OpenClaw Telegram Agent
Running 24/7
The most popular OpenClaw setup: a Telegram bot that never sleeps. Auto-reply to messages, manage multiple chats, and let your AI agent work around the clock on dedicated Mac hardware.
Telegram bots need an always-on server
Your OpenClaw Telegram agent can't run on your laptop — you close it, the bot goes offline. A VPS works for simple bots, but OpenClaw needs real macOS to browse the web, take screenshots, and run native apps.
A dedicated Mac running your bot 24/7
Mac4Claw gives you a Mac Mini M4 that's always on, always connected, with full macOS desktop access. Your Telegram bot runs around the clock with real browser, real screen, real apps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simple bots can run anywhere. But OpenClaw's Telegram agent uses the full macOS desktop — browsing the web, taking screenshots, running apps, and using AI models that need real hardware. A Linux VPS can't do this.
