GoGogot — Lightweight OpenClaw Written in Go

An open-source, self-hosted personal AI agent written in Go. Deploy on your own server as a single ~15 MB binary — it runs shell commands, edits files, browses the web, manages persistent memory, and schedules tasks. A lightweight alternative to OpenClaw (Claude Code) in ~4,500 lines of Go. No frameworks, no plugins, no magic.

What is GoGogot?

GoGogot is a lightweight, extensible, and secure open-source AI agent that lives on your server. It can execute shell commands, read and write files, search and browse the web, maintain persistent memory, and run scheduled tasks. The entire agent is a single Go binary under 15 MB that idles at ~10 MB RAM and deploys with one docker compose up command.

Philosophy

The core philosophy of GoGogot is built around being lightweight, extensible, and secure:

• Lightweight & Containerized: A single Go binary running inside a Docker container. No heavy frameworks, no complex orchestration. Just a simple eval loop with good tools and smart prompts that consistently outperforms complex frameworks.
• Secure: You are fully in control. API keys never leave your server, and the agent runs isolated in a container.
