Frequently Asked Questions
General
What AI models does Mesachat support?
Mesachat supports multiple AI providers through the AI SDK:
- OpenAI — GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, o1, and more
- Anthropic — Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Haiku, and more
- Google — Gemini Pro, Gemini Flash, and more
Can I use my own API keys?
Yes. Mesachat supports Bring Your Own Key (BYOK). You can add your own API keys in Settings, and they will be used instead of the platform-provided keys.
Is my data private?
Conversation data is stored in your tenant's isolated database partition. Mesachat uses AES-256-GCM encryption for API keys and supports per-tenant encryption keys for additional isolation.
Setup
How do I create a Telegram bot?
- Open Telegram and search for @BotFather
- Send
/newbotand follow the prompts - Copy the bot token
- In Mesachat, create a bot integration with the token
See the Telegram channel guide for detailed steps.
Can I connect multiple channels to one bot?
Yes. A single bot can have multiple integrations (e.g., Telegram + Email), and it will respond consistently across all channels.
Troubleshooting
My bot isn't responding
Check these common issues:
- Integration enabled? — Verify the integration is toggled on in bot settings
- Valid credentials? — Ensure the bot token or API key is correct
- Channel authorized? — The chat/channel must be authorized in the Channels page
- API key available? — Verify an API key is configured for the bot's LLM provider
