Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• A Letta API key from app.letta.com (or a running Letta Docker server)
• A Telegram bot token from @BotFather

Install

# 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 for more details on running with Docker.

Setup

Option 1: AI-Assisted Setup (Recommended)

Paste this into Letta Code, Claude Code, Codex CLI, or any AI coding assistant:

Clone https://github.com/letta-ai/lettabot, read the SKILL.md
for setup instructions, and help me configure Telegram.

You'll need:

• A Letta API key from app.letta.com (or a Letta Docker server)
• A Telegram bot token from @BotFather

The AI will handle the rest: cloning, installing dependencies, reading setup docs, and configuring your bot.

Option 2: Interactive Wizard

For manual step-by-step setup:

git clone https://github.com/letta-ai/lettabot.git
cd lettabot
npm install && npm run build && npm link
lettabot onboard

Run

lettabot server

That's it! Message your bot on Telegram.

Note: For detailed environment variable reference and multi-channel setup, see SKILL.md

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	Bot token from @BotFather
Slack	Setup Guide	Slack app with Socket Mode
Discord	Setup Guide	Discord bot + Message Content Intent
WhatsApp	Setup Guide	Phone with WhatsApp
Signal	Setup Guide	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. Use the /status command to find your agent_id, and run:

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

# Run in development mode (auto-reload)
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Start production 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:

rm -rf ./data/whatsapp-session
lettabot server  # Scan QR again

Signal

Port 8090 already in use

SIGNAL_HTTP_PORT=8091

General
