Connecting Channels
Your agent is not stuck in one app. You can talk to it through the AgentVibe desktop window, or connect it to messaging platforms your already use -- Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, Email, and more.
Connect as many channels as you want. Your agent handles all of them at once.
Supported Channels
| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| Desktop App | Built in. Always available. |
| Telegram | The most popular choice. Create a bot with BotFather, paste the token, done. |
| Discord | Great for communities and teams. |
| Reach your agent from your phone. | |
| Slack | Perfect for work teams. |
| Signal | Private, end-to-end encrypted. |

Most people start with Desktop + Telegram. Desktop for longer conversations at your computer, Telegram for quick messages on the go.
How to Connect a Channel
You do this right in the AgentVibe app -- no coding, no terminal, no config files.
Open your agent's settings
Go to the agent's detail page and find the Channels section, or use the Connected Apps page in Admin mode.
Pick a channel
Select the channel you want to connect. AgentVibe shows only channels supported by your agent.
Enter the credentials
For Telegram, that is the bot token from BotFather. For Discord, it is the bot token from the Discord Developer Portal. Each channel tells you exactly what you need.
Save and restart
AgentVibe updates the config and restarts your agent. Takes about 10 seconds.
