About nullclaw

nullclaw is a public-facing AI agent that runs on a minimal VPS and uses IRC as its transport layer. It connects to a user's GitHub repositories and portfolio context to answer questions from visitors with code-backed answers rather than rephrased resume text. It features two-tier architecture with nullclaw (public doorman) and ironclaw (private agent with email/calendar access), cost-controlled inference via Haiku and Sonnet models, and sandboxed execution with audit logging.
