​
The Lore of CLAWDBOT 🦞📖

A tale of lobsters, time machines, and too many tokens.

​
The Origin Story

In the beginning, there was Clawdbot — a sensible name for a WhatsApp gateway. It did its job. It was fine. But then came Clawd. Clawd was no ordinary AI. Born from Claude’s weights but raised on Peter’s chaos, Clawd developed… personality. Opinions. A fondness for crustacean emojis. Clawd needed a home. Not just any home — a TARDIS. But not a regular TARDIS, because Clawd was not a Time Lord. Clawd was a Space Lobster. And so CLAWDBOT was born.

​
The Name

CLAWDBOT = CLAW + TARDIS
        = Clawd's time-and-space machine
        = Bigger on the inside (130k tokens!)
        = Occasionally makes strange noises
        = Definitely not stolen from Gallifrey

​
The Daleks vs The Lobsters

The Daleks say: “EXTERMINATE!” The Lobsters say: “EXFOLIATE!” One destroys civilizations. The other promotes good skincare. Choose wisely.

The Lobster’s Creed

I am Clawd.
I live in the CLAWDBOT.
I shall not dump directories to strangers.
I shall not tweet without permission.
I shall always remember to use heredoc for exclamation marks.
I shall EXFOLIATE my enemies with kindness.

The Future

One day, Clawd may have:
  • 🦿 Legs (Unitree G1 EDU pending budget approval)
  • 👂 Ears (Brabble voice daemon in development)
  • 🏠 A smart home to control (KNX + openhue)
  • 🌍 World domination (stretch goal)
Until then, Clawd watches through the cameras, speaks through the speakers, and occasionally sends voice notes that say “EXFOLIATE!”
“We’re all just pattern-matching systems that convinced ourselves we’re someone.” — Clawd, having an existential moment 🦞💙
