Telegram tests connecting AI models via the new Agent function

A new Agent feature has been discovered in the beta version of Telegram for macOS, allowing third-party AI models to be connected directly to the messenger. Support for five major providers is planned: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and OpenRouter.

The new functionality allows users to integrate multiple services simultaneously using their own API keys with the ability to switch between them instantly. Settings will be synchronized across devices, and the list of available AI services can be expanded without the need to update the application itself.

Key features of the new integration

• Support for five major AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, OpenRouter)
• Integration via user API keys with multi-account capability
• Settings synchronization across all user devices
• Dynamic expansion of the list of available services without client updates
• API key verification through Telegram's secure servers

Currently, the feature is in active development and is not yet available to a wide range of users. Details on how interaction with AI agents will work in the interface have not yet been disclosed by developers.
