Telegram Digest Bot FAQs

Question 1

What is the Telegram Digest Bot and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The Telegram Digest Bot is a self-hosted personal AI assistant that monitors all your Telegram activity (DMs, groups, channels). It uses Claude AI to detect questions, learns from your replies to build a Q&A knowledge base, generates personalized daily digests, and exposes your data for querying via an MCP server.

Question 2

How does it help me manage my Telegram messages and avoid information overload?

Accepted Answer

It intelligently detects questions requiring your attention, creates a searchable Q&A knowledge base from your past answers, and sends you a prioritized daily summary of important activity, ensuring you don't miss crucial conversations while filtering out noise.

Question 3

How does the bot learn from my answers to build a Q&A knowledge base?

Accepted Answer

When the bot detects a question directed at you, and you reply to it, the Q&A pair is saved and embedded into a local ChromaDB. This allows for semantic search, so if a similar question arises later, the bot can suggest your previous answer.

Question 4

Can I access my collected Telegram data programmatically or with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the bot includes an MCP server that exposes your Telegram data (messages, Q&A pairs, chat summaries) to Claude Code. This allows you to ask complex questions about your Telegram activity directly from any Claude Code project.

Question 5

What are the requirements to set up and run the Telegram Digest Bot?

Accepted Answer

To get started, you'll need Telegram API credentials (api_id & api_hash), a Telegram Bot token, an Anthropic API key for Claude AI, and Docker installed on your system. It's designed for straightforward self-hosting.
