AI writing assistant in Telegram: five text jobs, from a payment reminder to a post in Spanish

The short answer

Write to the agent the way you would brief a colleague: what the text is for, the facts it must contain, who reads it and how long it should be. Paste the text if you already have one. The draft comes back in the same Telegram chat, usually in under a minute, and you copy it, forward it or ask for another version.

The agent is good at the five jobs that fill a working week: writing from facts, writing for a channel, shortening, changing the tone and translating. What makes the difference is not a clever prompt. It is the details you give and the one line about what must not change.

The test: a ceramics studio and five text jobs

We made up a person. Nadia runs a small ceramics studio: she sells mugs to cafés, teaches wheel classes and runs a Telegram channel and a students' group. In one afternoon she needs five texts:

1. an email to a regular client whose invoice is two weeks late;
2. a channel post about a beginners' workshop;
3. a long message to the students' group, cut down to something people will read;
4. a calm version of an angry reply to a customer review;
5. the workshop post in Spanish for students from Valencia.

The person, the café and the numbers are made up. The replies are real: everything below was sent to our test agent on 30 October 2026, on the default model, one message after another in the same chat. We ran the same five requests in English, Russian, Turkish and Arabic, so each language version shows the replies in that language.

1. An email that asks for money and keeps the client

The hardest emails are the ones where you need something from someone you like. Here the message to the agent is mostly facts: who, how much, when it was due, what has already happened, and the deadline. Then one line on the relationship and one on the tone.

Every fact made it into the email and nothing was invented: the invoice number, the sum, the due date, the first reminder, the new deadline. The firm part is one sentence, “I do need the funds to clear by 6 November”. The warm part is the last paragraph, which gives Oliver an easy way to answer if there is a problem on his side. That is the shape of a good reminder: the facts, one clear ask, and a door left open.

Notice what was not in the request: no “act as a professional copywriter”, no template. “Polite but firm, short” and “I want to stay on good terms” were enough to set the tone.

2. A channel post from a list of facts

A post has a different job: it has to sound like a person, not a price list. The request gives the facts in the order they came to mind and adds the limits that matter for a channel: the length, the mood, the number of emoji.

The post is 461 characters, well inside the 600 we asked for, with one emoji at the very end. All the facts are there, but they are rearranged for a reader: who it is for comes first, the price arrives together with what it covers, and the practical line “Wear something you don't mind ruining” makes it sound like someone who has actually taught the class.

The agent also offered the next step itself, a shorter version or one for other channels. That is the normal rhythm of writing with an agent: the first draft, then one short message to adjust it.

3. A long group message cut to four lines

Everyone has written this message: three pieces of news and a request, one long breath, sorry for the length. In a group chat it gets skipped. Here we pasted the whole thing and asked for four lines that keep every date and every action.

205 words became 104 in four lines. Every date survived: the class cancelled on the 3rd, the replacement on the 5th at 18:30, the pickup deadline on the 15th, the market on 12 December and the sign-up by 20 November. Both options for the Tuesday group are still there, and each line has one topic, so people can find the part that concerns them.

What went out: the apology for the long message, the kiln repair technician, “they came out really nice actually”. That is what shortening should remove. The line “keep all the dates and what each person needs to do” is what kept the rest from going with it. When you ask for a shorter text, always say what must survive.

4. An angry reply rewritten in a calm voice

The reply to a review is where tone costs the most, because everyone else reads it too. Nadia's draft is honest and fair on the facts, and it would still lose her customers. We asked the agent to keep the point and change the voice, and we told it what not to do.

The point survived: the glaze varies because every piece is made by hand, and the product page says so. The sarcasm, the IKEA line and the refusal are gone. Instead there is an offer, a swap or credit toward a future order, and the customer gets to choose. The agent's own last line sums it up: it gives the customer a choice without agreeing that the mug is faulty. The reply is 79 words, under the limit of 80.

The instruction “Don't apologise for the glaze itself” did a lot of work here. Without it, a calm rewrite tends to slide into apologising for things that need no apology. Telling the agent what must not change is as useful as telling it what to change.

5. The same post in another language

The last job is short on purpose. Nadia has a post she likes, and some of her students read Spanish more easily. Because it is the same chat, she does not paste anything: “the workshop post from above” is enough.

The Spanish version reads as if it had been written in Spanish: a heading, a question to the reader, the facts in the same order and the booking line at the end, with the emoji kept as asked. The agent went for a natural post rather than a word-for-word copy and added a line about what beginners do at the wheel. If you need the exact wording, for a price list or a contract, say “word for word”.

Translation deserves its own guide: photos of menus, voice notes and PDFs in other languages are in AI translator in Telegram: a menu photo, a voice note and a PDF, translated in one chat.

What an agent adds to a text generator

Text generator websites write well, and so do the big assistants: ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini all draft, shorten and rewrite, and they remember context. So the useful question is not who writes better sentences. It is where the writing happens and what the helper already knows about you.

Your WAM agent is a contact in Telegram, with a name and an avatar you choose. You write to it where your messages already are, so the draft goes to your client, your channel or your group with a forward or a copy. It also sits in groups and forum topics as a participant, so a team can ask it for a post or a summary right in the work chat. It starts in Telegram, and other messengers can be connected.

It keeps a memory of you. Tell it once that you sign emails as Nadia, that your channel uses one emoji at most and that you never promise refunds in public, and the next draft starts from there. You can change what it remembers in plain words.

And text is only part of its day. The same chat reads photos and PDFs, transcribes voice notes, searches the web and connects to Gmail and Google Calendar through MCP connectors. Once Google is connected, “read the last emails from Oliver and draft the reply” works in one message. For ten other jobs of this kind, see AI chatbot in Telegram: 10 real tasks we gave an agent, with its replies.

How to ask so the first draft is the one you send

• Give facts, not a topic. Names, sums, dates, what has already happened. The reminder in task 1 was ready the first time because the message had the invoice number, the due date and the earlier reminder.
• Name the reader and what you want from them. “A regular client, I want to keep them” changes the tone more than any adjective.
• Set a length you can check: 600 characters, four lines, 80 words.
• Say what must survive. “Keep all the dates” is why nothing important went missing when the group message lost half its words.
• Say what not to do. “Don't apologise for the glaze” kept the calm reply from giving the point away.
• Ask for a second version when you are unsure: “give me a warmer one” or “make it two lines shorter” is one more message.
• Read before you send. The agent writes from what you give it, so the dates and sums in the draft are the ones you typed in your message.

What it costs

Writing is the cheapest kind of work for the agent. On the default model, text costs 1  per 20,000 tokens, and a message in a thread costs a fraction of a magnet. In our session the balance in the agent's status line moved by 2 to 4  per request, because the whole conversation travels with every new message. Start a new topic with /clear and each draft gets cheaper still.

The Free plan gives 200  in the first month and 100  every month after, with no card, which covers hundreds of ordinary messages. Pro costs $13.90 a month for 400 , or $1.39 for the first month if you subscribe within 7 days of signing up, and adds top-ups, recurring reminders and scheduled tasks. By default, requests go through DeepSeek's infrastructure in the People's Republic of China, which you confirm at onboarding; on Pro you can attach your own Claude or Codex instead. All rates are on the pricing page.

Messages worth copying

Create your agent, paste the text you have been putting off, and say in one line what it needs to do.
