I saw nanobot, which is a 4000 LOC python implementation which is like 1% the size of clawd, so I thought, why not try to make a similar crystal one!
Crybot - Crystal-based Personal AI Assistant with z.ai GLM support, tool calling, and Telegram integration
Onnly works with z.ai because it’s the subscription I have, and only implements telegram because it’s easy :-)

Hey, Crybot can configure itself to give himself extra abilities.

I was thinking of this! clawd is bloated. And Telegram is what I use. You’re a Hero! I’ll definitely take a look and see what can be done. I’ll see if I can add antigravity and gemini-cli oauth support.
I am doing some code reorg to be able to merge a bunch of new features (web UI! “hey google”-like-thing!) so the code may be a bit … unstable :-D

I’ve been trying to implement Antigravity as a provider all day. I forked, removed the binaries and proceeded from there. I’ll see if I can merge with you once you release. Had to touch many parts of the code.

Sorry, since the project is just starting the code has been very fast moving, which makes contributing hard. Make sure to make a PR and I will try to make it fit :-)

Let me finish my Antigravity integration. It’s proven to be much harder than expected.

I have published the 1st release. It’s pretty alpha, but could be fun.

I am having some health issues and am very unmotivated. Updates on any projects may or may not happen as time, motivation and energy allow.
My honest recommendation is: for projects where there are alternatives, use something else.

Update: I am doing well, it was scary but (probably) not THAT bad :-)

An easy feature (took like 5 minutes):
Monkeys-with-razorblades mode!
You can make it slightly less dangerous :-D
