Credentials. Connected chat apps reach an assistant that can read your files and run commands, so connect only accounts you control.
Who it is forA person away from their desk who wants to ask their assistant a quick question from a phone.
The problemThe assistant lives on one computer, so you cannot reach it when you are away.
The outcomeYour Conch assistant answers from Telegram or from the installable phone app.
What you need first
- A computer running macOS, Windows or Linux
- A plan you already pay for with a supported provider, or an API key from a provider
- Node 24 or newer, only if you run from a checkout
Steps
- Install Conch on your computer with the one-line command for your system.
- Connect Telegram from the chat apps guide in the Conch documentation.
- Send a message from Telegram and confirm the reply comes from your Conch assistant.
- Install the app on your phone over the private address described in the phone guide.
Prompt for your agent
Using the georgevibing/conch-agent repo, connect Telegram to the Conch assistant on <your computer>. Expected output: a reply in Telegram from the same assistant that appears in the desktop chat. Verify that a message sent from the phone shows up in the desktop chat history.
Caveat. The README says that out of the box only this computer can open Conch, so remote phone access depends on the private address setup described in the phone guide.
