Usage

1

Set up your virtual environment

uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate
2

Set Environment Variables

export TELEGRAM_TOKEN_BASIC=bot-token-for-basic-agent
export TELEGRAM_TOKEN_RESEARCH=bot-token-for-research-agent
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
export APP_ENV=development
3

Install dependencies

uv pip install -U "agno[telegram]"
4

Run Example

python multiple_instances.py
5

Register Webhooks

Register a webhook for each bot token:
curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_TOKEN_BASIC}/setWebhook?url=${NGROK_URL}/basic/webhook"
curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_TOKEN_RESEARCH}/setWebhook?url=${NGROK_URL}/web-research/webhook"

​
Key Features

  • Prefix-Based Routing: Each agent gets its own webhook path (/basic/webhook, /web-research/webhook)
  • Shared Server: Both agents run on a single AgentOS instance
  • Separate Bot Tokens: Each interface uses its own BotFather bot (Telegram allows only one webhook per token)
  • Shared Database: Both agents share the same SQLite database
