Channel Integrations
Genie is not limited to the browser. Through channel integrations, you can connect your environment to messaging platforms and interact with your system from anywhere.
Channels extend your AI assistant beyond the dashboard, making it accessible through the tools you already use daily.
Available Channels
Telegram
Telegram is the simplest way to connect Genie to your phone. Once linked, you can message your AI assistant directly, receive responses in real time, and interact with your environment without opening a browser.
Setup takes less than two minutes.
You can use the official Genie bot or bring your own custom bot if you prefer more control.
Discord
Discord integration allows you to bring Genie into your server. This is particularly useful for teams, where multiple members can interact with the AI in shared channels.
You can set up a custom bot using the Discord Developer Portal and connect it to your Genie account.
WhatsApp
WhatsApp integration is currently in development and will be available soon.
How Channels Work
When you send a message through Telegram or Discord:
Your message is securely routed through the Genie Gateway
The AI processes it using your server context
A response is returned instantly to your messaging platform
The AI operates with the same awareness it has in the browser. It can reference your files, understand your setup, and assist with tasks — regardless of which platform you are using.
Access Control
When someone attempts to interact with your AI through a connected channel, they may require approval.
You can manage access requests from your settings. This ensures that only authorized users can interact with your environment.
Your AI has access to your server context, so controlling who can use it is important for privacy and security.
Gateway Devices
Gateway devices allow you to connect physical devices like phones, tablets, or local machines directly to your Genie server.
This enables features like mobile commands, local file sync, and device-to-server communication.
Most users will not need this initially, but it becomes useful as your workflow expands beyond the browser.
Using Multiple Channels
You can connect all available channels at the same time. Each one connects to the same environment, so your context is always consistent.
A common setup might include:
Browser for focused development sessions
Telegram for quick checks and mobile access
Discord for team collaboration
All interactions operate on the same underlying system.
Credits and Channels
Using AI through messaging platforms consumes credits, just like using it in the browser. Each message interaction counts toward your daily allocation.
If you use channels frequently, ensure your plan provides enough credits to support your workflow.
