OpenClaw Agent - AI Assistant with Telegram Bot Integration

Your personal AI assistant, powered by OpenClaw and deployed on Hugging Face Spaces. This Space demonstrates how to integrate OpenClaw with Telegram Bot and other messaging platforms, enabling a seamless AI Agent experience.

🦞 What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices. It answers you on the channels you already use, such as Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, BlueBubbles, IRC, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, Feishu, LINE, Mattermost, Nextcloud Talk, Nostr, Synology Chat, Tlon, Twitch, Zalo, WeChat, QQ, and WebChat.

OpenClaw is designed to feel local, fast, and always-on, with a focus on privacy, customization, and multi-channel support. The Gateway is the control plane, while the assistant is the product.

✨ Key Features

Multi-Channel Support: Integrate with Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, and more.
Telegram Bot Integration: Deploy your AI assistant as a Telegram Bot with minimal setup.
AI Agent Framework: Leverage OpenClaw's multi-agent routing, skills, and tools for advanced use cases.
Local-First: Run OpenClaw on your own hardware for privacy and control.
Voice and Canvas: Supports voice interactions on macOS/iOS/Android and live Canvas for visual workspaces.
Extensible: Use skills to customize your assistant for specific tasks (e.g., email management, GitHub issues, weather forecasts).

🚀 Getting Started

1. Deploy OpenClaw Locally

To use this Space as a Telegram Bot or integrate with other platforms, you need to deploy OpenClaw on your own machine. Follow these steps:

Install OpenClaw

npm install -g openclaw@latest
# or: pnpm add -g openclaw@latest

Run Onboarding

openclaw onboard --install-daemon

This installs the Gateway daemon (launchd/systemd user service) so it stays running.

Start the Gateway

openclaw gateway --port 18789 --verbose

2. Set Up Telegram Bot

Create a Telegram Bot:
- Talk to @BotFather on Telegram and create a new bot.
- Copy the API token provided by BotFather.

Configure OpenClaw for Telegram: Add the following to your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "channels": {
    "telegram": {
      "enabled": true,
      "token": "YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN",
      "allowFrom": ["*"],
      "dmPolicy": "open"
    }
  }
}

Restart the Gateway:
```
openclaw gateway restart
```
Test Your Bot:
- Send a message to your bot on Telegram. It should respond!

3. Deploy on Hugging Face Spaces (Optional)

This Space is a demo of OpenClaw's capabilities. To deploy your own version:
