Train, couch, cafe, bed. It reads my TickTick tasks, writes code against my repos, runs shell commands on my VPS, and sends me a morning briefing at 06:30 Madrid time. The whole thing is a bash script and a systemd unit. No frontend. No hosting bill. No auth pages to build.</p> <p>This guide walks through exactly how to build one. Two architectures (bash long-polling and a TypeScript webhook server), full runnable code, attachment handling, MCP tool integration, and the security steps most tutorials skip. The primary stack is a Telegram bot Claude API wiring that runs on any Linux box with a few hundred megs of RAM.</p>
