What is it?

GoGogot is a self-hosted AI agent that lives on your own server and is controlled through a Telegram bot. It can run shell commands, read and edit files, search and fetch web pages, keep persistent memory and notes, search past conversations, and schedule recurring tasks with cron-style timing. The project is positioned as a smaller alternative to OpenClaw, with a core of roughly 9,000 lines of Go shipped as a single binary of about 15 MB.

You choose the model provider: Anthropic, OpenAI, or any model available through OpenRouter. API keys stay on your server, and the agent is restricted to the Telegram user ID you set as owner. Deployment is a single Docker command, and the image supports linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 and includes a general-purpose Ubuntu environment with bash, git, Python, Node.js and sqlite.

The agent's core is a loop that calls the LLM, executes tool calls and feeds results back. Memory, scheduling, context compaction and identity files are implemented as tools inside that loop. New model backends, chat transports such as Discord or Slack, and custom tools can be added through small Go interfaces.
