• I Built a FREE OpenClaw — Full walkthrough of ThePepeBot architecture: Docker containers, GitHub Actions for scalable job execution, Ollama for free local LLMs, git-based change approval.

Key Ideas

• The architecture of a free, self-hosted agent matters more than the LLM powering it — design for scalability (hundreds of parallel agents) from day one
• GitHub Actions as agent orchestration layer: free, scalable, transparent, version-controlled, with built-in change approval via PRs
• Agent self-improvement via heartbeat: the agent can review its own execution logs and suggest improvements on a schedule
