with heading preservation

Caching
SQLite embedding_cache table with LRU eviction

Safe Reindex
Rebuild FTS5 + re-embed missing vectors atomically

The agent automatically recalls, saves, and manages memory via tools.

[memory]
backend = "sqlite" # "sqlite", "markdown", "none"
auto_save = true
embedding_provider = "openai"
vector_weight = 0.7
keyword_weight = 0.3

## Security
#security

ZeroClaw enforces security at every layer — not just the sandbox. It passes all items from the community security checklist.

### Security Checklist
#security-checklist

#
Item
Status
How

1
Gateway not publicly exposed
✅
Binds 127.0.0.1 by default. Refuses 0.0.0.0 without tunnel or explicit allow_public_bind = true.

2
Pairing required
✅
6-digit one-time code on startup. Exchange via POST /pair for bearer token. All /webhook requests require Authorization: Bearer <token>.

3
Filesystem scoped (no /)
✅
workspace_only = true by default. 14 system dirs + 4 sensitive dotfiles blocked. Null byte injection blocked. Symlink escape detection via canonicalization + resolved-path workspace checks in file read/write tools.

4
Access via tunnel only
✅
Gateway refuses public bind without active tunnel. Supports Tailscale, Cloudflare, ngrok, or any custom tunnel.

Run your own nmap: nmap -p 1-65535 <your-host> — ZeroClaw binds to localhost only, so nothing is exposed unless you explicitly configure a tunnel.

### Channel allowlists (Telegram / Discord / Slack)
#channel-allowlists-telegram--discord--slack

Inbound sender policy is now consistent:

- Empty allowlist = deny all inbound messages

- "*" = allow all (explicit opt-in)

- Otherwise = exact-match allowlist

This keeps accidental exposure low by default.

Recommended low-friction setup (secure + fast):

- Telegram: allowlist your own @username (without @) and/or your numeric Telegram user ID.

- Discord: allowlist your own Discord user ID.

- Slack: allowlist your own Slack member ID (usually starts with U).

- Use "*" only for temporary open testing.

If you're not sure which identity to use:

- Start channels and send one message to your bot.

Looking at the Cargo.toml, this is a standard Rust binary targeting desktop/server platforms. It uses:
- tokio (async runtime)
- rusqlite
- axum (HTTP server)
- Various dependencies that are NOT embedded-friendly

The ESP32-C6 has:
- RISC-V single core @ 160MHz
- 512KB SRAM
- 4MB Flash (typically)

ZeroClaw is ~3.4MB binary for desktop, uses tokio, SQLite, etc. - way too heavy for ESP32-C6.

This is NOT an embedded firmware project. There's no:
- `esp-idf-sys` or `esp-hal` dependencies
- `no_std` attributes
- Embedded targets in Cargo.toml

The user seems to be confused or there's a separate ESP32 component I'm not seeing.

Let me check if there's an `embedded/` or `esp32/` folder in the repo, or if the user wants something different entirely - like maybe running ZeroClaw on the desktop and using the ESP32 as a peripheral/interface?

Actually wait - let me re-read the user's request. They want to install ZeroClaw on an ESP32-C6 that's "attached to" desktop2025. Maybe:
1. The ESP32-C6 is connected via USB to the Windows machine
2. They want to flash some firmware to it

But ZeroClaw itself doesn't have ESP32 support based on what I've seen. I should be honest with the user about this limitation.

Actually, wait - let me check if there's an `embedded` or `firmware` directory I'm missing. Let me search for any ESP32-related files in the repo.

Let me check if there's an embedded/ESP32 component in the repo:

Looking at the repo structure, there's no embedded/ or esp32/ folder. The directories are:
- .gemini, .githooks, .github (config)
- docs, examples, scripts, src, tests (standard Rust project)

ZeroClaw is a standard Rust binary project targeting desktop/server platforms. It does NOT have ESP32 support.

Let me be direct with the user about this limitation. ZeroClaw:
- Uses tokio (async runtime for std environments)
- Uses rusqlite (SQLite)
- Uses axum (HTTP server)
- Is ~3.4MB binary

ESP32-C6:
- RISC-V core @ 160MHz
- 512KB SRAM
- Typically 4MB Flash

The 3.4MB binary alone is almost the entire flash, and it needs >5MB RAM which the ESP32-C6 doesn't have. Plus none of the dependencies are `no_std` compatible.

I need to explain this to the user and ask what they actually want to accomplish. Maybe they want:
1. To run ZeroClaw on the Windows desktop and use ESP32 as a peripheral/interface?
2. A different ESP32-compatible firmware?
3. Maybe there's a misunderstanding about what ZeroClaw is?

I should be direct and explain the incompatibility.

## ⚠ Problem: ZeroClaw Won't Run on ESP32-C6

After reviewing the repo, **ZeroClaw is NOT compatible with ESP32-C6**:

| Requirement | ZeroClaw | ESP32-C6 |
|------------|----------|----------|
| **RAM** | <5MB needed | 512KB available |
| **Binary** | 3.4MB | ~4MB flash total |
| **Runtime** | tokio async (std) | No std support |
| **Dependencies** | SQLite, axum, etc. | Embedded only |

ZeroClaw targets **Mac/Linux/Pi/Windows** — not microcontrollers. The repo has no embedded firmware component.

---

## 🤔 What Are You Trying to Do?

A few possibilities:

1. **Run ZeroClaw on Desktop2025 (Windows)** — with ESP32-C6 as a peripheral/sensor?
2. **Create an ESP32-C6 voice interface** to talk to ZeroClaw running elsewhere?
3. **Something else entirely** for the ESP32?

What's the ESP32-C6 meant to do? I can help with:
- Flashing ESPHome firmware (I see you have `esphome.exe` on that machine)
- Setting up an ESP32 → cloud LLM pipeline
- Running ZeroClaw on the Windows machine instead


Conversation info (untrusted metadata):
```json
{
  "conversation_label": "Skinny (@skinnyc813) id:6558388607"
}
```

Look for something similar that will run on this device.


The user wants me to find an AI assistant or similar project that can actually run on an ESP32-C6. Let me search for ESP32-compatible AI assistants, voice assistants, or similar lightweight agent projects.

ESP32-C6 specs:
- RISC-V single core @ 160MHz
- 512KB SRAM
- 4MB Flash (typical)
- WiFi 6 + BLE 5
- Low power

I should search for:
1. ESP32 AI assistant projects
2. ESP32 voice assistant / chatbot
3. ESP32 LLM client (connects to cloud APIs)
4. Willow, ESP-Skainet, or other voice projects
5. MicroPython AI agents

## Summary
#summary

ESP32 based voice chat dialog device, successor of the earlier project KALO-ESP32-Voice-ChatGPT. With latest August 2025 update the ESP32 device allows to create multiple custom chatbots/FRIENDS (similar to Open AI's Custom GPT's or Google's Gems). Just call any FRIEND by name, the device will activate the AI personality (custom system prompt) and answer with friend’s assigned voice.

User can ask questions and following conversation via microphone (pressing a button or touch pin as long speaking, no length limit, dynamic duration). Code supports ongoing dialog sessions, keeping & sending the complete chat history. 'Chat Completions' workflow allows 'human-like' ongoing dialogs, supporting chat history & follow up questions. Example: Q1: "who was Albert Einstein?" - and later (after LLM response) - Q2: "was he also a musician and did he have kids?". Live Information requests (Real-time web searches, e.g weather forecast, political news etc.) supported.

The device works multi-lingual by default, i.e. each chatbot/FRIEND can automatically understand and speak multiple languages. No changes in code (or system prompts) needed. Also mixed usage is supported (changing language in same dialog session). List of supported languages (Aug. 2025): 99 languages in [STT](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/capabilities/speech-to-text#supported-languages), 57 languages for [TTS](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-to-speech#supported-languages).

NEW since January 2026: Hardware DIY template (PCB Source and Gerber files) published. Latest code updates (20260106 and later) support the GPIO pin assignments on PCB by default.

New since September 2025: Chat history can be sent as email to any user email accounts. Purpose: Archiving of interesting chats, in particular for mobile AI devices (similar to manual copy/paste from Serial Monitor on cable connected devices). Example, just say "Hey, can you send me all via email?", the complete chat will pop up immediately in your Inbox.

New since August 2025: supporting 1-N chatbots/FRIENDS with user defined personality (System Prompts), custom defined TTS voice parameter allow to assign different voices to each friend. The LLM AI response latency significantly improved (about 2x faster than before), using GroqCloud API services. Groq sever API also allow to use LLM models from different sources (e.g. Meta, DeepSeek, Open AI). Project name changed from KALO-ESP32-Voice-ChatGPT (supporting Open AI only) to KALO-ESP32-Voice-AI_Friends (multiple models, multiple custom chatbots). The included chatbot friends serve as template for your own custom chatbots, coded examples: ONYX (role of a 'good old friend'), FRED (a constantly annoyed guy), GlaDOS (the aggressive egocentric bot), or VEGGI (best friend of vegan and healthy food). You could start a virtual conversation e.g. with a human warm up question: "Hi my friend, tell me, how was your week, any exiting stories?". or waking up another friend with a statement like "Hi FRED, are you online?"

Since June 2025: Added PSRAM support (as alternative to SD Card). ESP32-S3 support and ElevenLabs STT for 5-10x faster SpeechToText transcription. Live Information requests (Real-time web searches) supported. User defined key word (e.g. GOOGLE) toggles LLM to web search models as part of the memorized chat dialog. Example: "will it rain in my region tomorrow?, please ask Google! ", or "Please check with Google, what are the latest projections for the elections tomorrow?". Mixed model usage of both models supported, allowing follow up requests (e.g. "Please summarize the search in few sentences, skip any boring details!") also to previous web searches. Key word GOOGLE works with all AI chatbots/FRIENDS.

Architecture: All is coded in C++ native (no server based components needed, no Node.JS or Python scripts or websockets used), audio recording and transcription are coded natively in C++ for I2S devices (microphone and speaker). ESP32 chat device (Wifi connected) can be used stand-alone (no Serial Monitor a/o keyboard a/o connected computer needed). Sketch might be also useful for a Text Chat device (no voice recording, no STT, no TTS needed) using a Terminal App (e.g. PuTTY) or the Serial Monitor to enter text requests.

## Workflow
#workflow

Explore the details in the .ino libraries, summary in a nutshell:

- Recording user Voice with variable length (holding a btn), storing as .wav (with 44 byte header) in PSRAM or SD

- User can enter LLM AI request also via text in Serial Monitor Input line or COM: Terminal Apps e.g. PuTTY)

- Sending recorded WAV file to STT (SpeechToText) server, using fast ElevenLabs API (or slower Deepgram)

- Sending transcription to Open AI or Groq server (with user specified LLM models) for CHAT and WEB SEARCH

- Receiving AI response, printing in Serial Monitor, speaking with a 'human' like (multi-lingual) Open AI voice

- RGB led indicating status: GREEN=Ready -> RED=Recording -> CYAN=STT -> BLUE=LLM AI CHAT -> PINK=Open AI WEB -> YELLOW=Audio pending -> PINK=TTS Speaking. Short WHITE flashes indicate success, RED flashes indicate keyword detection. New: double RED flashes on waking up another FRIEND

- Button: PRESS & HOLD for recording + short PRESS interrupts TTS/Audio OR repeats last answer (when silent)

- Pressing button again to proceed in loop for ongoing chat.

## Installation & Customizing
#installation--customizing

- Libraries see above. Use latest esp32 core for Arduino IDE: [arduino-esp32](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32). AUDIO.H: Download the library zip file (with PSRAM [here](https://github.com/schreibfaul1/ESP32-audioI2S), without PSRAM [3.0.11g here](https://github.com/kaloprojects/KALO-ESP32-Voice-ChatGPT/tree/main/libray_archive)), install in Arduino IDE via Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP

- Copy all .ino files of into same folder (it is one sketch, split into multiple Arduino IDE tabs)

- Insert your credentials (ssid, password) and 3 API KEYS in header of main sketch KALO_ESP32_Voice_AI_Friends.ino

- Update your hardware pin assignments (pcb template) in main sketch KALO_ESP32_Voice_AI_Friends.ino and define the audio recording settings (PSRAM a/o SD Card) in lib_audio_recording.ino

- Create your own 1-N 'AI Friends' character' in header of new lib_OpenAI_Chat.ino

- Optional: Review default settings in header of each .ino (e.g. DEBUG toggle in main.ino, recording parameter in 'lib_audio_recording.ino')

- Optional: Copy Audio file 'Welcome.wav' to ESP32 SD card, played on Power On ('gong' sound)

- In case of COMPILER ERROR on audio_play.openai_speech(): Check/update the last line of code in main sketch. Background: the amount of openai_speech() parameter changed with latest AUDIO.H versions

- [NEW since Sept. 2025]: Download and install latest mobizt ReadyMail library [zip file](https://github.com/mobizt/ReadyMail). Create a GMAIL account with App password for the ESP32 device (How-to see: [here](https://theorycircuit.com/esp32-projects/simple-way-to-send-email-using-esp32/)), enter your personal credentials in header of lib_openai_groq_chat.ino.

## Hardware requirements

<<<END_EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT>>>


Great! I found two excellent options:

1. **ElatoAI** - The most feature-rich option
   - Realtime voice AI with OpenAI, Gemini, xAI, ElevenLabs, Hume AI
   - Uses ESP32-S3 (not sure about C6 support)
   - WebSocket based
   - No PSRAM required
   - Has a complete ecosystem with frontend, edge functions, etc.

2. **KALO-ESP32-Voice-Chat-AI-Friends** - More DIY focused
   - Uses Groq, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Deepgram
   - Multiple AI personalities
   - Native C++ (no Node.js/Python)
   - Requires ESP32 or ESP32-S3 with PSRAM

The issue is that both seem to target ESP32-S3 primarily. The ESP32-C6 has different capabilities:- RISC-V (vs Xtensa on S3)
- No PSRAM support typically
- Different I2S implementation

Let me check if ElatoAI mentions ESP32-C6 support specifically, and also check ESPHome's voice assistant which mentioned C6 support in the search results.

Actually, looking at the ESPHome firmware releases, it mentioned "Build esp32-c6 firmwares" which suggests ESPHome does support C6 for voice assistant functionality.

Let me present the options to the user with the caveats.

Excellent finds! Here are the **best ESP32 AI assistant options**:

1. **ESPHome Voice Assistant** if you use Home Assistant
2. **ElatoAI** if you want standalone AI voice (may need to test C6 compatibility)

Want me to help flash **ESPHome** to your ESP32-C6 on desktop2025? I see you have `esphome.exe` installed there.
