OpenBiliClaw: a private cross-platform content discovery agent that uses psychological profiling to break information cocoons

What it solves

OpenBiliClaw addresses the limitations of platform-controlled recommendation systems, which often create "information cocoons" by optimizing for platform metrics (like retention and ad revenue) rather than genuine user satisfaction. It also solves the problem of fragmented interests, where a user's preferences are split across different platforms (e.g., Bilibili, YouTube, X) without a unified understanding of the user's personality and needs.

How it works

It is a locally-run AI Agent that builds a deep, five-layer psychological profile (Events $\rightarrow$ Preferences $\rightarrow$ Awareness $\rightarrow$ Insight $\rightarrow$ Soul) of the user based on cross-platform behavior, feedback, and conversations. Instead of simple tag matching, it uses this profile to actively explore and guess interests the user might have but hasn't encountered yet. It integrates with various platforms via a browser extension to collect signals and a local backend (using SQLite and LLMs) to process data and generate recommendations.

Who it’s for

Users who want a private, personalized content discovery experience that isn't controlled by corporate algorithms, and those who wish to unify their content consumption across multiple platforms while keeping their data 100% local.

Highlights

• Cross-Platform Integration: Supports Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, YouTube, X (Twitter), Zhihu, and Reddit.
• Privacy-First: All data is stored in a local SQLite file; no cloud accounts are required.
• Psychological Profiling: Infers MBTI, cognitive styles, and deep psychological needs to move beyond simple collaborative filtering.
• Active Exploration: Proactively searches for content in new domains based on psychological bridges rather than just matching existing tags.
• Multi-Interface Access: Provides a browser extension for interaction, a desktop web interface for a full dashboard, and a mobile web view for on-the-go use.
