Start with a read-only request
A useful first test is a summary or information lookup. This confirms that the agent can resolve the intended chat and understand the relevant message history before you ask it to draft or send anything.
“Summarize this Telegram group since yesterday.”
“Find the last message where John mentioned the contract.”
“Draft a reply to Sarah but do not send it.”
Conversation context stays attached to the chat
The agent resolves the exact chat and message identities underneath. That makes later follow-ups such as “what happened before that?” or “reply to that message” more reliable than working from pasted snippets.
Use browser automation only when you actually need the UI
For supported chat operations, structured tools avoid opening Telegram Web, waiting for rendering and selecting conversations visually. UI-only workflows can still require browser interaction elsewhere.
