Tinyclaw

Tiny Claw is a personal AI companion that the project describes as autonomous, self improving and built from scratch. It is open source, runs on Bun and keeps its core small, with channels, providers and tools all implemented as plugins. The site states that it is under active development and that a first official release has not yet been made. The listed features include a web interface styled after Discord with live streaming of responses, and a three layer memory system with episodic memory, semantic search and temporal decay so the agent learns what to remember and forget. Behavioral pattern detection is meant to improve the agent with use. A query classifier routes simple requests to cheaper models and complex ones to more capable models to reduce language model costs, and a four layer context compactor reduces long conversations. An autonomous delegation system can orchestrate sub agents that communicate over a publish and subscribe event bus. Security features include a path sandbox, content validation, an audit log, automatic backups, rate limiting and a runtime SHIELD.md enforcement engine. A personality engine uses SOUL.md and IDENTITY.md files to give the agent its own character. The software is free. The only ways to support the project, according to the site, are GitHub Sponsors or Buy Me a Coffee, and the project states it has no official token, coin or cryptocurrency.
