Your channels — one short digest

The service reads your Telegram folders and channels, picks what matters over the last 24 hours and sends a link to a digest page. No need to open dozens of chats and scroll through hundreds of messages.

Important stuff drowns in the stream

The more channels and work groups, the less likely you will see the message you need in time.

Hundreds of messages a day

Folders, work groups, industry channels and private chats. Reading everything is impossible, and missing one costs.

Important arrives late

The message you need sits somewhere between polls, memes and reposts. You find it a day later, when it is too late to act.

Unread piles up

The counter grows, you stop opening folders, and one day you miss a message you were waiting for.

No overall picture

Events are scattered across dozens of chats. Assembling one day's picture from them is a job on its own.

Four steps to the first digest

Connection takes a few minutes, then the service works on its own and sends a link to the same chat with the bot.

  1. 01

    Connect your Telegram account

    Write to the bot, press Start and log in by QR code (if Telegram is open on another device) or by phone number with a code.

  2. 02

    Choose what to read

    The service reads your Telegram folders or all groups and channels. Private chats, bots and service chats can be excluded.

  3. 03

    Receive two digests a day

    At 08:00 and 20:00 Cyprus time the bot sends a link to a page with a summary: sections by folder, topics and importance rating.

  4. 04

    Tune the parameters

    Schedule, selection depth, message limits and chat composition are changed in the account config — by your request or by command in the bot.

Settings that really change the result

Parameters are grouped by three stages: what goes into the archive, what goes into the digest, and how the digest is assembled.

Only unread

unread_only: the digest takes only messages you had not read when they were collected.

Sections by folder

split_by_folders: one section per Telegram folder instead of one overall summary.

Private chats

include_private: private chats can be included or fully excluded from the archive and digest.

Service chats and bots

skip_service_chats and skip_bots: login codes and bot conversations are not read and not stored.

Schedule

schedule_times: two times a day by default, 08:00 and 20:00 Cyprus time.

Volume limits

max_messages_per_folder, max_messages_per_chat and max_input_tokens keep cost and assembly time under control.

All parameters and defaults

The bot shows the same list after connection. Defaults suit most accounts.

Digest

What from the collected messages goes into the summary.

Parameter Default Example
unread_only true The digest takes only messages you had not read when they were collected. unread_only: false — already-read messages are summarised too.
split_by_folders true One section per Telegram folder. split_by_folders: false — one overall summary without folders.
include_private true Private chats in the digest. Default is for the main account. include_private: false — private chats do not appear in the digest.

Archive

What the service reads and saves before the summary stage.

Parameter Default Example
include_private true Private chats in the archive. include_private: false — private chats are not read or stored.
skip_saved_messages true Saved Messages is not read. skip_saved_messages: true — notes to self stay private.
skip_service_chats true Telegram service chats (login codes) are not read. skip_service_chats: true — the 'Telegram' chat is excluded.
skip_bots false Bot messages. skip_bots: false — bot digests remain in the archive.
skip_own_messages false Your own messages. skip_own_messages: false — your posts stay as context.
skip_empty_messages true Messages without text. skip_empty_messages: true — photos and stickers without captions are not stored.
exclude_chats list Chats never read: ids and names. exclude_chats: ids: [777000], names: ["verification codes"]

General

Schedule, volume and delivery of the digest.

Parameter Default Example
schedule_times ["08:00", "20:00"] Send times, Cyprus time. schedule_times: ["09:30", "18:00"]
max_age_hours 24 How old messages can be and still appear in the digest. max_age_hours: 12 — only the last half-day.
max_messages_per_folder 200 Limit of messages from one folder per cycle. max_messages_per_folder: 400 — for very active folders.
max_messages_per_chat 30 No more than this many messages from one chat: sampling goes round-robin. max_messages_per_chat: 50 — if long threads matter.
context_messages 3 Older messages from the same chat as background for the model. context_messages: 5
max_batches_per_folder 1 How many batches to process per cycle. 1 — the rest waits for the next cycle. max_batches_per_folder: 2 — large folders are processed faster.
max_input_tokens 24000 Model input budget: limit of cost and delay, not a model limit. max_input_tokens: 48000
delivery telegraph How the digest is delivered: a page and a link in Telegram. delivery: telegraph
recipient account Who receives the link: the account that collected the messages. recipient: account

How to connect

Connection happens in a chat with the bot. The password, code and phone number are deleted from the chat immediately after entry.

  1. 01

    Write to the bot and press Start

    The bot briefly explains what it does and offers two login methods.

  2. 02

    Log in by QR code

    Works if Telegram is open on another device: open Settings → Devices → Link Device and scan the code.

  3. 03

    Or log in by phone number and code

    If you have only one device: send the phone number, then the code from the 'Telegram' chat — with spaces between digits. A code sent without spaces is cancelled by Telegram.

  4. 04

    Enter your two-step verification password

    If your Telegram has an additional password, send it in one message. The bot deletes the message and does not store the password.

  5. 05

    Tell us what matters to you

    A short text about work, city and topics to pay attention to. If you do not want to — press /skip.

  6. 06

    Wait for the first digest

    The account connects in about a minute. The first digest over the last 24 hours usually arrives within half an hour, then at 08:00 and 20:00 Cyprus time.

After connecting

  • The bot sends a list of digest parameters, and they can be changed.
  • Disable digests at any time with /stop: the server stops logging into your Telegram.
  • Check the connection status with /status.
  • Telegram will show a new device 'tg-bridges' and send a login notification — that is expected.

What data is processed

The service works with your Telegram account, so below — what exactly happens with the data. No promises the service does not keep.

What happens with the data

  • The service reads your Telegram channels, groups and folders — those you allowed. Private chats can be fully disabled: then they are not read and not stored.
  • Collected message texts are stored in a local database on the account's own disk.
  • For the summary, texts are sent to a cloud model. Private chats, if enabled, are first processed by a local model, and personal data is removed from the text before it goes to the cloud.
  • Secrets and login codes are masked before being written to the archive.
  • Telegram service chats and Saved Messages are not read and not stored.
  • The digest is published as a page with a link: anyone with the link can open it. The page is replaced by a placeholder after about a day.

For EU/EEA users

  • The service is provided by ExiosV, Limassol, Cyprus — a member state of the European Union. Personal data is processed within the EU and under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  • You may request access to your data, correction, deletion or restriction of processing, and may withdraw consent at any time.
  • You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, including in the Republic of Cyprus.
  • Requests can be sent to [email protected].

For users in Russia

  • Personal data of users located in Russia is processed on servers located in Russia, in compliance with Federal Law No. 152-FZ 'On Personal Data'.

Frequently asked questions

Brief answers to the most common questions before connecting.

What exactly does the service read?

Your Telegram channels, groups and folders — those you allowed. By default private chats are enabled for the main account and can be disabled with one parameter. Saved Messages and service chats are never read.

Is my account safe?

The service works through the official Telegram API as a separate device 'tg-bridges'. You can end this session at any time in Settings → Devices, and the /stop command disables the digest. The login code and two-step verification password are deleted from the chat immediately after entry.

What happens to my data?

Message texts are stored in the account's local database. For the summary they are sent to a cloud model; private chats are first processed by a local model, and only the cleaned fragment goes to the cloud. See the data section for details.

How much does it cost?

Terms and price are discussed in the response to your request: they depend on the number of accounts and channel volume. Leave a contact and we will send a quote.

How to disable the digest?

By /stop in the bot chat. The server stops logging into your Telegram; messages collected earlier remain in the archive until the service operator deletes them.

Will the digest be in Russian or English?

In the language of your channels: the model responds in the language of the messages. The site is available in Russian and English.

I have no folders in Telegram. Is that a problem?

No. Without folders the service collects all groups and channels of the account and makes one overall summary. Folders are only needed for sections.

How often does the digest arrive?

Twice a day, at 08:00 and 20:00 Cyprus time. The first digest usually arrives within half an hour after connecting. Times can be changed with the schedule_times parameter.
