Reunited My Cats in Code – yet another lightweight OpenClaw alternative

Hacker News

# I Reunited My Cats in Code Pickle is yelling for food right now. She does this 8PM everyday. Cookie was her step-brother. The chill one. He lives somewhere else now. So I reunited them in code - Pickle handles the chat, Cookie handles the memories. They're still together. --- Okay, enough cat story. I built *pickle-bot* - yet another lightweight OpenClaw alternative. OpenClaw is incredible, but I wanted to understand how agents work. So I built my own: - Runs on Raspberry Pi - A clean and manageable codebase - Create agents, add skills, schedule crons - Chat via CLI, Telegram, Discord - Web Search, API server, all good stuff. *Chatting with "Pickle" while Pickle yells at me? Just so much fun.* Check the repo: [pickle-bot]( https://github.com/zane-chen/pickle-bot ) Pickle is mine. Bring your own cats :)
