Anthropic has released an open-source project called Claude Desktop Buddy that allows ESP32-S3 hardware to act as a physical companion for the Claude desktop application. By utilizing a new Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) API, these small devices can provide real-time updates on AI agent activity and allow users to approve or deny permission requests directly through physical buttons.
Key features and details:
- Connects via BLE to macOS and Windows desktop apps for fast, local interaction
- Features Tamagotchi-style animations that reflect the AI's status, such as sleep, busy, or attention modes
- Supports custom character skins using user-provided GIF packs
- Optimized for ESP32-S3 boards like the M5StickC Plus and M5Stack Cardputer
- Developed using the Arduino framework and PlatformIO

Espressif Systems has introduced the ESP-Claw framework, designed to enable ESP32 devices to function as local AI agents. The framework allows hardware to interact with Large Language Models (LLMs) to make decisions and execute actions locally without requiring constant cloud connectivity. It supports natural language conversation for defining device behavior through chat coding and utilizes Lua scripts for deterministic execution.
Key features include:
- Local event bus driving millisecond-latency responses via Lua rules.
- MCP Server and Client capabilities for hardware exposure and external service calling.
- On-chip private memory for long-term context retention without data leaving the device.
- Support for various messaging platforms including Telegram, WeChat, and Feishu.
- Compatibility with LLMs such as OpenAI, Qwen, and ChatGPT.
- Current support for ESP32-S3 with upcoming support for ESP32-P4.

@op8 sorry for the late reply, thank you very much, i still love it to watch the price on it. The M5 core is the regular black framed M5-core and the bottom is the M5GO/FIRE Battery Bottom Charging Base SKU:A014 from this M5-Stack-Shop (do not forget to buy the chargning base plate as i did, these are 2 seperate items to buy) It has the rgb-led strip built-in but it is only barely used in my code.. My Intention was to show major price movements with red/green flashing lights (and sounds) for example. Unfortunately i did not implement more functions since then.
A little problem i have experienced is the wake-up behavour on usb-cable because with the battery base it behaves different as it is with standart battery back. But this can be solved in the code if you change the settings at //Power Settings
