Telegram as an AI channel — precise.
Telegram bots are robust, fast and Bot-API-native. We set up your OpenClaw bot to only answer when it should — and stay quiet otherwise.
Why this matters right now.
A naked Telegram bot with privacy-mode off captures too much. Slash commands are nice, but without clear structure teams lose track of which command triggers which skill.
Here's how we do it.
We register the bot via BotFather, set privacy mode deliberately, define slash commands per skill, document the group allowlist and ship a clear bot description set for your team.
The full package.
BotFather setup
Bot name, username, description, profile photo, commands list — clean, professional, with the lobster identity.
Privacy mode
Privacy mode on or off — set deliberately. Default: on, bot reacts only to mentions and slash commands.
Slash commands
One /command per skill (/triage, /report, /memo, /search) — self-documenting, autocomplete in Telegram.
Group behaviour
DM, small group, broadcast — own rules per context. /report only in DMs, /summary also in groups, etc.
Audit
Every reply logged with user ID, chat ID, skill and token count — GDPR-compliant pseudonymised.
Off-switch
/pause stops the bot in a group, /resume reactivates. Admin-only via user allowlist.
From first call to a productive OpenClaw workflow.
