Honestly not sure what I would be using this for when there's Claude remote control? Is it because you can script the telegram bot to send messages at regular intervals? But Claude has a /loop as well, so I'm still confused.
The Telegram bot is just an example (and I guess a subtle jab at Openclaw, which people tend to use via Telegram). Personally I'm hoping to set this up so it can receive Github webhooks when a pull request opened by Claude Code receives comments.
You can't send an image for example from Claude iOS app to remote control session. With this new channels the attachment you send from Telegram bot is saved into your local Telegram inbox folder ready for you to process.
