# PicoClaw Integration with OfoxAI

Source: https://ofox.ai/docs/integrations/picoclaw

[PicoClaw](https://picoclaw.io) is an ultra-lightweight, open-source AI assistant from Sipeed. Written in Go, it ships as a single binary, uses under 10MB of RAM, starts in under 1 second, and runs on devices ranging from Raspberry Pi to Linux and RISC-V. It also integrates with messaging platforms like Telegram, Discord, Feishu, and WeChat.

By connecting OfoxAI, you can use GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and 100+ models in PicoClaw with a single API Key.

## Prerequisites

- A registered OfoxAI account with an API Key ([Get one here](https://app.ofox.ai))
- PicoClaw downloaded and running ([Download](https://picoclaw.io))

After launching `picoclaw-launcher`, open `http://localhost:18800` in your browser to access the WebUI.

## Configuration Steps

### Step 1: Open the Model Configuration Page

In the WebUI left navigation, click **Models → Models** to open the model management page. Models are grouped by provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.). Click the **Edit** icon on a model card to configure it.

### Step 2: Configure the Model

In the configuration panel, fill in the following:

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Provider** | `OpenAI` |
| **Model Identifier** | The model ID you want, e.g. `openai/model-name` (see the [Model Gallery](https://ofox.ai/models)) |
| **API Key** | Your OfoxAI API Key |
| **API Base URL** | `https://api.ofox.ai/v1` |

PicoClaw connects to OfoxAI via the OpenAI-compatible protocol and can access all models including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. Just enter the model ID in the **Model Identifier** field (see the [Model Gallery](https://ofox.ai/models)) using the full `openai/model-name` format.

Click **Save** when done. To set this model as the default, toggle on **Default Model** or click the ☆ icon in the model list.

### Step 3: Confirm the Configuration

After saving, the status dot on the left of the model card turns green and shows the model identifier and a masked API Key, indicating success.

## Recommended Models

See the [Model Gallery](https://ofox.ai/models) for recommended models.

## FAQ

**Q: The WebUI shows `Failed to execute 'removeChild'`**

This is caused by a browser translation extension conflicting with the page. Disable auto-translation for the page, or open `http://localhost:18800` in an incognito window.

**Q: Can I use Claude or Gemini models?**

Yes. Through OfoxAI's OpenAI-compatible endpoint, all models are accessible. Just enter the model ID in the **Model Identifier** field (see the [Model Gallery](https://ofox.ai/models)).

**Q: Connection test or chat fails**

1. Confirm the API Base URL is set to `https://api.ofox.ai/v1`
2. Confirm the API Key was copied in full from the [OfoxAI Console](https://app.ofox.ai) with no extra spaces
3. Confirm you clicked **Start Service** in the top-right corner
