Free Telegram AI Assistant Checklist for OpenClaw

A free checklist for people who want to set up OpenClaw as a personal AI assistant they can message from Telegram.

It covers the key setup decisions before you start configuring prompts: local vs VPS, Telegram bot setup, model choice, permissions, memory, automation/cron/heartbeats, and basic security checks.

The goal is to help builders avoid the usual “what should I configure first?” loop and get to a working private assistant faster.
