How it works

I

Create a Telegram Bot

Message @BotFather on Telegram, type /newbot, and copy the token it gives you.

II

Log in with OpenTau

Use your OpenTau account below. We generate a dedicated API key for your TauClaw instance — inference routes through Bittensor, not centralized providers.

III

Choose a Model

Llama 3.3 70B (fast, free tier), DeepSeek R1 671B (reasoning beast), or Hermes 4 405B (uncensored). All decentralized.

IV

Run One Command

We generate your config files and a single curl | bash command. Docker pulls the image, writes config, starts your agent. Done in 60 seconds.

V

Approve Pairing

Send a message to your bot on Telegram. It gives you a pairing code. Approve it with one Docker command. You are now talking to decentralized AI.

τ

Generate your setup

Log in, paste your bot token, pick a model. We handle the rest.

Your TauClaw config

Copy the files or run the one-line installer below.

One-line install:

    
  


  
  

    

      docker-compose.yml
      
    

    

  


  
  

    

      openclaw.json
      
    

    

  


  
  

    
After installation

    
    
      
  1. Wait ~20 seconds for the container to start
    2. 
      
  2. Send any message to your Telegram bot
    3. 
      
  3. The bot will reply with a pairing code (e.g. A7X9)
    4. 
      
  4. Approve the pairing:
        
    docker exec tauclaw openclaw pairing approve telegram CODE
      
    5. 
      
  5. You are now chatting with decentralized AI through Bittensor
    6. 
      
  6. To check logs: docker logs -f tauclaw
    7. 
      
  7. To stop: cd ~/tauclaw && docker compose down
    8.
