Messaging channels
Connect a messaging channel to talk to your assistant from your phone or team chat — while the Brain, your memory, and your data stay on your computer. Only the messages you exchange travel through the channel; the assistant still runs locally.
Available channels
- Telegram — a personal companion bot.
- Discord — reach your assistant from a Discord server or DM.
- Slack — connect a Slack workspace.
Connecting Telegram
Open Settings → Messaging → Telegram and follow the guided setup. In short:
- The app helps you create your own bot and captures its token.
- You pair your account by tapping a link (or scanning a QR code) — the app auto-detects your account so you never have to copy numeric IDs by hand.
- The companion connects, and only you (the paired account) can talk to it.
Your bot token and the allowlist are stored on your device. Messaging stays local-first: the only service contacted is the messaging platform itself.
Connecting Discord or Slack
Open Settings → Messaging and choose the channel, then follow the on-screen steps to authorize the app and pair your account.
Privacy note
Messages you send through a channel pass through that platform (Telegram, Discord, or Slack) and are subject to that platform's terms and privacy policy. Everything the assistant remembers and does still lives on your device. See Privacy & sovereignty.
