Telegram and AI: Can Claude Help?

February 13, 2026

Another item about Telegram and its management methods.

Telegram’s developers watching Claude pumping out smart contracts and other code. Claude is Anthropic’s AI generative chatbot released a new CoWork tool that allows them to vibe audit smart contracts. Smart contacts are blockchain-based programs that carry out agreement terms when the conditions are met. The messaging platform been around for over a decade and are used everyday to everything from messages to crypto. One can follow developments in Iran and Ukraine with a click or two.

Protos has more of the details in the story, “Claude AI Plugins Can Now Vibe Code Smart Contracts.” Vibe auditing is similar to vibe coding and relies on AI to code the bulk of the labor. Developers can “outsource” work to Claude by activating its “skills” and asking it to complete code. It works like this:

“In today’s new age of crypto security, developers can simply activate so-called “skills” in Claude to outsource auditing work to an assortment of cybersecurity tools. For example, one Claude skill will ostensibly check specification-to-code compliance with blockchain audits. ‘Use this skill when you need to audit smart contracts against whitepapers or design documents,’ says a Trail of Bits whitehat hacker about their spec-to-code compliance skill.”

Developers can also use Claude skills to check variants of smart contract bugs using pattern based analysis. If a variant doesn’t exist that doesn’t mean there isn’t a bug. The developer might not have shared that code. A lot of Claude code is available via the Claude code marketplace.

One question: Has Telegram provided AI-centric tools to help its developers with the proprietary Telegram programming languages? I wonder if Telegram has been distracted from AI because of the impending trial of its founder Pavel Durov. He is the self-proclaimed GOAT or greatest of all time Russian technologists.

AI can be a useful tool for creating smart contracts. Will Telegram respond, or is it, like Apple, now in a defensive posture?
