MimiClaw: Tiny AI Assistant on a $5 ESP32‑S3 Chip

Meet MimiClaw, the first conversational AI running on a $5 ESP32‑S3 board with no Linux or Node.js. Powered by Claude on the edge, it stores all data locally, uses Telegram for messaging, and supports web search via Brave Search. The project offers a plug‑and‑play setup, a dual‑core design, OTA updates, and even a WebSocket gateway. In this article we walk through its unique architecture, quick‑start instructions, configuration options, and real‑world use cases that make MimiClaw a must‑try for hobbyists and developers looking for a private, privacy‑first AI assistant on a single, thumb‑size chip.
