I stopped switching between AI apps. I built a personal assistant in Telegram. It lives in a private chat. It handles my daily tasks.
I use three home machines with Ollama. A Mac Mini, a PC, and an Ubuntu box. A Python bot routes my messages to the right model.
Why Telegram?
- I use it every day.
- It works on my phone and watch.
- It handles voice and photos.
How I use it:
- Summarize links.
- Explain code errors.
- Voice notes during hikes.
- Review forwarded code.
- Search my own project docs.
Lessons from six months:
- Hardware fails. Use auto-restarts.
- AI hallucinates. Verify critical answers.
- Silence is a failure. Use fallback models.
- Log everything. It makes debugging fast.
My setup vs ChatGPT Plus:
- Cost: $0 vs $20.
- Privacy: Local vs Cloud.
- Control: I pick the models.
The best AI tool removes friction. It stays in the app you already use. It works without API keys or browser tabs.
