Why and how HomeClaw was built
Story-style intro. You can replace with curated content from docs_design/HomeClaw_story.md.
HomeClaw started as GPT4People: local LLM for security, channels to reach your home computer simply. It grew to include RAG memory, major IMs (WeChat, WhatsApp), then cloud model support, a plugin framework, multi-user and multi-model design, and learning from OpenClaw (skills, ideas) while keeping local-first and privacy.
