What do I need to set up?

Open the Telegram trigger and pick your bot, which registers the webhook, then do the same on the two Telegram send nodes. Everything else runs as installed.

Will it act without asking?

Not for anything irreversible. Those actions stop for your approval.

Does it only answer when I ask?

No. It also sends a briefing every weekday morning and alerts you if something breaks.

Autonomous AgentAI Assistant Telegram Bot: Your Chief of StaffTalk to it between meetings. It reads your calendar, researches what you ask, and writes your email - then stops and waits for your thumb before anything actually sends. Every weekday at 07:00 it tells you what your day looks like without being asked. Setup is a Telegram bot and one Google connection.

Autonomous AgentTelegram Voice Assistant That Answers Out LoudSend your agent a voice note on Telegram and it answers out loud. Ask it to look something up and it does it and tells you. Ask it to email someone and the draft comes to you for approval first - you hear what it wrote before anyone else does. Works with typed messages too.

Autonomous AgentAI Job Search Assistant with a Daily ShortlistA real working agent. Every weekday it searches for roles matching your brief, picks the ones actually worth your time, and emails you a shortlist with its reasoning. Sending the email is queued for your approval the first time, so you see exactly what it wrote before anyone else does.

Autonomous AgentAI Social Media Manager with Your ApprovalA real working agent. It researches what is currently getting attention in your field, drafts a post in your voice, and publishes it. Publishing is irreversible, so it is always queued for your approval first - you approve or reject from Telegram or the app, and nothing goes out until you do.

Autonomous AgentSlack Weekly Summary by an AI AgentA real working agent with a low-risk brief. It reviews the week and posts a short digest to Slack. Posting to a channel you own is reversible, so this one usually runs without stopping for approval - a good first agent to watch work end to end.

BusinessAI Content Calendar: Google Sheets to X, LinkedIn & Facebook, Approved on WhatsAppPlan your posts in a Google Sheet and let it run while you are away. Every hour it checks the calendar: posts due in the next day are written for X, LinkedIn and Facebook in your brand voice (from a brand-guide Doc), and image posts are designed on your own pre-designed background, following a reference image from Google Drive. Each draft comes to your WhatsApp; reply "approve 12" and it posts at its time, or "post 12 now", "skip 12", "redo 12: shorter". Links to the live posts are written back to the sheet. Nothing is posted without your approval.
