🤖 n8n-claw — Self-Hosted AI Agent

A fully self-hosted AI agent built on n8n + PostgreSQL + Claude. Talks to you via Telegram, builds its own MCP tools, manages reminders and memory — all running on your own infrastructure.

What it does

Talk to your agent in natural language — it manages tasks, remembers context across conversations, builds API integrations, and proactively keeps you on track.

• Telegram chat — talk to your AI agent directly via Telegram
• Long-term memory — remembers conversations and important context with optional semantic search (RAG)
• Task management — create, track, and complete tasks with priorities and due dates
• Proactive heartbeat — automatically reminds you of overdue/urgent tasks
• Morning briefing — daily summary of your tasks at a time you choose
• MCP Skills — install pre-built skills or build new API integrations on demand
• Smart reminders — timed Telegram reminders ("remind me in 2 hours to...")
• Scheduled actions — the agent executes instructions at a set time ("search HN for AI news at 9am")
• Web search — searches the web via built-in SearXNG instance (no API key needed)
• Project memory — persistent markdown documents for tracking ongoing work across conversations
• Extensible — add new skills and capabilities through natural language or from the skill catalog
