# LettaBot
Your personal AI assistant that remembers everything across **Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, and Signal**. Powered by the [Letta Code SDK](https://github.com/letta-ai/letta-code-sdk).
<img width="750" alt="lettabot-preview" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9f01b845-d5b0-447b-927d-ae15f9ec7511" />
## Features
- **Multi-Channel** - Chat seamlessly across Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, and Signal
- **Unified Memory** - Single agent remembers everything from all channels
- **Persistent Memory** - Agent remembers conversations across sessions (days/weeks/months)
- **Local Tool Execution** - Agent can read files, search code, run commands on your machine
- **Heartbeat** - Periodic check-ins where the agent reviews tasks
- **Scheduling** - Agent can create one-off reminders and recurring tasks
- **Streaming Responses** - Real-time message updates as the agent thinks
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- A Letta API key from [app.letta.com](https://app.letta.com) (or a running [Letta Docker server](https://docs.letta.com/guides/docker/))
- A Telegram bot token from [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather)
### Install
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/letta-ai/lettabot.git
cd lettabot
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build and link the CLI globally
npm run build
npm link
```
#### Optional: Run a Letta Docker server
You can use `lettabot` with a Docker server with:
```
docker run \
-v ~/.letta/.persist/pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
-p 8283:8283 \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key" \
letta/letta:latest
```
See the [documentation](https://docs.letta.com/guides/docker/) for more details on running with Docker.
### Setup
Run the interactive onboarding wizard:
```bash
lettabot onboard
```
### Run
```bash
lettabot server
```
That's it! Message your bot on Telegram.
## Skills
LettaBot is compatible with [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) and [Clawdhub](https://clawdhub.com/).
```bash
# from Clawdhub

### Home Assistant
Control your smart home with LettaBot:

npx clawdhub@latest install homeassistant
# 2. Enable the skill
lettabot skills sync
# Select "homeassistant" from the list
# 3. Configure credentials (see skill docs for details)
# You'll need: HA URL + Long-Lived Access Token

Then ask your bot things like:
- "Turn off the living room lights"
- "What's the temperature in the bedroom?"
- "Set the thermostat to 72"
## CLI Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `lettabot onboard` | Interactive setup wizard |
| `lettabot server` | Start the bot server |
| `lettabot configure` | View and edit configuration |
| `lettabot skills status` | Show enabled and available skills |
| `lettabot destroy` | Delete all local data and start fresh |
| `lettabot help` | Show help |
## Channel Setup
LettaBot uses a **single agent with a single conversation** across all channels:
```
Telegram ──┐
Slack ─────┤
Discord ───┼──→ ONE AGENT ──→ ONE CONVERSATION
WhatsApp ──┤ (memory) (chat history)
Signal ────┘
```
- Start a conversation on Telegram
- Continue it on Slack
- Pick it up on WhatsApp
- The agent remembers everything!
| Channel | Guide | Requirements |
|---------|-------|--------------|
| Telegram | [Setup Guide](docs/getting-started.md) | Bot token from @BotFather |
| Slack | [Setup Guide](docs/slack-setup.md) | Slack app with Socket Mode |
| Discord | [Setup Guide](docs/discord-setup.md) | Discord bot + Message Content Intent |
| WhatsApp | [Setup Guide](docs/whatsapp-setup.md) | Phone with WhatsApp |
| Signal | [Setup Guide](docs/signal-setup.md) | signal-cli + phone number |
At least one channel is required. Telegram is the easiest to start with.
## Bot Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/start` | Welcome message and help |
| `/status` | Show current session info |
| `/heartbeat` | Manually trigger a heartbeat check-in |
## Connect to Letta Code
Any LettaBot agent can also be directly chatted with through [Letta Code](https://github.com/letta-ai/letta-code). Use the `/status` command to find your `agent_id`, and run:
```sh
letta --agent <agent_id>
```
## Security
### Network Architecture
**LettaBot uses outbound connections only** - no public URL or gateway required:
| Channel | Connection Type | Exposed Ports |
|---------|-----------------|---------------|
| Telegram | Long-polling (outbound HTTP) | None |
| Slack | Socket Mode (outbound WebSocket) | None |
| Discord | Gateway (outbound WebSocket) | None |
| WhatsApp | Outbound WebSocket via Baileys | None |
| Signal | Local daemon on 127.0.0.1 | None |
### Tool Execution
By default, the agent is restricted to **read-only** operations:
- `Read`, `Glob`, `Grep` - File exploration
- `web_search` - Internet queries
- `conversation_search` - Search past messages
### Access Control
LettaBot supports pairing-based access control. When `TELEGRAM_DM_POLICY=pairing`:
1. Unauthorized users get a pairing code
2. You approve codes via `lettabot pairing approve telegram <CODE>`
3. Approved users can then chat with the bot
## Development
```bash
# Run in development mode (auto-reload)
npm run dev
# Build for production
npm run build
# Start production server
lettabot server
```
## Troubleshooting
### WhatsApp
**Session errors / "Bad MAC" messages**
These are normal Signal Protocol renegotiation messages. They're noisy but harmless.
**Messages going to wrong chat**
Clear the session and re-link:
```bash
rm -rf ./data/whatsapp-session
lettabot server # Scan QR again
```
### Signal
**Port 8090 already in use**
```bash
SIGNAL_HTTP_PORT=8091
```
### General
**Agent not responding**
Delete the agent store to create a fresh agent:
```bash
lettabot destroy
```
