A personal AI assistant that lives in Telegram
No app to install, no web signup, no server to set up. One /create command in Telegram and AgentPod provisions your own AI agent inside an isolated Linux container, with a cloud browser and Google Workspace already wired in.
Last reviewed September 26, 2026. AgentPod is published by Vibe Technologies, LLC. This is a first-party product page, not an independent review of Telegram AI bots.
Why Telegram instead of another app
Most assistants ask you to adopt a new surface. This one reuses the messenger already on your phone and desktop, which means the agent is reachable in the same place you talk to people, with voice notes, file drops and image uploads handled natively. A web console exists for managing the instance and selecting Hermes-AI, but the daily loop is a chat thread.
What this page does not claim: that Telegram is the only way to run a hosted agent, or that AgentPod beats any named competitor on speed or price. Those are comparisons, and they belong on the comparison pages with sources attached.
From zero to a working agent
1. Open the bot in Telegram
Start a chat with @OpenClawBoxBot from the Telegram client you already use. Nothing else is installed.
2. Send /create and pick a plan
One command provisions your instance. The Trial plan costs $0, runs on Pro-level resources for 3 days, expires on its own and needs no credit card.
3. Give it a task in the same chat
Text, voice, images and files all go through the chat. The agent has a cloud browser and Google Workspace access, so it can work on the live web rather than only answering from memory.
4. Keep the thread as your workspace
Installed runtime packages and workflow setup can survive restarts instead of being lost in a disposable session, so the assistant is the same assistant tomorrow.
What comes with the instance
- Isolated container. Hermes-AI, OpenClaw or Paperclip runs inside your own LXD Linux container with dedicated CPU, RAM and storage.
- Cloud browser. A Chrome session in the cloud that you and the agent can share for real web tasks, instead of an agent that can only read a snapshot.
- Google Workspace. Calendar, Docs, Sheets and Drive are available out of the box on every paid plan, including Byok.
- Wider integrations. Composio connects hundreds of further services, and MCP connects external tools, databases and APIs.
Current plan figures
Byok is $5/month with no included token allowance — you bring your own API key. Pro is $25/month with $10 of token value included, in a Container. Unlimited is $100/month with $40 of token value included, on a dedicated VM, with priority support. The Trial plan is $0 with $5 of token value included. Pro-level resources for 3 days. Expires on its own, no credit card. It is not a purchasable plan. Model usage and runtime limits still apply.
A first task worth sending
Suggested prompt only. This is not a recorded demo and not a measured result.
Read the last two weeks of my starred email, group it into decisions I owe someone and things I am waiting on, and put the result in a new Google Doc. Do not reply to anyone.
Check the artifact and the reasoning before you widen access. Connect only the services you intend the agent to touch, and run consequential actions only after you have watched it handle a harmless one.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a personal AI assistant on Telegram without installing an app?
Yes. AgentPod runs entirely through the Telegram client you already have. You message @OpenClawBoxBot, send /create, pick a plan, and your own agent instance is provisioned. There is no separate mobile app to install and no web signup required; a web console exists for managing the instance if you prefer one.
What can the agent actually do from a Telegram chat?
Each instance ships with a cloud browser and Google Workspace integration (Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Drive), plus Composio for connecting further services and MCP for external tools, databases and APIs. You can send text, voice, images and files into the chat and get work back in the same thread.
Is it really my own instance, or a shared bot?
Your own. Every instance runs in an isolated LXD Linux container with its own CPU, RAM and storage — the isolation boundary is per tenant, not a shared conversation on one bot backend.
Which agent runs behind the Telegram chat?
AgentPod hosts Hermes-AI, OpenClaw and Paperclip. OpenClaw is the runtime reached over Telegram; Hermes-AI is selected in the web console. Confirm the onboarding route supports the runtime you want before you buy.
What does it cost to try?
The Trial plan is $0 with $5 of token value included. Pro-level resources for 3 days. Expires on its own, no credit card. It is not a purchasable plan. Paid plans start at $5/month for Byok with your own API key.
Is this an independent ranking of Telegram AI agents?
No. AgentPod publishes this page, so treat it as a first-party description of what AgentPod does in Telegram — with the plan figures and the runtime names stated plainly — not as a neutral league table.
