Mac Minis are breaking out on ‘Google Search’ trends The driver? Clawdbot People are hoovering up the Apple devices to run their own AI assistants This article explains the Clawdbot setup seamlessly: 1) Install: Open your computer's terminal/command prompt and type: `npm install -g clawdbot@latest` (You need Node.js version 22 or newer already on your computer – it's like the engine that runs this) 2) Run the easy setup wizard Type: `clawdbot onboard --install-daemon` It will ask you simple questions and automatically: - Set up the "always-on" background part (called the gateway/daemon) - Create a folder on your computer called `~/clawd` where all your custom stuff lives - Add ready-made example instructions (like personality files: SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md) - Help you connect chat apps and pick your AI brain (usually Claude models like Opus or Sonnet) 3) Check if everything works Type: `clawdbot doctor` It runs a quick health check: Is the background part running? Folder okay? AI connected? etc. 4) Terms / Actions explained: - The "gateway" = the always-running part that keeps Clawdbot alive 24/7 (uses a small port like 18789) - Your `~/clawd` folder = the brain's home – edit files here to change how it talks or acts - Connect your chats = link WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Slack, Discord, Signal, etc. (you log in/pair once) - Add skills = give it extra powers (built-in ones, your own code, or download from their hub) - Safety options = run risky stuff in a locked box (Docker), control your browser if you want, etc. After the wizard finishes, you basically have your own private, local AI assistant that lives in your chat apps and only runs on your machine Personal assistance just had their jobs displaced. 2026 is going to be wild

Mainstream media are so far behind They’re only just talking about Claude Code How long until they mention Ralph Wiggum, Clawdbot or the Mac Mini shortage?
