I tried letting AI read my Telegram chats for me. It actually worked.

After my last post about feeling overwhelmed by information in Telegram, I started thinking more concretely about what I actually want from a tool like this.

It turned out to be surprisingly simple.

Two core things.

The first one is getting answers to specific questions.
Instead of reading hundreds of messages, I want to ask: was this discussed? is there anything relevant here? — and get a clear answer.
Basically, someone (or something) reads the chat for me and extracts what matters.

The second one is not missing important things.
There are chats and channels I care about, but I don’t have time to constantly check them.
So I wanted some kind of digest — maybe once a day — with only the things that are actually relevant to me: key topics, signals, or updates based on what I’m looking for.

To test if this idea even works, I started with a very minimal version.
No attempt to build a full product — just enough to see if the core loop makes sense.

And honestly, the result surprised me a bit.

In some cases, I don’t need to read the chat at all anymore.
I can ask a question, get a usable answer, and only open the chat if I want to go deeper — instead of scrolling through everything.

That changes the whole experience.

That said, there are still a lot of open questions.
How reliable can these answers be?
How should prompts be structured?
How to make “subscriptions” useful instead of just adding more noise?

At this point, I feel like this can’t be solved in isolation — it needs real usage and real feedback.

So I’m curious:

If you had an AI assistant for Telegram —

— what tasks would you give it first?
— and would you be interested in testing something like this on your own chats?

Would really appreciate any thoughts 🙌
