Part of the [Telegram setup guide](https://sealgate.ai/connect/telegram) , which covers every agent and how the connection works under the hood. Paste this into your coding agent, or run it yourself in a terminal. Please help me connect Telegram to ChatGPT through SealGate on my machine. If I do not already have a SealGate account, have me sign up at https://dashboard.sealgate.ai/start/personal-messaging?utm_source=sealgate.ai&utm_campaign=seo-connect&utm_content=telegram-chatgpt first, since starting there pre-approves the Beeper connector. Then follow the setup steps at https://sealgate.ai/connect/telegram/chatgpt.md and stop whenever I need to act myself: approving this device in the browser when the installer asks, and, only if I already had an account, approving the Beeper connector in the SealGate dashboard. Requires macOS or Windows (Linux is experimental) with the Beeper desktop app installed. ## Connecting ChatGPT ChatGPT adds the SealGate gateway as a custom MCP connector, so it works from the ChatGPT web and mobile apps, not just a desktop tool. See the [ChatGPT setup guide](https://sealgate.ai/docs/connect-clients/chatgpt) for the exact steps. ## What ChatGPT can do with Telegram - Monitor large community group chats and surface the insights that matter to you. - Summarize the channels you follow into a short daily digest. - Draft and send replies across your busiest conversations. - Search your Telegram history to find a link, file, or decision. Ready to let ChatGPT handle your Telegram? Paste the setup prompt into your coding agent and you are connected in a couple of minutes. Copy setup prompt [New to SealGate?

Yes. ChatGPT can add the SealGate gateway as an MCP connector, which exposes your Telegram tools. Because a local daemon tunnels the connector out, it works from the ChatGPT apps, not just a tool running on your machine. Can my AI agent read and send Telegram messages? Yes. Once connected through SealGate, your agent can read chats, groups, and channels and send messages, from local tools or cloud apps like ChatGPT and Claude. Does it use a bot or my real account? Your real account, through the Beeper desktop app, so the agent sees the same conversations you do rather than only the channels a bot has been added to. Can it watch busy group chats for me? Yes. A common use is lurking on large community groups and channels to summarize activity and flag the messages worth your attention. What does SealGate store about my messages? SealGate routes each tool call to your connector and back, holding the request and response in memory only long enough to apply your policies, then discarding them. That check is automated: the gateway inspects the traffic programmatically to enforce your rules, and no one at SealGate can read your messages. They are never persisted and never used to train any model. SealGate keeps only call metadata (which tool ran, when, and which agent ran it), never the tool-call parameters or results, so your conversations and who you are talking to are never stored on SealGate's servers. Does it work with cloud agents, not just CLI tools? Yes. A small local daemon called stdiod tunnels your local Telegram connector to any cloud or mobile agent, so apps like ChatGPT and Claude can use it too, not just CLI tools on the same machine.
