Tips

  • Privacy mode: By default, bots in Telegram groups only see messages that mention them or start with /. If you want Kimi Claw to see all group messages, disable Privacy Mode via BotFather (/setprivacy → Disable).
  • Multiple bots: You can create multiple Telegram bots and connect them to the same Kimi Claw instance.
  • Token security: Never share your bot token publicly. If compromised, revoke it via BotFather (/revoke) and configure a new one.
