Has anyone implemented a system of Pi for a team? Basically consolidate all shared knowledge and skills, and work on things that the team together is working on through this? Basically a pi with SSO frontend, and data separation. If no one has - I have a good mind to go after this over a weekend.

Claude Agent SDK support?

Quick question is this enforced somewhere or are you just asking the agent nicely? In Agents.md “”” Data Integrity The SQLite database at /workspace/.piclaw/store/messages.db must never be deleted. Only repair/migrate it when needed; preserve data. “””

interested, keep us posted!

I did the same, except my focus is security: https://github.com/skorokithakis/stavrobot I guess everyone is doing one of these, each with different considerations.

In fact forget the claw! Eh screw the whole thing.

Mine called openwalrus is local-llm first written in rust: builtin metasearch engine, graph based memory system, editing configs with commands (never need to edit the config files manually)... we indeed need to focus on sort of real "use cases" first, since I just realized when I'm talking with others about it, the conversions are always meaningless, ends with no response, or sth like cool

Cool project. Good luck!

Maybe this is a dumb question, but none of these *Claw setups are actually local, right? They are all calling out to OpenAI/Anthropic APIs and the models are running in some hyperscale cloud? The "mac mini" you install it on is a prop?

I wonder if we really need agents to have control of a full computer. Maybe a browser plugin that lets the agent use websites is enough? What would be a task that an agent cannot do on the web?

Bender Bending Rodriguez would approve of this title. This title sounds like a Futerama joke if you're not in the know.

Bun seems to be all the rage that people are talking about. In your (and others) experiences, has it been better than all the individual tools that it aims to replace? Do you expect it to stay around for a long time? Also it seems very tightly connected to AI projects - many AI things seem to feature it, and 2/3 projects they show off on their landing page are AI-related. Is it just because this is what's popular in the field right now, or does Bun do something that AI devs specifically really like?

I am on similar path and it’s fun to build an agentic loop with all the capabilities we want
