TokenFlux Agent
Here are the key points, with links to the source…
A draft appears in private chats. In groups, one message is edited as the reply grows. The final answer arrives as new messages.
01 / Telegram
How to connect
First, open Agents, select an agent, then select Manage and Channels.
- 01
If Create bot is offered, open it in Telegram and confirm. TokenFlux gets the token, connects the bot and links your private chat automatically. Just send the bot a message.
- 02
For the token path only: get a token from @BotFather with /newbot, paste it and select Connect and start. The bot must have no webhook and serve no other agent.
- 03
For the token path, create a link, open it and press Start to link the private chat. To link a group, use Add @bot to a group. The auto-created bot’s private chat needs no link step.

Good to know
- Text only. Images and files sent in chat are not read. Use the web app for images and workspace files for file tasks.
- Your bot or app serves one agent. Every task spends your TokenFlux balance on model tokens.
- By default, only the person who linked the chat can use the agent. It ignores other people. In groups, it reads messages that mention or reply to it.
The person who linked the whole group can send /members on in that group to let every member use the agent. Every task is billed to the owner. Anyone in the group gets full control of the agent’s workspace, API key, automations and memory. Use this only on a TokenFlux account set up for this team. /members off stops new requests from others; it does not undo anything already done.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
The agent spends your TokenFlux balance on model tokens. Each scheduled run is also a normal agent task.
Can it send scheduled results to this chat?
Yes. Ask the agent in a linked chat to create an automation, or select that chat in the web app. Delivery can fail. The answer stays in the web app.
Can it read images or files sent in chat?
No. Chat apps send text only. Use the web app to send images. The agent can read and write files in its sandbox workspace.
