Open Viro

    Telegram

    Chat with Viro in Telegram, on your phone or computer. No phone number is shared: Viro sees only your Telegram account. Everything you can do with Text Viro works there.

    How do I connect Telegram?

    1. Open Text Viro

      In the Viro app, select Text Viro in the sidebar, under Today.
    2. Tick both boxes

      Agree to the Terms of Service and confirm you understand Viro is an AI.
    3. Select Connect next to Telegram

      Telegram opens a chat with Viro AI.
    4. Tap Start

      Viro says hello, and Telegram shows Connected on the Text Viro page. Send your first message.

    Tap Start within 15 minutes of selecting Connect. If the link has run out, select Connect again.

    What to expect

    • A 👀 reaction: Viro reacts to your message while it writes, and the reaction clears once the answer arrives.
    • Formatting: bold text and links come through as they would in the app.
    • One-on-one only: Viro answers in your private chat with it, not in groups or channels.
    • Photos and voice notes: send either one and Viro reads the photo or listens to the note, then answers. For other files, use the app.
    • Your chat in the app: the conversation also appears in Viro as a chat named Telegram.

    How do I stop or disconnect?

    Open Text Viro, select the ⋯ menu next to Telegram, and choose Disconnect. Blocking Viro AI in Telegram also stops it. Unblocking doesn't turn it back on: select Connect on the Text Viro page again.
