Pair Telegram
Connecting WednesdayAI on Telegram is the simplest pairing of any channel — there is no QR code to scan. You just find the bot your administrator set up and send it a message.What you need
- Telegram installed on your phone or computer
- The bot username from your administrator (e.g.
@MyAIBot)
Steps
1. Get the bot username from your administrator
Your administrator set up a Telegram bot when configuring WednesdayAI. Ask them for the bot’s username — it starts with@ and ends in Bot.
2. Open a chat with the bot
In Telegram, tap the search icon and type the bot username. Select it and tap Start. Or open this link (replaceYourBotName with the actual username):
3. Send your first message
Tap Start in the chat, or just type a message. Your AI will respond within a few seconds. That’s it — you’re connected.Group chats
If your administrator has added the bot to a Telegram group, you can chat with your AI in that group too. To get the AI’s attention in a group, either:- Mention the bot by username:
@YourBotName what is the weather today? - Reply to one of the bot’s previous messages
Tips
- Notifications — make sure Telegram notifications are enabled so you see replies on your phone.
- Multiple devices — Telegram works across all your devices simultaneously. You can start a conversation on your phone and continue on desktop.
