Running Multiple Telegram Bots on a Single AI Agent for Parallel Tasks

A developer on r/openclaw shared a solution for handling parallel work with AI agents by connecting multiple Telegram bots to a single agent instance.

How It Works

The setup involves creating three separate Telegram bots that all bind to the same underlying AI agent. From the user's perspective, each bot feels like an independent agent with its own chat interface and conversation history, and they run independently without waiting for each other to finish tasks.

Technical Details

Under the hood, all three bots share:

• The same workspace
• The same memory
• The same learnings

When one bot figures something out and writes it down, the others can pick it up immediately. The sessions remain separate, preventing the bots from interfering with each other's work, but they benefit from shared context through the common workspace.

Practical Use Case

The developer can send different types of coding tasks simultaneously:

• Refactor tasks to one bot
• Bug fixes to another bot
• Test writing to the third bot

This approach directly addresses the common problem where users have to wait for their agent to finish one task before asking it something else.
