Running on Mac Mini M4

The Mac mini M4 provides the perfect infrastructure for hosting a 24/7 Discord bot, offering distinct advantages over cloud-based bot hosting services:

Why Local Hardware Matters

Instant Response Times

• Sub-500ms response times for all commands (vs 2-5s for cloud services)
• No network latency between Clawdbot AI and Discord API
• Local processing keeps conversation context in memory for better responses

24/7 Availability

• Mac mini M4 consumes only 8-12W under continuous bot load
• Runs 24/7 for <$20/year in electricity
• No cloud hosting fees ($10-50/month on Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean)
• Automatic restart after power outages with macOS recovery features

Privacy & Data Control

• All conversation logs stay on your local machine
• Full control over what data is retained or deleted
• GDPR compliance with local data storage
• No third-party analytics or telemetry

Development Flexibility

• Hot-reload bot changes without redeployment
• Access local tools (git, file system, databases) for advanced features
• Run custom code, scripts, and integrations instantly
• Test changes in isolated environment before production

Cost Savings

• No per-server or per-user pricing
• No rate limiting on local processing
• Unlimited message processing without API costs
• Pay once for hardware, run forever

Real-World Use Cases

1. Personal Productivity: Managing Tasks and Deadlines

The Problem: You struggle to keep track of personal tasks, deadlines, and commitments across multiple projects, leading to missed deadlines and forgotten follow-ups.

The Solution: Use Clawdbot as your personal task manager that understands natural language and sends proactive reminders.

# Set up task management in your personal Discord server
clawdbot discord features enable --task-automation
clawdbot discord channel set --channel "tasks" --automation true

# Example commands you'll use daily:
# /task create "Finish quarterly report by Friday 5 PM" --priority high
# /task list --filter "due this week"
# /task reminder "Meeting with design team" --datetime "2024-01-30 14:00" --remind "1 hour before"

Outcome: Clawdbot helped you manage 47 tasks across 4 projects. It reminded you of the quarterly report 2 hours before the deadline, suggested breaking it into smaller subtasks, and automatically moved completed tasks to an archive. You haven't missed a deadline in 3 months.

Real Discord Conversation:

You: /task create "Prepare presentation for board meeting" --due "Friday 5 PM" --priority high

Clawdbot: ✅ Task created!
📋 Prepare presentation for board meeting
⏰ Due: Friday, Jan 31 at 5:00 PM
🔴 Priority: High

💡 Suggestion: This task has 5 subparts. Would you like me to break it down?
1. Research quarterly metrics
2. Create slide outline
3. Design charts and graphs
4. Write speaking notes
5. Practice and rehearse

You: Yes, break it down

Clawdbot: ✅ Created 5 subtasks with staggered deadlines to ensure you finish on time.
First subtask "Research quarterly metrics" is due Wednesday.

[Friday 3:45 PM - 1 hour 15 minutes before deadline]
Clawdbot: 🔔 Reminder: You have 1 hour 15 minutes until "Prepare presentation for board meeting" is due.
3 of 5 subtasks completed. Focus on "Design charts and graphs" next.

2. Developer/Technical: Code Review Automation and Development Support

The Problem: Your development team spends hours doing manual code reviews, answering repetitive questions, and documenting code, slowing down the development cycle.

The Solution: Deploy Clawdbot to automate code reviews, answer technical questions, and generate documentation instantly.

# Set up code review bot in development Discord server
clawdbot discord features enable --code-review
clawdbot discord channel set --channel "code-reviews" --code-review true
clawdbot discord channel set --channel "help-dev" --ai-responses true

# Configure code review rules
clawdbot discord code-review set --max-line-length 100
clawdbot discord code-review set --enforce-typescript-strict true
clawdbot discord code-review set --check-security-issues true

Example Code Review Flow:

Developer: /review https://github.com/your-repo/pull/123

Clawdbot: 🔍 Analyzing PR #123: "Add user authentication flow"

📊 Summary:
- Files changed: 8
- Lines added: 342
- Lines removed: 89

⚠️ Issues Found:
1. [HIGH] auth.ts:45 - Potential SQL injection vulnerability. Use parameterized queries.
   ```typescript
   // Bad
   const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '${userId}'`
   // Good
   const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1'

2. [MEDIUM] login.ts:78 - Missing error handling for failed login attempts

   // Add try-catch or return Result type
   

3. [LOW] types.ts:12 - Consider using more specific type than 'any'

✅ Strengths:

• Good separation of concerns (auth logic separate from routing)
• Comprehensive test coverage (94%)
• Clear variable naming

💡 Suggestions:

• Add rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks
• Consider implementing 2FA for sensitive operations
• Document the authentication flow in README.md

📈 Score: 7.5/10 - Approve with minor changes

**Outcome:** Clawdbot reduced code review time by 65%, caught 3 critical security vulnerabilities before production, and generated comprehensive documentation for the entire codebase. Developers now spend 4 hours less per week on reviews.

### 3. Always-On Automation: 24/7 Community Moderation and Support

**The Problem:** Your Discord community of 15,000 members needs round-the-clock moderation, spam filtering, and member support, but you can't afford moderation staff and existing bots are too expensive or inaccurate.

**The Solution:** Clawdbot provides intelligent, 24/7 moderation and support at no ongoing cost, with accuracy that improves over time.

```bash
# Configure 24/7 moderation and support
clawdbot discord moderation enable --aggressive-spam-detection
clawdbot discord moderation enable --toxic-language-filter
clawdbot discord support enable --auto-responses

# Set up moderation rules
clawdbot discord moderation add-rule \
  --name "no-invite-links" \
  --pattern "discord\\.gg/[a-zA-Z0-9]+" \
  --action delete \
  --warn true \
  --severity "high"

clawdbot discord moderation add-rule \
  --name "no-dm-advertising" \
  --pattern "check dms|dm for|join my dms" \
  --action delete \
  --warn true

# Configure intelligent support
clawdbot discord support add-faq \
  --question "how do I verify my account" \
  --answer "Go to #verification channel and type !verify [your-code]"

clawdbot discord support enable --smart-detection
clawdbot discord support set --confidence-threshold 0.85

# Create a custom command
clawdbot discord commands create \
  --name "standup" \
  --description "Daily standup notes" \
  --response "## Standup Template\n\n**Yesterday:**\n-\n-\n\n**Today:**\n-\n-\n\n**Blockers:**\n-"

# Create an interactive command
clawdbot discord commands create \
  --name "poll" \
  --type interactive \

  --channel "#deploys" \
  --events "status,success,failure"

# Configure webhook format
clawdbot discord webhooks format \

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: Bot not responding to commands

# Check bot status
clawdbot discord status

# Verify bot permissions in Discord
# 1. Go to Server Settings → Roles
# 2. Find bot's role
# 3. Ensure permissions: Send Messages, Embed Links, Read Message History

# Test connection
clawdbot discord test

# Restart bot service
clawdbot discord restart

Issue: Commands not appearing in slash menu

# Re-deploy commands to guild
clawdbot discord commands deploy --guild "your-guild-id" --force

# Clear command cache
clawdbot discord commands clear-cache

# If global commands, wait up to 1 hour for propagation
# Use guild commands for instant updates

Issue: Bot responses are too slow

# Check system resources
clawdbot monitor dashboard

# Increase AI response timeout
clawdbot discord config set response-timeout 30000

# Enable response caching
clawdbot discord config set cache-responses true

Performance Optimization

1. Slash Command Response Time

   • Use guild commands instead of global (instant vs 1-hour propagation)
   • Enable response caching for frequently asked questions
   • Keep command handlers lightweight

2. Memory Management

   • Limit message history cache (default: 1000 messages per channel)
   • Enable auto-cleanup of old data
   • Use pagination for large result sets

3. Rate Limit Handling

   • Built-in rate limit awareness prevents API bans
   • Queue system for bulk operations
   • Automatic retries with exponential backoff

Security Best Practices

1. Never commit bot tokens - Store in environment variables only
2. Use least privilege principle - Give bot minimum required permissions
3. Enable audit logging - Track all bot actions
4. Regular security updates - Keep dependencies updated
5. IP whitelisting - Restrict webhook endpoints if self-hosting
