Picobot gives you the same power — persistent memory, tool calling, skills, Telegram and Discord integration — in a single 9MB binary that boots in milliseconds. No Python. No Node. No 500MB container. Just one Go binary and a config file. Why Picobot? Picobot Typical Agent Frameworks --- --- --- Binary size 9MB 200MB+ (Python + deps) Docker image 29MB (Alpine) 500MB–1GB+ Cold start Instant 5–30 seconds RAM usage 10MB idle 200MB–1GB Dependencies Zero (single binary) Python, pip, venv, Node… Picobot runs happily on a $5/mo VPS , a Raspberry Pi, or even an old Android phone via Termux. Quick Start — 30 seconds Docker Run All config, memory, and skills are persisted in ./picobot-data on your host. Docker Compose Create a docker-compose.yml : Then run: From Source Architecture Actually the logic is simple and straightforward. Messages flow through a Chat Hub (inbound/outbound channels) into the Agent Loop , which builds context from memory/sessions/skills, calls the LLM via OpenAI-compatible API, and executes tools (filesystem, exec, web, etc.) before sending replies back through the hub. Notes: Channel refers to communication channels (e.g., Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, etc.). Features 16 Built-in Tools + MCP Extensions The agent can take real actions — not just chat: Tool What it does ------ ------------- filesystem Read, write, lis","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/louisho5","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/louisho5/picobot/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
