What it does

  • Built-in learning loop: turns your repeated tasks into reusable skills
  • Messaging gateway (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp), scheduled jobs, sub-agents
  • Imports your OpenClaw setup if you come from there; it's the agent PixDig runs on

! A personal agent can read your files and run commands: run it on a dedicated machine or container, give it limited keys, and never let it act on messages from strangers without approval.

Install it

Requirements: Nothing to prepare: the installer handles Python and Node. An API key or an Ollama model at setup time.
