Official Openclaw Contributor Sam, sam, Sam explain explain the change you just made Now? Yes, now. Okay! so most people are running their agents inside their Mac. One of the main is so that you don't have to open any ports and expose your agent to the internet. This is great for security but it is tricky when you have an external application like a CRM or a mission control and you want it talking to your agent at home. You can set up a secure connection with a VPN or something along those lines, but it is a little bit tricky and not a lot of people know how to do this. The Telegram channel already solved this. It allows you to text your agent from anywhere in the world. But the way that this happens is that your agent is actually polling the Telegram servers all the time asking, hey, do I have a new message? Hey, do I have a new message? And when you actually send and receives a message and processes your request. The idea was to use Telegram as a messaging mechanism and just create our own Telegram bot that sends a message to our agent via Telegram so that our agent can pick it up when it does the polling. Great idea. The problem is that Telegram does not support this Because Telegram two to each other in an infinite loop, essentially. But Telegram supports this in channels. A bot can send the channel hey, do this! And then a bot can actually read the message and go and do something about it. The problem is Openclaw did not support this setup. So when I changed it got merged. So now the entire system works. You can use Telegram as a messaging channel between your external application at home without exposing any ports. Whoo! Got merged about three weeks ago. So now if it's gonna our little contribution in the latest version.

Sam, sam, Sam Explain the change you just made to Openclaw? Now? Yes, now. Okay! So most people are running their agents inside their Mac. One of the main purpose is so that you don't have to open any ports and expose your agent to the internet. This is great for security, but it is tricky when you have an external application like a CRM or a mission control and you want it talking to your agent at home. You can set up a secure connection with a VPN or something along those lines, but it is a little bit tricky and not a lot of people know how to do this. The Telegram channel already solved this. It allows you to text your agent from anywhere in the world. But the way that this happens is that your agent is actually polling the Telegram servers all the time asking, hey, do I have a new message? Hey, do I have a new message? And when you actually send and receives a message and processes your request. The idea was to use Telegram as a messaging mechanism and just create our own Telegram bot that sends a message to our agent via Telegram so that our agent can pick it up when it does the polling. Great idea. The problem is that Telegram does not support this because Telegram is trying to avoid two bots talking to each other in an infinite loop, essentially. But Telegram supports this in channels. A bot can send a message into the channel, hey, do this, XYZ. And then a bot 2 can actually read the message and go and do something about it. The problem is that Openclaw did not support this setup. So when I changed it, it got merged. So now the entire system works. You can use Telegram as a messaging channel between your external application at home without exposing any ports. Whoo! Got merged about three weeks ago. So now if it's gonna our little contribution in the latest version.
