Crabo AI is the powerful, open-source framework that lets you deploy a sophisticated, LLM-agnostic AI assistant directly into any Telegram chat. Deliver incredible user experiences without the platform lock-in.
Building a custom AI chatbot for Telegram often means:
Being locked into a single LLM provider (like OpenAI).
Facing soaring API costs as your user base grows.
Dealing with complex infrastructure just to get started.
Sacrificing privacy and data control.
Plug in any model you want. Seamlessly switch between OpenAI's GPT, Anthropic's Claude, open-source models from Hugging Face, or even your own custom model. You are in control.
Transparency, flexibility, and community-driven development. Audit the code, suggest features, and contribute. Build with confidence on a foundation you can trust.
Get your chatbot live in minutes, not days. Our simple setup process and detailed documentation get you from zero to AI hero on Telegram faster than ever.
Self-host with ease. Keep your data on your own infrastructure. Perfect for businesses with strict compliance requirements or developers who prioritize user privacy.
Clone our GitHub repo and deploy to your favorite cloud provider (VPS, Railway, Heroku, etc.).
Plug in your preferred LLM API keys and customize your bot's personality and commands.
Add your new bot to Telegram channels, groups, or offer it as a one-on-one assistant.
Automate FAQs, moderate discussions, and engage members 24/7 in your Telegram groups and channels.
Provide instant, intelligent customer support and lead qualification directly through a familiar messaging app.
Create a personalized AI assistant, experiment with different LLMs, and build cool projects on a robust open-source foundation.
We believe in transparency. Our code is free. Your costs are predictable.
"Crabo AI's agnostic approach let us cut our LLM costs by 60% by switching to a mix of models. A game-changer for our community."
"The documentation was so clear I had my first bot running in under an hour. The open-source model means I can truly make it my own."

It means Crabo AI is designed to work with any large language model. You can easily configure it to use OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models like Llama 3, or others without changing the core bot code.
Yes, the software itself is 100% free and open-source (MIT License). You only incur costs based on the API pricing of the LLM provider you choose (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4 costs, Anthropic's Claude costs).
Basic comfort with the command line and cloud services is recommended for self-hosting. However, our goal is to make the setup as simple as possible. When we launch Crabo Cloud, no technical skills will be required.
Absolutely. The MIT license explicitly allows for commercial use.
