Deploy Your Telegram BotWhy Build an AI Bot for Telegram?
Telegram is one of the most bot-friendly messaging platforms in the world. With over 900 million monthly active users, a full-featured Bot API, and native support for inline queries, custom keyboards, and rich media, Telegram is the ideal platform for deploying AI-powered conversational agents. An OpenClaw Telegram bot takes full advantage of these capabilities without requiring you to write integration code yourself.
Unlike platforms that restrict bot capabilities, Telegram gives bots first-class treatment. Your OpenClaw bot can participate in group chats, respond to inline queries from any conversation, process images and documents, and even handle payments. All of this works through Telegram's native interface, which means your users do not need to learn new tools or switch apps.
With ClawBlitz, deploying an OpenClaw Telegram bot takes minutes, not hours. You do not need to configure webhooks, set up SSL certificates, or manage a server. Just paste your bot token, configure your settings, and hit deploy. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see the OpenClaw setup guide.

Telegram-Native Features
OpenClaw takes full advantage of Telegram's Bot API. These are the platform-specific features your bot supports out of the box. For the full technical reference, see the OpenClaw Telegram documentation.
Group Chat Support
Your bot participates naturally in group conversations. It can respond when mentioned, reply to specific messages, or monitor all messages in a group based on your configuration. This makes it useful for community management, team collaboration, and customer-facing groups alike.
Inline Mode
Users can query your bot from any chat using inline mode. Type @yourbot query in any conversation to get AI-generated responses without switching chats. This is one of Telegram's most powerful bot features, and OpenClaw supports it natively.
Media Processing
Send images, documents, and files to the bot for analysis. OpenClaw can describe images, extract text from documents, and process various media types using multimodal LLMs. Users can share photos, PDFs, and other files directly in the chat for AI-powered analysis.
Multilingual Support
OpenClaw bots can converse in dozens of languages. Telegram's global user base means your bot can serve users worldwide in their native language, automatically detecting and responding in the language of the incoming message.
Why Host Your Telegram Bot on ClawBlitz?
Running an OpenClaw Telegram bot on your own server means dealing with webhook configuration, SSL certificate management, process monitoring, and manual updates. If your server goes down at 2 AM, your bot goes silent until you fix it. ClawBlitz managed hosting removes all of that overhead.
When you deploy through ClawBlitz, we handle the infrastructure. Your Telegram bot's webhook is configured automatically, SSL certificates are provisioned and renewed without intervention, and the bot process is monitored around the clock. If something goes wrong, it restarts automatically. You never have to SSH into a server or debug a crashed process.
ClawBlitz also keeps your OpenClaw installation up to date. When new versions of OpenClaw are released with bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features, your bot receives them automatically. No manual downloads, no version conflicts, no downtime during updates.
Automatic Webhook Setup
ClawBlitz registers your Telegram webhook and provisions SSL certificates for you. No manual configuration, no expired certificates, no downtime.
24/7 Monitoring
Your bot is monitored continuously. If the process crashes or becomes unresponsive, ClawBlitz restarts it within seconds.
Automatic Updates
New OpenClaw releases are applied to your deployment automatically. You always run the latest stable version with the newest features and fixes.
Security Built In
Your API keys and bot tokens are stored securely. ClawBlitz follows security best practices for credential management. Learn more about our security practices.

Deploy Across Multiple Channels
Telegram might be your first deployment, but it does not have to be your only one. ClawBlitz supports deploying OpenClaw bots across multiple messaging platforms from a single dashboard. You can run the same AI personality on Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp simultaneously, each configured for the unique features of its platform.
If your community spans multiple platforms, cross-channel deployment means your users get the same quality AI experience wherever they prefer to chat. Each deployment is independent, so you can customize behavior per platform while sharing the same core system prompt.
