# Chat on Telegram

> Use SuperIntern on Telegram — private chat, group bots, ambient mode, topics, and reminders delivered right where you already message.

Telegram is the most popular way to use SuperIntern day to day. Run it in a private chat for personal delegation, or add it to a group to help your whole team.

***

## Setup

1. Search for **@SuperInternBot** on Telegram, or click the link shown in **Settings → Integrations → Telegram** in the web app.
2. Start a chat and send `/start`.
3. Follow the prompts to link your SuperIntern account.

Once linked, the Telegram icon in the web app sidebar turns green.

***

## Private Chat

In a private DM with your intern, every message you send is a command — there's no need to mention or tag it. Your intern responds to every message as your personal assistant, available 24/7:

```
Draft a LinkedIn post about our launch and show me before posting.
```

```
What's on my calendar tomorrow?
```

```
Remind me at 6pm to call the office.
```

```
Search for the latest news about our competitor and summarize it.
```

Reminders you set in Telegram are delivered back to you as Telegram messages at the scheduled time.

***

## Group Chat

Add your intern to a Telegram group to assist the whole team. In groups, the bot only responds when mentioned with its handle — this keeps it from interrupting every message in a busy channel:

```
@YourIntern summarize the decisions we made in this thread.
```

```
@YourIntern create a task for John: finish the wireframes by Wednesday.
```

```
@YourIntern what did we decide about the API timeline last week?
```

### Adding the bot to a group

In Telegram, open any group and add **@SuperInternBot** as a member. Your intern starts responding to @mentions immediately — no additional setup needed.

***

## Ambient Mode

In private chats, you can enable Ambient Mode. Your intern monitors the conversation passively and only speaks up when it detects something truly relevant — a commitment you made, a deadline, a question it can answer. It stays quiet the rest of the time.

```
Enable ambient mode.
```

To return to normal mode (responding to every message), message the bot directly:

```
Disable ambient mode.
```

Ambient Mode is designed for private chats where you want passive monitoring without interrupting your own flow. It's not available in groups.

***

## Topics

SuperIntern supports Telegram's group topics. Each topic carries its own context — different topics can run different ongoing tasks or track separate workflows. Your intern keeps topic conversations separate and won't bleed context from one topic into another.

<Note>
  There is a per-plan limit on the number of simultaneous topic connections. See [Billing](/billing) for details.

## What Stays in Sync

Sessions, tasks, memories, and contacts created in Telegram are fully synced with the web app and all other connected channels. Start a research task in Telegram, check its status in Discord, review the result on the web — everything lives in one place.

## Useful Commands

| Command  | What it does                         |
| -------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `/start` | Link your account or restart the bot |
| `/help`  | List available commands              |

For everything else, just talk naturally — commands are rarely needed.

<Tip>
  Keep your intern in Telegram even if you use the web app regularly. Telegram is the fastest way to send a quick delegation without opening a browser.
