What it is: MimiClaw packs a complete set of AI agent capabilities—reasoning, tool use, and reading and writing memory—into an ESP32-S3 chip that does not run Linux. It is implemented in pure C, sends and receives messages through Telegram, supports switching between Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT as the model provider, and stores all data in local flash memory. Hardware list and approximate cost: One ESP32-S3 development board with 16MB flash and 8MB PSRAM, such as the Xiaozhi AI board, costing about $10; one USB Type-C data cable; plus a Telegram Bot Token and an Anthropic or OpenAI API Key. The chip itself costs about $5, and the total hardware cost is far below that of typical consumer electronics. Overview of replication steps: 1. Install the ESP-IDF v5.5 or later development environment 2. Clone the repository and run idf.py set-target esp32s3 3. Copy main/mimi_secrets.h.example to mimi_secrets.h, then enter the WiFi credentials, Telegram Token, API Key, and model provider 4. Run idf.py fullclean && idf.py build to compile the firmware 5. Use idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to flash the firmware to the development board and view the serial logs 6. Find your bot in Telegram and send it a message to trigger a task Getting-started tip: Whenever you modify mimi_secrets.h, you must run fullclean before build. The official source specifically emphasizes this step in bold; if you skip it, the new configuration will not take effect.
