Telegram + Gemini integration
Connect Telegram to Gemini
ConnectChats brings your Telegram chats into Gemini. Ask Gemini to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Gemini can do with your Telegram
ConnectChats gives Gemini a small set of tools. Gemini calls them when you ask about your Telegram chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Gemini reads your unread Telegram chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Gemini searches your Telegram history and quotes the message.

Draft replies
Gemini writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Telegram account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

Ask Gemini about your Telegram
Open a new conversation in Gemini and ask about your chats. Gemini calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Telegram and Gemini work together
ConnectChats signs in to your Telegram account as a new session, the same way Telegram Desktop does, and brings in your private chats and groups. Because Telegram keeps chats in the cloud, it does not depend on your phone being online.

Telegram in ConnectChats
Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Private chats and groups are supported. Secret chats are not, because Telegram keeps them only on the device where they were started. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions. ConnectChats shows up as an active session in Telegram under Settings, Devices, where you can end it at any time. The free plan links 2 chat apps and keeps messages for 30 days.

ConnectChats in Gemini
The Gemini web app can add custom apps from an MCP server URL on eligible accounts. Add ConnectChats once, sign in with your passkey, and pick it with @ in any prompt where you want Gemini to see your chats. Google limits custom apps in Gemini to people 18 or older in the US, signed in with a personal Google account, in English, with Keep Activity on. Work and school accounts are not supported. Custom apps are connected in the Gemini web app, then also work in the Gemini mobile app. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Gemini without linking them again. ConnectChats only sees the chats you choose to share, and it asks for your approval before any reply is sent.
Your Telegram stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Gemini only sees the Telegram chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Gemini prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Telegram, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can Gemini read my Telegram messages?
Yes, once you link Telegram in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Gemini. Gemini reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Gemini send Telegram messages for me?
Gemini can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own Telegram account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the Telegram to Gemini integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Gemini and link Telegram from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link Telegram once and use it everywhere.
Does my phone need to stay online for Telegram?
No. Telegram stores your chats in its cloud, so ConnectChats keeps receiving messages whether your phone is on or off.
Does it read Telegram secret chats?
No. Secret chats are kept only on the device where they were started, and Telegram does not share them with other sessions. Regular private chats and groups work.
What do I need to link Telegram?
The phone number of your Telegram account and the Telegram app, where the login code arrives. If you set a two-step verification password, you need that too.
Can I use ConnectChats with Gemini today?
Yes, on accounts where Gemini offers custom apps. Add ConnectChats with https://api.connectchats.com/mcp in the Gemini web app under Settings, Connected Apps, then sign in with your passkey.
Will it work with a Google Workspace account?
No. Google does not offer custom apps in Gemini for work or school accounts, so use ConnectChats with a personal Google account.
