A chat on your phone instead of a control panel#
You do not need a special program or a screen full of settings to work with your agents. You talk to them in Telegram, a free chat app for your phone and computer, the same way you message a friend.
Each agent can have its own chat. You write to it in plain words, and it answers in plain words.
What you can write#
Ordinary sentences are enough. For example:
- "What did you finish last night?"
- "Make tomorrow's video about the three most common beginner mistakes."
- "The opening is too slow. Make it again with a stronger first sentence."
- "Summarise the five newest emails from customers."
- "Stop working on the newsletter until Monday."
You do not need special commands or code. If the agent is not sure what you mean, it asks.
What the agents send you#
Most of the time, the agents write first. In our own business, that looks like this:
- A morning report: what was made overnight, what is waiting for a decision, and whether anything went wrong.
- Work to approve: a finished item and a simple question: should this go out?
- An alert: if something stops working, an agent writes right away, so a problem does not sit unnoticed.
- A question: when a decision belongs to you, the agent asks instead of guessing.
Only you can give orders#
Your agents answer only the people you put on their list, so a stranger who finds the chat cannot give them instructions. Keep passwords, bank details, and private customer records out of the chat; the agents get the access they need in a safer way during setup.
Setting it up#
Connecting Telegram is part of the course. You follow the steps one by one, copy the prepared lines, and check that a test message comes back. You do not need to understand how the connection works inside, just as you do not need to understand a phone network to send a text.
The short version#
Your agents work on the server; you talk to them on your phone. You ask, approve, and send back work in ordinary sentences, and they tell you when something needs you.
