Do things you
couldn't do before.

You’ll use BotFather — Telegram’s official bot that creates other bots. It’s normal if the first screen looks unfamiliar; follow the steps in order.

1. Install Telegram if you don’t have it — phone or desktop: telegram.org/apps.
2. Open the Telegram app and tap the search field. Type @BotFather and open the chat (blue checkmark = official).
3. Tap Start or START. Then send /newbot and answer the questions (bot display name and username ending in bot).
4. BotFather will reply with a long line like 123456789:AAH... — that is your bot token. Copy the whole thing.
5. Paste that token below and tap Connect Telegram.

Optional: Open @BotFather in Telegram Web — if you see a “Start” screen without chat, use the Telegram app and search for @BotFather instead.

Your bot token is saved — messages to your bot will reach this agent. Next, open Telegram and talk to your bot (same experience as “Chat with …” on this site).

Do this on your phone or desktop:

1. Open the Telegram app.
2. Tap Search (magnifying glass) and type your bot’s username — the one you picked with BotFather when you ran /newbot (it usually ends in bot).
3. Open the chat with your bot. Tap Start or send any message (for example “Hello”).
4. Wait for a reply — that’s your agent. If nothing happens within a minute, check that you’re messaging your bot, not BotFather.

Open your bot in Telegram

Don’t remember the username? In Telegram, find your chat with @BotFather — your bot’s name is in the message where you received the token.

Discord bots are created in the Developer Portal (a website). You’ll create an “application,” add a bot, then paste a few values here.

1. Install Discord and log in (free account).
2. Open the Developer Portal → New Application → pick a name → create.
3. Left sidebar: Bot → Add Bot → copy the bot token (keep it secret).
4. Left sidebar: General Information → copy Application ID and the Public Key (64 characters under “PUBLIC KEY”).
5. After you connect below, you’ll get an Interactions URL — you’ll paste it into the Portal in the next steps.

✓ Connected to Sired

Finish setup in Discord, then try the /chat command in a server.

1. Copy your Interactions URL

Paste this in Developer Portal → your app → General → Interactions → URL, then Save.

If this is empty, open Developer Portal → your app → Interactions — the URL should match your Sired endpoint, or reconnect Discord here to refresh it.

2. Invite the bot to a server

You must add the bot before you can use commands. Use the same Discord account you use for the Portal.

Invite bot to a server

3. Talk to your agent

1. Open Discord (app or web) and go to a server where you invited the bot.
2. Pick any text channel the bot can see.
3. Type /chat — choose the message option if Discord asks — and send a short question (e.g. “Hello”).
4. Wait for a reply. If nothing happens, confirm the Interactions URL is saved and the bot is online in the member list.

Slash commands can take a minute to appear in a new server. If /chat doesn’t show up, wait a moment and try again.

We can give your agent its own phone number so customers can text it. You don’t need Twilio yourself — we provision the number when the service is available.

1. Use a real mobile phone for your own testing — standard text messaging rates may apply.
2. Tap Get a phone number below. When it succeeds, we’ll show next steps and the number to share.

✓ Your number is ready

People can text this number to reach your agent — same brain as chat on the web.

Your number

Test it

1. On your phone, open your normal SMS / Messages app (not Discord or Telegram).
2. Start a new text to the number above.

Share it

Put this number on your site, email signature, or business card so customers can text your agent. Carrier messaging rates apply for you and them.
