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.

The problem

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.

Our approach

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.

What's included

The full package.

BF

BotFather setup

Bot name, username, description, profile photo, commands list — clean, professional, with the lobster identity.

PM

Privacy mode

Privacy mode on or off — set deliberately. Default: on, bot reacts only to mentions and slash commands.

SC

Slash commands

One /command per skill (/triage, /report, /memo, /search) — self-documenting, autocomplete in Telegram.

GR

Group behaviour

DM, small group, broadcast — own rules per context. /report only in DMs, /summary also in groups, etc.

AU

Audit

Every reply logged with user ID, chat ID, skill and token count — GDPR-compliant pseudonymised.

OS

Off-switch

/pause stops the bot in a group, /resume reactivates. Admin-only via user allowlist.

How it works

From first call to a productive OpenClaw workflow.

  1. 01

    Analyse

    30-min check + process map. We pinpoint the 3 workflows where OpenClaw saves time fastest, and which channels are mandatory.

  2. 02

    Setup

    Daemon, channels, skills, MCP, allowlists, requireMention, Tailscale and the live dashboard configured cleanly and live.

  3. 03

    Training

    Your team works on real tasks: WhatsApp inbox triage, weekly Slack-DM reports, voice-memo-to-CRM, skill maintenance.

  4. 04

    Operations

    calver updates, skill extensions, channel care, security reviews, backups and an emergency off-switch — so OpenClaw doesn't fade out.

Packages

Three entry points. One outcome: OpenClaw that works.

How fast does the bot reply?
Telegram's bot API is fast. With gpt-4o-mini routing for simple tasks you get answers in 1–3 s, for complex drafts (Sonnet, Opus) 10–30 s.
Can the bot do voice messages?
Yes, with voice setup. Telegram delivers voice messages as ogg/opus, we transcribe via STT, optionally reply as TTS.
Multiple bots or one bot?
One bot per team is standard. Multi-bot (e.g. sales bot + support bot) is possible, but we recommend it only when skill separation is genuinely clear.
What does a complete OpenClaw setup cost?
Starter starts at €1,850, Business at €5,900 and Enterprise from €14,900. Ongoing maintenance starts at €180/month. LLM costs (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models) run separately.
Is OpenClaw only useful for engineers?
No. That's the whole point of openclaw-os.com: OpenClaw becomes a work assistant for inbox, offers, reports, meetings, research, knowledge and routines — over the channels your team already uses (WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, iMessage, voice).
Which channels make sense?
We usually start with the channel your team already lives in: WhatsApp and Telegram for external comms, Slack/Teams internally, iMessage on macOS, Discord for communities. The multi-channel strategy follows reality, not technology.
