🚀 The LangChain 10 Days FREE Bootcamp is live: 10 lessons, free AI models only, from your first API call to a production grade RAG agent. Start with Day 0 for the roadmap and setup.
📺 Full playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=KJ3_NExk7-Q&list=PLW4pPr9JCovI&index=1
----------
Connect OpenClaw to Telegram and control your own AI assistant right from your phone — replying like a human, running on a free AI API. In this step-by-step tutorial you'll create a Telegram bot with BotFather, grab the access token, wire it into OpenClaw, lock it to your own user ID, and verify the bot is live from both Telegram and OpenClaw. I've consumed over 10 million tokens and it's all completely free.
This is the Telegram-integration video in the OpenClaw series. It assumes OpenClaw is already running with a free AI API and (optionally) connected to Discord — those are earlier videos in the playlist. Here we focus on one thing: getting your Telegram bot fully working.
