OpenClaw setup: Telegram, skills and automations

This beginner tutorial demonstrates OpenClaw through Hostinger's managed service. The presenter creates a Telegram bot with BotFather, saves its API token, and pairs it with the agent during setup. Browser access is also an option. A separate VPS guide is referenced, but this walkthrough uses the managed dashboard rather than demonstrating terminal installation.

The configuration section explains how Identity.md, Soul.md and Agents.md shape the AI agent. The presenter adds rules for tool use, response length and memory logs, and discusses permission boundaries and token spending. Model selection uses the /model command, followed by a switch from Nexus-provided GPT 5.2 to Claude Haiku 4.5. The demonstrated setup uses API access and internet search; it does not demonstrate how to run models locally or operate offline.

For skills, the presenter installs Humanizer through a ClawHub link and checks that it is enabled. A daily debrief automation requests answers at 7 p.m., stores dated entries in daily_debrief.md and sends a reminder at 9 p.m. if there is no reply. The cron jobs menu provides a way to test it.

The final example enables Summarize and installs serp-analysis for YouTube research. The prompt requests ten results with metadata and an analysis of recurring angles and content gaps. The presenter then emails the report using a pre-installed email skill whose credentials were configured off-screen.
