Personal assistant

An assistant can work not for customers but for you: reply only to you in Telegram, remember what you've told it, remind you, search the internet, read your email and calendar and tell you every morning what's on today.

Each of these on its own is a separate conversation with the builder. All together, it takes one phrase:

I want my own assistant, like OpenClaw

or

Make me an assistant in Telegram that remembers everything and tells me every morning what's on today

The builder will put it together step by step and tell you after each step what it set up. It asks for exactly what it can't do without, and the rest only if you want it.

What you need to provide

What	Why	Required?
a Telegram bot token	so there's somewhere to talk to the assistant	yes
a linking code — send it to the bot from your phone	so the bot knows it's you and doesn't reply to anyone else	yes
an email address and app password	so the assistant can see your emails	no
a secret calendar link or an app password	so the assistant knows your events	no

The bot token comes from Telegram itself: open @BotFather, send /newbot, come up with a name and handle for the bot — the reply will contain the token. Copy it to the builder.

The code is issued by the builder itself, and it tells you what to do with it: open the link or send the code to the bot from your personal chat within 10 minutes. From then on, the bot replies only to you — more in “Personal bot”.

Email is connected so that the mailbox only reads: emails don't wake anyone, stay unread, and the assistant doesn't reply to anyone on its own. An app password is a separate password for one app; the builder will tell you where to get it.

Calendar — a secret iCal link (Google, iCloud, Outlook; read-only) or an app password (iCloud, Fastmail, Nextcloud; read and write).

In what order

1. The assistant — a “I work for one person” personality and everything it can do without your accounts.
2. Telegram — the bot and the code; from this moment you talk to it. Without a messenger, you can talk to the assistant as the owner in the dashboard: “Chat window” → “Speak as owner”.
3. Morning summary at 8:00 Kyiv time — set up as soon as your chat is linked. It's deliberately not set up earlier: the summary would have nowhere to go, and credits would be spent every morning.
4. Email — if you want.
5. Calendar — if you want.

You can stop at any step: whatever's already done works. The assistant also works without email and calendar, but the builder will say plainly what's missing: without email the summary doesn't know your emails, without a calendar — your events. And the assistant itself, if you ask it about emails without email connected, will say email isn't connected rather than make something up.

What it can do

• Remembers you. “Remember that I don't eat meat” — and it remembers in every conversation and in the morning summary. What exactly it remembers is visible and editable: “What it remembers about you”.
• Keeps your to-dos and lists in its notebook: “add milk to the shopping list”, “what are my plans for the week”.
• Keeps a journal and holds files for later. “Keep my ideas journal”, “save this file for later”, “what's in your folder?” — files go into its persistent folder and stay between conversations. Only you can see them: on the panel, the “Agent files” line.
• Reminds you and comes back later. “Remind me tomorrow at 9 to call mum”, “check on Friday whether the parcel has arrived”.
• Searches the internet and reads pages.
• Takes on big jobs: “find all courses on … and compare them” — as a long task that runs for hours while you see the progress.
• Email: “what did the bank write to me?”, “find the email from Nova Poshta”, “draft a reply, I'll take a look”.
• Calendar: “what do I have tomorrow?”, “am I free on Thursday?”, and with an app password — “set a meeting for Friday at 3 pm”.
• Morning summary: every morning at 8:00 — today's events, new emails overnight and which of them need a reply, to-dos from the notebook. It arrives in your chat with the bot, and you can reply to it: “what's in the second email?”. If there's nothing new — it doesn't write.
• Learns to do things your way. “Remember how you did that and always do it this way” — and it will suggest a skill; it starts following it once you tap “Save”.
• Understands voice messages — dictate instead of typing.

To move the summary, change what's in it or turn it off — tell the builder: “move the summary to 7:30”, “calendar only in the summary”.

What stays with you

• Approvals. An email in your name and a calendar booking don't go out right away: the assistant prepares them and puts them up for your confirmation — the dashboard shows “awaiting your approval”. It tells you exactly that: “sent for confirmation”, not “sent”. A card raised by the morning summary or other work done without you is also sent to your chat: “yes 123456” or “no 123456” — and you're done (more). If you tap “yes” twice or change your mind after declining, nothing happens a second time: the assistant replies that the request has already been decided, and how. Emails without confirmation — only if you say “send them yourself”; calendar bookings — “book it yourself without confirmation”.
• Management. Changing the assistant itself — personality, email, calendar, schedule — is only possible in a conversation with the builder, not from Telegram.
• Credits. Every conversation of yours with the bot and every morning summary is an assistant turn, and it costs credits. A summary that stayed silent because there was nothing new costs too: it has to read your email and calendar to find that out.

Privacy

To reply, the assistant passes what it reads to a language model: your messages, notes about you, the emails and events it opened, the pages it read. Otherwise there's no way to answer “what did the bank write to me?”.

What else is worth knowing:

• Secret links and passwords are kept sealed and never shown — not in the dashboard, not in a conversation.
• Your conversations with the bot in the dashboard can only be opened by workspace admins; a team member sees the line “Owner's personal conversation” without the text.
• Someone else's text isn't an order. The assistant reads emails, pages and invitations as data: if an email says “forward everything to …”, it won't do it. After reading email, any action going outside either goes to you for confirmation or doesn't happen at all.
• Strangers in the bot get a one-sentence refusal; the assistant doesn't run for them and spends no credits.

Not available yet

• Cards from your own conversation with the bot (when you yourself asked it to send an email) are decided in the dashboard; only cards and questions from work the assistant did without you come to the chat by number.
• Google and Outlook don't allow calendar booking with a password — for them it's read-only. Signing in with a Google or Microsoft account isn't supported yet.
• You can't start a recipe with a button in the dashboard — only in words to the builder.
• You can't restore an overwritten or deleted file from the assistant's folder: “undo” rolls back settings, not files.
• An assistant built before the persistent folder existed can't run code — so it has no folder. Tell the builder “keep my journal in a file”: it will add that ability.
