🔥 New Video: I Built a Telegram Bot That Runs Claude From My Phone

In this video, I show how I run Claude Code from my phone all day through a Telegram bot wired straight into my Claude Code project. Voice notes, transcription, replies in the chat, the bot running 24/7 on my Mac. No VPS, no Mac mini, no monthly fee.

Step 1, Get the skill:

Drop the Claude Code Telegram Bot skill into your Claude project. Tell Claude "proceed with the Telegram setup" and it walks you through the whole thing.

Step 2, Create the Telegram bot:

Message BotFather in Telegram, hit new bot, name it, copy the access token. Paste that into Claude.

Step 3, Group and topics:

Create a Telegram group, add your bot, promote it to admin, enable topics under group settings. The topics step needs a message in the group before Claude can confirm it.

Step 4, API keys:

You don't need a new Anthropic API key. Tell the setup to use your existing Claude Code login. Only the OpenAI key is required, and only if you want voice notes ($5 deposit, lasts months).

Step 5, Make it run 24/7:

Tell Claude to set it up to run all the time. It installs a launchd service that keeps the bot online with the lid closed, auto-restarts on crashes, auto-starts on every login.

I'm giving you a skill called Claude Code Telegram Bot. Get the files with:

git clone https://github.com/automatorsplus/claude-code-telegram-bot

Follow the README to set it up.

Recommend how it would best apply to our setup in plain language,

and ask me a few questions to clarify my intent before you install it.

If you want to drive Claude Code from anywhere, this is the setup.
