Dominik Kundel demonstrated the versatility of the Codex app server by having theCodex AI agent autonomously integrate itself into the game DOOM.
- Codex modified the DOOM engine and game maps to create a functional, in-game terminal. This allows users to interact with the AI agent directly within the game world to perform coding or game-related tasks.
- The setup uses an Electron app with a fork of `doom-wasm`. The agent patched the game data (Freedoom) and implemented a custom C file (`codex_terminal.c`) so the terminal renders natively within the engine rather than as a simple UI overlay.
- Codex handled the entire end-to-end process—coding, testing, and verification—with minimal human intervention. It even used Playwright to "play" the game itself to verify that textures and logos rendered correctly from different angles.
The project serves as a "demo-driven" proof of concept to show that the Codex app server can be embedded into any software environment or workflow, from IDEs to video games.

PycoClaw brings full OpenClaw agent parity to embedded hardware — a MicroPython-powered AI agent that can run on a $5 microcontroller. It features one-click flashing, a full agent loop, hardware control, multi-channel chat, persistent memory, and ScriptOs skills.
PycoClaw is an open-source platform for running AI agents on microcontrollers. It brings OpenClaw workspace-compatible intelligence to embedded devices costing under $5. Built on MicroPython, it supports multi-provider LLM routing, multi-channel chat, tool calling, extensions, over-the-air updates, and battery operation.
This article details the process of running a personal AI assistant on a low-cost microcontroller. It covers the use of Ollama for running large language models (LLMs) locally and MimicLaw for optimizing the model for resource-constrained devices. The author shares their experience with porting and running the models, along with the challenges and solutions encountered.

A portable SSH terminal client for the ESP32-S3 T-Deck Plus, featuring a hardware keyboard, trackball navigation, and touch gesture controls.
ZPUI (Zippy UI) is a lightweight control interface for single-board computers such Z the Raspberry Pi, designed to provide easy access to system information and control functions via a small I2C screen and a few buttons. It aims to solve the common frustrations of accessing and debugging SBCs without a full keyboard, monitor, and network connection.
A minimalist Go system for embedded devices, such as Raspberry Pi. gokrazy uses its own minimal Go userland instead of a traditional Linux distribution base, providing advantages in terms of security, maintainability, and reliability.
