+# 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
+```bash
+npm install -g openclaw@latest
+# or: pnpm add -g openclaw@latest
+```
+
+#### Run Onboarding
+```bash
+openclaw onboard --install-daemon
+```
+
+This installs the **Gateway daemon** (launchd/systemd user service) so it stays running.
+
+#### Start the Gateway
+```bash
+openclaw gateway --port 18789 --verbose
+```
+
+### 2. Set Up Telegram Bot
+1. **Create a Telegram Bot**:
+   - Talk to [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) on Telegram and create a new bot.
+   - Copy the **API token** provided by BotFather.
+
+2. **Configure OpenClaw for Telegram**:
+   Add the following to your `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "channels": {
+       "telegram": {
+         "enabled": true,
+         "token": "YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN",
+         "allowFrom": ["*"],
+         "dmPolicy": "open"
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Restart the Gateway**:
+   ```bash
+   openclaw gateway restart
+   ```
+
+4. **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:
+
+1. **Fork this Space**.
+2. **Customize the `app.py`** (Gradio interface) to fit your use case.
+3. **Set environment variables** (if needed) in the Space settings.
+
+## 🔧 Advanced Configuration
+### Multi-Agent Routing
+Route inbound messages to **isolated agents** for workspaces or specific tasks:
+```json

+      "sandbox": {
+        "mode": "non-main"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
