Message your Mac. A real AI assistant answers.
Telekit gives you a private Telegram bot backed by an AI session running on your own Mac. Text it from anywhere; it reads and works in a folder you choose, on your machine, not someone else's cloud.
7-day free trial, card required. Then $9.99/mo.
Summarize the meeting notes in ~/Work/notes
Read 4 files in ~/Work/notes. Three decisions this week: ship the beta Friday, move the demo to Tuesday, and hold pricing at $29. Want the full summary as a file?
Yes, drop it in the same folder
Saved summary-aug.md to ~/Work/notes.
Three steps, no terminal
Install
Download the DMG and open the app. It's signed and notarized, and a setup wizard walks you through everything.
Create your bot
The wizard creates your personal bot with Telegram's BotFather, pairs your Telegram account, and sets a passcode.
Message it
Text your bot from anywhere. The assistant on your Mac answers and works in the folder you chose.
An assistant with its feet on your desk
It works in your folder
Point Telekit at one folder on your Mac. The assistant reads and works there, so your files never leave your machine.
Bring the AI you already have
Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Grok, if it's installed, Telekit uses it. Your existing subscription does the thinking.
Set up without a terminal
Download a DMG and a wizard does the rest: it creates your bot with Telegram's BotFather, pairs your account, and sets a passcode.
Private by construction
Only your Telegram account can talk to the bot. A passcode gate protects sessions, and everything runs on your own hardware.
Your assistant, your choice
Telekit doesn't sell you another AI. If Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Grok is installed on your Mac, your bot is answered by the tool you already pay for and trust.
No AI installed? The built-in assistant ships with starter credits, so Telekit works the moment setup finishes. When the credits run out, bring your own API key.

- Claude Code
- Codex

Private because of how it's built
Telekit's privacy isn't a policy promise. It's the architecture.
Only you can talk to it
Your bot answers your Telegram account and nobody else's. Strangers who find the bot get silence.
A passcode gates every session
You set a passcode during setup. Sessions stay locked behind it.
Your hardware, your files
The assistant runs on your own Mac and touches only the folder you chose. Nothing is hosted for you on someone else's server.

Questions a careful buyer asks
What do I need to run Telekit?
A Mac on macOS 12 or later (Apple Silicon or Intel) and a Telegram account. The app is signed and notarized, and the setup wizard handles the rest.
Is my data private?
The assistant runs on your own Mac and works in a folder you choose. Only your Telegram account can talk to the bot, and a passcode gate protects sessions.
Which AIs work with Telekit?
Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Grok, if you have them installed. If you have none of them, the built-in assistant works out of the box.
What if I don't have an AI subscription?
The built-in assistant ships with starter credits, so it works immediately. After that, bring your own API key.
Can I cancel?
Yes. The 7-day free trial requires a card, and you can cancel any time before or after it converts to the $9.99/mo Basic plan.
