Telegram + Grok integration
Connect Telegram to Grok
ConnectChats brings your Telegram chats into Grok. Ask Grok 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 Grok can do with your Telegram
ConnectChats gives Grok a small set of tools. Grok calls them when you ask about your Telegram chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Grok 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. Grok searches your Telegram history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Grok 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.

How Telegram and Grok 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 Grok
Grok supports custom connectors that point at a remote MCP server. You add ConnectChats once on grok.com, sign in with your passkey, and Grok can use the chats you share when you ask about them. xAI says connectors are available to all Grok users. Custom connectors are added on grok.com. On Grok Business and Enterprise, a team admin adds the connector in the xAI console first, then each member connects their own account. Grok lists the ConnectChats tools after you connect, so you can see what it is able to call.
Your Telegram stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Grok only sees the Telegram chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Grok 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 Grok read my Telegram messages?
Yes, once you link Telegram in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Grok. Grok reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Grok send Telegram messages for me?
Grok 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 Grok 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 Grok 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.
Is Grok on X the same as Grok on grok.com?
They use the same Grok account. Add ConnectChats at grok.com/connectors, which is where xAI manages connectors.
Can Grok send messages without asking?
No. Grok can only create drafts, which you approve in ConnectChats, unless you turn on auto-send for a specific chat.
