Telechat lets you self-host Claude AI across chat apps

Telechat is a self-hosted Claude AI bot that connects to Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, and web chat from a single Node.js or Python process. It routes queries to the cheapest Claude model, saving about 60% on API costs, and includes budget caps, persistent SQLite memory, and remote approval for desktop actions. Installation is via npm, pip, or Docker, with no relay server or telemetry.
