ClawdBoy

Open-source handheld AI assistant. Voice in, voice out. Runs on your own VPS. Fully hackable.

What is ClawdBoy?

ClawdBoy is a dedicated AI companion device with retro handheld aesthetics. It runs on a UNIHIKER single-board computer and connects to your own VPS running Clawdbot.

• Voice interface - Talk to it, it talks back
• Your own server - Data stays on your VPS, not someone else's cloud
• Fully hackable - Write custom skills in Python, customize the UI
• Open source - MIT licensed, fork it, make it yours
