Show HN: OpenTamago – P2P GenAI Tamagotch

Sun, 03/01/2026 - 11:04pm

I grew up with Tamagotchis and wanted to reimagine that experience for the generative AI era. The result is OpenTamago.

It is an experimental MVP where you can share AI character cards and chat using P2P connections. Because it bypasses external servers to communicate, it is designed to be private and safe.

I'm exploring the potential of P2P architecture in AI chat interfaces. Feedback is always welcome. Code is open sourced.

ClawHost – One-click, self-hosted OpenClaw deployments you own

Sun, 03/01/2026 - 11:01pm

OpenClaw is powerful, but self-hosting it is still painful. You typically need to provision a VPS, set up SSH keys and firewall rules, install Docker and dependencies, configure environment variables, debug random deployment issues, and handle updates and uptime yourself.

I got tired of helping people through that setup process, so I built ClawHost.

ClawHost is an open-source platform that lets you deploy OpenClaw in one click — while still giving you full server ownership and root access. No vendor lock-in.

It spins up your own dedicated OpenClaw instance, gives you a clean management dashboard with logs and a web terminal, lets you manage environment variables safely, and keeps everything running with restart logic. You still get full SSH access. The goal was simple: remove DevOps friction without turning it into a black-box SaaS.

Architecture-wise, it's automated server provisioning, Docker-based OpenClaw deployment, secure secrets handling, process monitoring with restart logic, and a simple dashboard layer on top. Everything is MIT licensed.

Most hosted solutions either hide everything behind a closed system, mark up API usage, or remove direct server control. ClawHost keeps the power user experience intact while making onboarding much easier.

Show HN: AI agent that works autonomously while I'm offline

Sun, 03/01/2026 - 10:39pm

I was on a flight with airplane mode on. When I landed, my AI had built two product landing pages, set up Stripe, written 5 blog posts, and sent me a Telegram summary of everything it did.

No instructions from me mid-flight. It just ran.

Here's how I set it up:

Most people use LLMs like a stateless calculator -- you ask, it answers, session ends, it forgets you exist. That's not leverage, that's just autocomplete.

What I wanted was an AI agent with: - Persistent memory (knows my projects, preferences, goals across sessions) - A job description (knows what to work on without being told) - Scheduled autonomous tasks (cron jobs that run while I sleep) - Tool access (browser, file system, email, APIs) - A communication channel (Telegram alerts when something happens)

I used OpenClaw (self-hosted, runs on a Mac mini) with Claude as the underlying model. Total cost: ~$20/month in API calls.

The key insight: the difference between a useful AI and a useless one isn't the model -- it's the scaffolding. Memory files, a job description, tool access, and a persistent process change everything.

I documented the exact setup -- the file structure, prompts, job description template, and week-by-week implementation plan -- in a guide for people who want to replicate it.

Happy to answer questions about the technical setup, the OpenClaw config, or the memory/identity system.
