Reach your Talent from Slack, Telegram, or iMessage

Message your Talent where you already work, approve things with a tap, and know which surface is right for which job.

You do not have to sit in a browser tab to use your Talent. It answers in Slack, Telegram, and iMessage, and it can start a conversation there when something needs you.

What each surface is for

Each surface has a job. Using the right one saves you a lot of friction.

The web console is for understanding and governance. Read what happened, change what your Talent may do, edit memory, manage connections, open artifacts.
Slack and Telegram are for attention and quick decisions. "This needs you", plus a fast yes or no on an approval. Anything deeper links back into the console.
iMessage is the same as Slack and Telegram, on your phone, with voice notes and tapbacks.

Connect a channel

Open Connections.
Under channels, choose Telegram or iMessage and follow the pairing steps.
For Slack, the TalentOS Slack app is installed once for the whole workspace by an admin. Once it is in, you can direct message your Talent there straight away.
Send a test message. Your Talent replies in the same place.

Telegram has no plan gate. iMessage is open to every workspace, including trials.

You are on a train. Your Talent messages your Telegram: "Your Monday pipeline note is ready, and one deal moved to closed lost. Want me to draft a note to the account owner?" You reply "yes, keep it short". It drafts the reply in Gmail and tells you it is sitting in your drafts. You approve nothing else and open nothing. Total time, forty seconds.

In a shared Slack channel

Your Talent behaves differently in a channel than in your DM, and this is deliberate.

It stays discreet. In a channel other people can read, it never volunteers your memories, notes, documents, schedules, or anything it read from your connected accounts. If the honest answer needs private detail, it keeps the channel reply brief and moves the rest to your DM.
It can tag teammates in the channel it is replying in, so the right person gets notified.
It cannot direct message anyone but you. If you ask it to message a colleague privately, it will say so plainly and leave that to you.

There are two different Slack things. The TalentOS Slack app is how you talk to your Talent. The personal Slack connector is how your Talent reads and searches Slack using your own account. Connecting one does not connect the other.

iMessage, exactly

iMessage runs over a shared TalentOS line, not a phone number of your own. That has real consequences worth knowing up front:

Pairing is rate limited: at most 40 new pairings per line per day, and at most 10 per workspace per day. If a whole team pairs at once, some people will be asked to try again tomorrow.
iMessage is one to one with you. Group chats are not supported.
You can react to your Talent's messages with a tapback, and it can put one on yours.
Voice notes work here too. See talking to your Talent with voice notes.

What to check

Your Talent says Slack is not connected while replying in Slack. It is talking about your personal Slack connector, not the chat. Chat still works. Connect the personal account in Connections if you want it to search other channels.
iMessage shows as temporarily unavailable in Connections. The shared line is down or busy. Existing pairings keep working. Try again later rather than pairing again.
You paired and got nothing back. Check you messaged the exact line shown during pairing, and that you have not hit the daily pairing cap.
A channel reply looks vague. That is channel discretion doing its job. Ask the same question in your DM to get the full answer.
