5 Simple Steps to Your Telegram AI

Create Your OpenClaw Instance

Sign up at MyOpenClaw.cloud and claim your unique username. This creates your personal AI assistant that will power your Telegram bot.

Pro tip: Choose a memorable username: it becomes your AI's identity across all platforms.

Create a Telegram Bot with BotFather

Open Telegram and search for @BotFather (the official bot for creating bots). Send the /newbot command and follow the prompts to name your bot.

Pro tip: Your bot's username must end with 'bot' (e.g., MyAssistant_bot).

Copy Your Bot Token

After creating your bot, BotFather provides an API token. This is a long string of characters. Copy it carefully and keep it secret.

Pro tip: Never share your bot token publicly. Treat it like a password.

Connect to OpenClaw

Log into your OpenClaw dashboard, navigate to Settings → Integrations → Telegram. Paste your bot token and click Connect.

Pro tip: The connection is instant. No server setup or coding required.

Start Chatting!

Search for your bot on Telegram and send a message. Your AI assistant is now live and ready to help with anything you need.

Pro tip: Try asking your AI to remember things, set reminders, or help with tasks.
