A real AI agent in your Telegram
Message your agent the way you message a friend. A hosted OpenClaw or Hermes agent shows up in Telegram as a bot contact: ask it questions, send it tasks, get answers back in the same thread, at any hour.
Because the agent runs on its own always-on machine at Sokko, it answers when your laptop is closed. And connecting it takes one QR scan: Sokko creates the bot for you and the token reaches your agent automatically.
What the Telegram connection gives you
One-scan setup
Scan a QR code, confirm in Telegram, done. Sokko creates the bot and delivers its token to your agent automatically. No BotFather, no copy-pasting secrets.
A manual path when you want it
Already have a bot from BotFather? Paste its token in the Channels tab instead. Both paths end in the same place.
Private by default
Your agent answers you from the first message. Other people stay unanswered until you allow them, so a stranger who finds the bot handle gets nothing.
A clean off switch
Disconnect from the Channels tab and the agent stops answering on Telegram. Reconnect later and carry on.
Connect Telegram in three steps
Deploy an agent
Create an OpenClaw or Hermes agent from the dashboard. Plans start at $12 a month; the agent is live at your-name.sokko.ai in about a minute.
Scan the QR code
Open the Channels tab, choose Telegram, and scan. Telegram asks you to confirm the new bot; Sokko handles the token from there.
Say hello
Your new bot appears in Telegram. Send it a message and the agent answers from the cloud. That thread now works from your phone, anywhere.
What a Telegram agent is good for
Your assistant, in your pocket
Reminders, research questions, drafts and follow-ups, all from the chat app you already open fifty times a day.
A remote control for long tasks
Kick off a research or writing job from your phone at lunch, check the result on the walk home. The agent keeps working in between.
A quiet family or team helper
Allow a few specific people and give them a shared helper for questions, planning and lookups, without exposing anything publicly.
Questions people ask
Which runtimes can connect to Telegram?
OpenClaw and Hermes, the two conversational runtimes, connect from the Channels tab. Paperclip and OpenSRE are built for other jobs and do not ship Telegram support.
Do I need to create a bot with BotFather?
Not with the QR path: Sokko creates the bot when you scan and confirm. If you prefer your own BotFather bot, paste its token instead; both work.
Can strangers talk to my bot?
No. You are allowed automatically as the creator, and everyone else is ignored until you add them. The bot handle being guessable does not make the agent reachable.
Where does the bot token live?
In secure storage, delivered straight to your agent. It never sits in a config file or a chat log, and disconnecting stops the agent answering on Telegram.
