Is Beam AI good for Telegram bots?
Beam AI supports Telegram as one of many channels. If Telegram is your primary use case, Hiregents is purpose-built — private server, 5-minute self-serve deploy, flat pricing.
Can I self-host instead of using Hiregents or Beam?
Yes. Hiregents agents are SKILL.md files running on the open OpenClaw framework — you can self-host the same files. Hiregents handles the server, security, backups, and updates so you don't have to.
