Your Team's Shared AI Brain on Telegram
Some teams prefer Telegram over Slack for its speed, privacy, and simplicity. Now your Telegram group gets a shared AI assistant that can research, browse the web, and answer questions for everyone.
Why Teams Choose Telegram (and How AI Makes It Better)
Telegram has quietly become the preferred messaging platform for remote teams, crypto projects, developer communities, and international organizations. The reasons are practical: it's fast, it works on every device, it handles large files and groups effortlessly, and it has strong privacy features. What Telegram has always lacked is built-in AI assistance. Unlike Slack, which has invested heavily in AI features (at enterprise pricing), Telegram's bot ecosystem has been powerful but limited to what developers build. OpenClaw changes that equation. By deploying an AI bot in your Telegram team group, you give every member access to a research assistant, a knowledge base, and a web browser that responds in seconds. The bot participates in your group chat naturally. Team members can ask questions, request research, or have the bot visit websites and report back. Because it uses your own API key with Claude or GPT, the responses are genuinely intelligent, not pre-scripted.
How Teams Use the Bot Day to Day
Shared Research in Group Chats
Any team member can ask the bot to research a topic, and the results are visible to everyone. This eliminates duplicate research and keeps the whole team informed.
Quick Reference Lookups
"What's the current exchange rate?" "What does this API endpoint return?" "What's the status of that service?" The bot browses the relevant site and answers in seconds.
Private AI Access via DM
Team members can also DM the bot for private queries. Draft a sensitive email, brainstorm without the group watching, or ask questions you'd rather not put in the group chat.
Pinnable AI Summaries
Ask the bot to summarize a long thread, a document, or a webpage. Pin the summary in the group so new members and late arrivals can catch up quickly.
Set Up Your Team's Telegram Bot
Create the bot on Telegram
Use @BotFather to create a new bot. Choose a name that reflects your team (like @AcmeAIBot). Save the API token.
Configure on RunTheAgents
Sign up, paste your bot token and AI API key, and customize the bot's instructions. You can tell it about your team, your projects, and how you want it to behave.
Add to your team group
Invite the bot to your existing Telegram group. Set it as a group admin if you want it to see all messages, or configure it to respond only when mentioned.
Brief your team
Let your team know the bot is there and what it can do. Share a few example queries so people know how to get started. Usage tends to snowball once people see it in action.
