OpenClaw Lite

A lightweight fork of OpenClaw — stripped down to one integration, zero bloat.

Telegram-first. One channel, one bot, full focus.

What it does

Private AI assistant that lives in your Telegram. Memory, voice, background agents, cron jobs, and a skill system you can extend from chat.

• 🧠 Hybrid memory — vector embeddings + full-text search, persistent across sessions
• 🤖 Background agents — spawn long-running tasks that report back when done
• 🌐 Agent browser — web automation powered by Steel Labs (replaces Playwright/Puppeteer)
• 🔧 Skill system — install, create, and manage skills from chat. Ships with web search, summarize, weather, voice, bash, and more
• ⏰ Cron & heartbeat — scheduled jobs and periodic check-ins
• 🔐 Private by default — owner-only access, optional allowlist
