Open-source Clawdbot lets users run personal AI assistants on modest hardware - even a 2018 laptop or Raspberry Pi. Unlike web-based chatbots, it maintains persistent memory and proactively contacts users through WhatsApp. Monthly costs range from $25-205, mostly for AI model access rather than hardware. Active community pushes hourly updates, but setup still requires technical patience.
