Why does my bot say it is not paired?

Channels answer only after their owner pairs them. Send the one-time /pair command shown in the console from your own Telegram account.

Can strangers run commands on my server through the bot?

No. Only the paired owner gets host access. Everyone else is a guest whose commands run in the sandbox, or are refused if no sandbox is configured.

Yes. Ask the agent for a reminder and it creates a cron job that delivers to the same chat.

Integration · Channels

Turn any FastClaw agent into a Telegram bot in minutes: paste a BotFather token, pair your account, and chat in DMs or groups.

FastClaw calls Telegram's getMe before storing the token, so a typo never leaves you with a dead bot.

Chat one-to-one or add the bot to a group. Every chat keeps its own session and history.

Users can send text and photos; the agent replies with formatted text, images and file links.

The bot connects out to Telegram, so it works on a laptop behind NAT just as well as on a server.

Run a personal assistant you can reach from your phone, with scheduled reminders delivered straight to the chat.
Launch a community helper bot for a Telegram group — see FastClaw for communities.
Answer on Telegram and Discord with the same agent, memory and skills.

In Telegram, open @BotFather, run /newbot and copy the HTTP API token.
In FastClaw, open the agent, go to Channels → Telegram and paste the token. It is verified before it is saved.
Pair your account: copy the one-time code from the console and send /pair <code> to your bot from your own Telegram account. The code expires in 10 minutes.
Send the bot a message to test it.
