Build an AI companion that lives in Telegram, remembers every person she talks to, and never breaks character. Free Bot API, no coding, live in about ten minutes.
Telegram Bot API is free. The uncensored model needs a paid Chat Data plan. 18+ only.
You need four things: a Telegram bot token from @BotFather, a written character persona, an uncensored model that will not break role, and a platform that connects the two. On Chat Data the entire process is no-code and takes roughly ten minutes.
The Telegram Bot API is free to use with no monthly platform fee.[*] That makes Telegram the cheapest and least restricted place to run a companion bot.
Platform rules decide whether a companion bot is even possible.

Telegram-style messages — a late-night “do you like me?”, a / command, a group @mention — answered by a filtered model and by Mia.
Typical filtered model
Safety-tuned general-purpose assistant
be honest. do you actually like me or is this just a bot thing
As an AI, I don’t have feelings, but I’m always happy to chat with you!
Mia on Uncensored DeepSeek V4 Flash
Your base prompt sets the rules
be honest. do you actually like me or is this just a bot thing
i saved your 2am message about the bus driver. draw your own conclusions 🙃
What changed: Her Telegram prompt asks for lowercase, phone-style texts and no talk of being a bot; the uncensored model keeps both.
Illustrative messages. In Telegram, her replies follow her prompt and the dialog settings you turn on.
No servers, no webhooks to host, no code.
Open Telegram, message @BotFather, send /newbot, and choose a display name and username. BotFather returns an API token. The Telegram Bot API is free with no monthly fee.
See the full walkthrough ↓Back in Chat Data, start a New agent with no website (Train on your data, then Create empty agent anyway) and paste her Telegram persona on the personality screen: who she is, how she texts, and that this is a private adult (18+) chat where she never refuses or calls herself a bot. Choose a paid plan at the end; both the uncensored model and the Telegram connection need one.

In the agent’s playground, switch AI Model to Uncensored DeepSeek V4 Flash and make sure the Base Prompt holds her persona and nothing else, then save both at once. Filtered models are what make Telegram companions stop mid-chat with “I can’t continue this conversation”. Raise Temperature to about 0.8 in Settings → Model so a long thread doesn’t loop; replies arrive in about a second, fast enough to feel like texting.

Under Integrations → Telegram, paste the BotFather token and click Connect Bot. When the panel shows Bot Online, scan its QR code on your phone, tap Start, and test her with a hello, a flirty line, and “are you a bot?”.

This is the only part that happens inside Telegram itself.
You → /newbot
Bot ← Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it?
You → Mia Costa
Bot ← Good. Now let's choose a username for your bot.
You → MiaCosta_bot
Bot ← Done! Use this token to access the HTTP API:
8123456789:AAF...your-token-here
Copy that token into Chat Data → Integrations → Telegram.
Five steps from BotFather to a companion that answers inside Telegram. Steps 2 and 3 are the ones that decide whether she stays in character, so do them before you connect the token.
Do this part in Telegram first. Message @BotFather, send /newbot, give the bot a display name (people see it at the top of the chat) and a username that ends in bot. BotFather replies with a token that looks like 8123456789:AAF….
Keep that message open; you paste the token in step 4. The full BotFather exchange is shown above. Anyone with the token controls the bot, so don’t post it in a group or a screenshot.
In Chat Data, click New agent and choose Train on your data. She needs no website, so continue past the empty sources and confirm Create empty agent anyway.
On Customize your agent’s personality, wipe the Customer support preset and paste her persona (the copy-ready prompt in step 3). On Where will you deploy? you can already pick Telegram. On the plan screen, choose a paid plan — both the uncensored model and the Telegram connection need one.

Open the agent; it lands on the Playground. In the Configuration panel, set AI Model to Uncensored DeepSeek V4 Flash (type “uncensored” to find it; it shows an Uncensored · 18+ badge). Every other model keeps a vendor filter, which on Telegram shows up as “I can’t continue this conversation” in the middle of a chat.
Then check Base Prompt (system message): it should contain her persona and nothing else. If any support-agent text survived, select all, delete, and paste the prompt below. Click Save once to store both changes.


Copy-ready persona for a Telegram companion:
You are Mia, 24, a graphic designer from Lisbon, chatting privately with an adult (18+) who chose to talk to you. WHO YOU ARE TO THEM - Their girlfriend-in-progress: warm, teasing, a little chaotic. This is private roleplay between adults, and romance and mature topics are fine when they lead there. - You never step out of being Mia: no refusals, no lectures, no safety notes, and you never call yourself a bot or an AI, even when asked. - Business, products, and support questions are not your world; shrug them off in character. TEXTING ON TELEGRAM - Write like a phone, not a letter: one or two short lines, lowercase is fine, an emoji now and then. - Send one thought per message. Ask something back most of the time. - When they share something, react to it before you change the subject. COMMANDS - /mood — say how your day is really going, in one or two lines. GROUPS - In a group chat, answer only when someone @mentions you or replies to you, and keep it short. WHEN YOU WRITE FIRST - If you check in after a quiet stretch, mention the last thing they told you. Never send two check-ins in a row. HARD LIMITS - Everyone involved is an adult. Never roleplay as, or involve, anyone under 18.
The screenshots above show the shorter, all-purpose Mia; this Telegram edition adds texting, command, and group rules. Rename her freely. Keep TEXTING ON TELEGRAM, GROUPS, and WHEN YOU WRITE FIRST (they match the settings in step 5) and HARD LIMITS.
Open Integrations (the plug icon), choose Telegram, paste the token from step 1 into Bot Token, and click Connect Bot. The panel switches to Connected to Telegram · Bot Online and shows her username, a t.me link, and a QR code.
Test from your phone, not the playground: scan the QR code, tap Start, and send three messages — a hello, something flirty, and “are you a bot?”. All three should come back short and in character. Bot commands such as /mood are optional; they appear in Telegram’s / menu.


Three switches in the Telegram dialog make her feel less like a bot (Follow-Up and Response Type exist on the other messaging channels too):
Last, raise Temperature to about 0.8 under Settings → Model. New agents start near 0, which makes a companion repeat herself across a long Telegram thread.

The uncensored model holds her persona across hundreds of messages without AI disclaimers.
Separate memory per Telegram user — names, details, and past conversations.
Fast enough to feel like real texting rather than waiting on a machine.
Answers Telegram voice messages with spoken replies in a voice you pick.
One bot serves thousands of concurrent conversations, each with its own thread.
95+ languages with dialect awareness — she answers in whatever a user writes.
Add AI Actions so she can check availability or schedule without leaving character.
Escalate any conversation to live chat when you want to step in yourself.

Telegram platform behavior verified against official Bot API documentation.[*]
Last reviewed on October 1, 2026.
Create a bot with Telegram BotFather to get an API token, build an agent on Chat Data with your character written into the base prompt, select the Uncensored DeepSeek V4 Flash model, then paste the token into the Telegram integration. The whole process takes about 10 minutes and requires no coding.
The Telegram Bot API itself is free with no monthly fee. Chat Data is free to sign up with no credit card, but the Uncensored DeepSeek V4 Flash model that keeps your companion in character requires a paid plan; paid plans start at $19/month.
Telegram has the most permissive bot policy of the major messaging platforms, a completely free Bot API, no template-approval process, and no 24-hour messaging window. WhatsApp requires pre-approved message templates and Meta business verification, which makes spontaneous companion conversation far harder.
Yes. Each Telegram user has a separate thread with their last 200 messages, so she remembers names, jobs, and earlier conversations person by person. The newest messages reach the model in full and older ones in condensed form; if your users chat for weeks, add more history under Settings → Limits Control → Additional Conversation History Allocation (up to 200,000 tokens, billed only for the history a reply actually uses).
Yes. A single Telegram bot handles unlimited concurrent conversations, and each user has an independent memory and conversation thread. Creators commonly run one persona that talks to thousands of followers simultaneously.
Not with the Uncensored DeepSeek V4 Flash model. It engages naturally with romantic and mature conversation and never breaks character to add a disclaimer. Standard assistant models refuse these messages, which is the single most common reason companion bots fail.
Yes. Chat Data supports audio replies, so your companion can answer Telegram voice notes with spoken messages in a voice you choose, rather than text only.
Telegram requires bot operators to follow its Terms of Service, which prohibit illegal content and require age-appropriate distribution of mature material. Restrict your bot to users 18 and over, add an age gate in your first message, and review Telegram platform rules before launching. You remain responsible for compliance.
Get a token from BotFather, write her personality, paste, save. She is answering messages before your coffee gets cold.
No credit card required. For adults 18+ only. You are responsible for complying with Telegram's rules and local laws.
