Before you start
Make sure you have a Telegram account, a Telegram channel you control, permission to add the bot as an admin in that channel, and a Groq API key or a way to create one.
Step 1: Start the bot
Open the bot in Telegram and run /start. Then review /help, /setup, and /groq_help.
Step 2: Connect your Groq API key
Run /ai. If you do not already have a Groq API key, open /groq_help. The bot uses a BYOK model, so AI generation runs through the user’s own Groq account.
Step 3: Add the bot to your channel
Before using /connect, add the bot to your Telegram channel as an administrator.
Step 4: Connect the channel
Run /connect, then either forward any post from the channel to the bot or send the channel_id manually in the -1001234567890 format.
Step 5: Fill the channel profile
Run /profile. This is strongly recommended because it gives the bot structured context about what the channel is about, who it is for, how the author sounds, and what themes belong in the channel.
Step 6: Teach the bot with real posts
Optional but recommended: use /teach and forward several older posts from the connected channel. This helps the bot learn the real style rather than relying only on abstract profile inputs.
Step 7: Generate your first post
Run /post your idea here. Then use the draft actions to publish, edit the text, regenerate, refresh the photo, or upload your own photo.
