# The Problem

## You Want AI in Your Pocket. Not Another Browser Tab.

You already use Telegram for everything. Wouldn't it be great if your AI assistant lived there too? But the options are terrible.

🤖  
ChatGPT Plus costs $20/month but doesn't work in Telegram. You have to switch to a browser every time.

💻  
Building your own Telegram bot means Python, Docker, APIs, hosting — weeks of work before you send a single message.

😤  
The free Telegram bots are glorified keyword matchers. Ask anything complex and they fall apart.

🧠  
Every AI chat tool forgets you. New conversation = new stranger. No memory, no context, no continuity.

🔧  
You want tools — web search, file handling, reminders — not just text generation in a chat bubble.

⏰  
You want an AI available 24/7, instantly, without opening a laptop or navigating to a website.

# Capabilities

## Not a Chatbot. An AI Agent With Tools.

### Web Search & Real-Time Research

Ask it to find the latest news, research a topic, compare products, or check facts. Your bot searches the web in real time and synthesizes results — no copy-pasting from Google.

"What are the top 5 co-working spaces in Berlin with monthly passes under 200 EUR? Compare them."

### Persistent Memory Across Conversations

Unlike ChatGPT, your bot remembers everything. Your preferences, your projects, your schedule, things you told it weeks ago. Every conversation builds on the last.

"Remember, I'm allergic to shellfish and prefer window seats." — It remembers. Forever.

### URL Reading & Summarization

Send it any URL — articles, PDFs, documentation, YouTube transcripts — and it reads, summarizes, and answers questions about the content instantly.

"Read this 40-page PDF and give me the 5 key takeaways relevant to my project."

### Reminders & Scheduling

Set reminders for tasks, follow-ups, deadlines, or recurring events. Your bot notifies you in Telegram at exactly the right time.

"Remind me to follow up with the landlord next Tuesday at 10 AM."

### Writing & Content Creation

Draft emails, blog posts, social media content, messages, cover letters, proposals — in your voice, with context it already knows about you.

"Draft a reply to this email from my client. Keep it professional but warm, and mention the timeline we discussed."

### File Handling & Analysis

Send it documents, spreadsheets, images, or code files. It reads, analyzes, and responds with insights, summaries, or edits.

"Here's my CSV of expenses. What were my top 3 spending categories last month?"

| Persistent memory      | No                            | If you code it         | Yes            |

**The bottom line:** ChatGPT Plus doesn't work in Telegram. Building your own costs weeks and hundreds in hosting. HostedClaws gives you a better bot in 5 minutes for $40/month — with features that would take months to build yourself.

# FAQ

## Common Questions About AI Telegram Bots

### How do I set up an AI bot in Telegram?

It takes about 5 minutes. Create a bot via Telegram's BotFather (takes 30 seconds), paste the token into HostedClaws, pick your AI model, and click deploy. Your bot is live in your DMs and ready to chat. No coding, no server setup, no Docker — we handle all the infrastructure.

### Which AI models can my Telegram bot use?

Over 300 models via OpenRouter, including Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Llama, Mistral, and more. You can switch models anytime from your dashboard. Most users start with Claude for its reasoning quality and natural conversation style.

### Does the bot remember previous conversations?

Yes — this is one of the biggest advantages over ChatGPT or other AI tools. Your HostedClaws bot has persistent memory across all conversations. It remembers your preferences, past requests, project context, and personal details you share. The more you use it, the more useful it becomes.

### Is my Telegram conversation data private?

Your bot runs in its own isolated container on our servers. We don't read, train on, or share your messages. Your conversation data stays in your container and is encrypted at rest. You can request full data deletion at any time.

### What can the AI Telegram bot actually do?

It's a full AI agent, not just a chatbot. It can search the web in real time, read and summarize URLs, handle files, set reminders, draft emails and messages, do research, answer complex questions, write code, create content, and more. Think of it as a personal assistant that happens to live in Telegram.

### How many messages can I send per month?

The Starter plan ($40/mo) includes $10 in AI credits, which covers roughly 500 messages depending on length and model. The Pro plan ($100/mo) includes $25 in credits for approximately 1,250 messages. If you need more, you can top up credits anytime starting at $5.

### Can I use the bot in Telegram groups, or just DMs?

Both. You can add the bot to any Telegram group and it will respond when mentioned or when configured to participate. It works in 1-on-1 DMs, group chats, and even channels. You control exactly where and how it responds.

### How is this different from the official ChatGPT Telegram bot?

The official ChatGPT bot gives you a basic chat interface with no memory between sessions, no tools, and limited model access. HostedClaws gives you a full AI agent with persistent memory, web search, file handling, reminders, 300+ model choices, and a web UI. It's the difference between a chat window and a personal assistant.
