How to Create a Telegram Bot

Takes about 2 minutes. No coding required.

1

Open Telegram and search for @BotFather

BotFather is the official Telegram bot that creates other bots. Search for @BotFather in the Telegram search bar and open the chat.

2

Send /newbot

Type /newbot and send it. BotFather will ask you to choose a display name for your bot (this can be anything, like "My AI Assistant").

3

Choose a username

BotFather will ask for a username. This must end in "bot" (e.g., my_cool_ai_bot). If the name is taken, try another one.

4

Copy your bot token

BotFather will reply with a message containing your bot token. It looks like this: 123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz. Copy the entire token.

5

Paste it into NormieClaw

Go to your NormieClaw dashboard, click "Deploy New Agent", and paste your token into the Telegram Bot Token field. That's it!

Pro tip

You can create as many Telegram bots as you want with BotFather — each one gets its own unique token. Use a different bot for each NormieClaw agent.
