# CLAWDIS 🦞
> *"EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE!"* — A space lobster, probably
**CLAWDIS** is a WhatsApp-to-AI gateway that lets your AI assistant live in your pocket. Built for [Clawd](https://clawd.me), a space lobster who needed a TARDIS.
**Source & Issues:** [github.com/steipete/clawdis](https://github.com/steipete/clawdis)
## What is this?
CLAWDIS (née Warelay) bridges WhatsApp to AI coding agents like [Tau/Pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono). Send a message, get an AI response. It's like having a genius lobster on call 24/7.
```

## Features
- 📱 **WhatsApp Integration** — Uses Baileys for WhatsApp Web protocol
- 🤖 **AI Agent Gateway** — Pi/Tau only (Pi CLI in RPC mode)
- 💬 **Session Management** — Maintains conversation context across messages
- 🔔 **Heartbeats** — Periodic check-ins so your AI doesn't feel lonely
- 👥 **Group Chat Support** — Mention-based triggering in group chats
- 📎 **Media Support** — Send and receive images, audio, documents
- 🎤 **Voice Messages** — Transcription via Whisper

Note: support for Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Opencode has been removed; Pi/Tau is now the only coding agent path.
## The Name
**CLAWDIS** = CLAW + TARDIS
Because every space lobster needs a time-and-space machine to travel through WhatsApp messages. It's bigger on the inside (130k+ tokens of context).
The Doctor has a TARDIS. Clawd has a CLAWDIS. Both are blue. Both are a bit chaotic. Both are loved.

## Why "Warelay"?
The original name was **Warelay** (WhatsApp + Relay). It worked. It was fine.
But then Clawd happened, and suddenly we needed something with more... *personality*.
CLAWDIS was born. The lobster approved. 🦞
