n8n-claw — Self-Hosted AI Agent

Short Introduction

What it does

Talk to your agent in natural language — it manages tasks, remembers context across conversations, builds API integrations, and proactively keeps you on track.

Telegram chat — talk to your AI agent directly via Telegram

Webhook API — call the agent from any external system via HTTP (Slack, Teams, Paperclip, custom apps)

Enriched long-term memory — hybrid search (semantic + full-text + entity match, fused via RRF) with time decay, tags, entity tracking, source attribution, and category-based auto-expiry. Finds people by name, survives embedding API outages, naturally prefers recent context.

Knowledge graph — automatically tracks people, companies, products, and events; multi-hop graph traversal reveals how everything connects

Task management — create, track, and complete tasks with priorities and due dates

Proactive heartbeat — automatically reminds you of overdue/urgent tasks

Recurring actions — repeating tasks on any schedule ("check my emails every 15 minutes", "daily briefing at 8am")

Smart background checks — monitoring tasks only notify you when something new is found

Failure awareness — workflow errors are logged to memory and pushed to Telegram. Just ask "did anything fail today?" or "what was the error in the last background check?" and the agent explains in plain language — no more digging through n8n execution logs

Expert agents — delegate complex tasks to specialized sub-agents (3 included, 100+ available from agent catalog across 12 categories)

MCP Skills — install pre-built skills or build new API integrations on demand

Smart reminders — timed Telegram reminders ("remind me in 2 hours to...")

Scheduled actions — the agent executes instructions at a set time ("search HN for AI news at 9am")

Web search — searches the web via built-in SearXNG instance (no API key needed)

Web reader — reads webpages as clean markdown via Crawl4AI (JS rendering, no boilerplate)

Browser automation — drives a real Chromium via Browser Use to perform agentic actions on websites: newsletter signups, contact forms, click f
