Getting started
qozyai turns Telegram into the primary interface for your personal AI agent. You get a private instance, your own Telegram bot, and you bring your own LLM — Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex. This guide walks the full onboarding in six steps.
- →A working email address
- →A Telegram account (mobile or desktop)
- →An OpenAI account with Codex device-flow enabled, or an Anthropic account with Claude Code access
- →OptionalAn invite code for a priority slot (e.g. handed out at a demo day)
Get your key from the website
- Open qozyai.com.
- Fill in Email.
- If you have an invite code, enter it in Invite code (optional). For public slots, leave it blank.
- Complete the Cloudflare check ("I'm not a robot").
- Click Send me a key.
The page confirms with "We'll email you shortly" — the email usually arrives within a minute or two.
Activate your instance
- Open the email from qozyai, subject "Your qozyai instance is ready".
- Click Open qozyai, or copy the backup URL — it looks like
https://<word>-<word>.qozyai.com/auth/…(in the demo:sunroom-beige.qozyai.com). - On the Connect your agent page, click Connect Telegram.
Connect your Telegram bot
- Telegram opens with an invitation to start your personal bot. Each user gets a unique name in the form
QozyAI <Word> <Word>(demo:QozyAI Sunroom Beige). - The bot greets you:
- Tap Start or send
/start. - The bot confirms:
/start or any message here to begin.Pick a driver
The bot explains BYOI and asks you to pick a driver. The driver is the "brain" of your agent — without an active provider account it can't think or act.
Tap the buttons the bot shows, or send the command yourself.
Authenticate with your provider
Codex example. The bot sends a message containing:
- A device URL:
https://auth.openai.com/codex/device - A 9-character code, e.g.
RQAE-CDZIZ - A help link if Codex isn't enabled on your account: qozyai.com/docs/enable-codex/
- Open the URL in any browser.
- On the Codex CLI page, type the code one character at a time (the dash can be skipped).
- Sign in to your OpenAI account. Acknowledge the security warning — it's normal and only matters if you didn't initiate the sign-in yourself.
- Return to Telegram and send the bot
Done(any message works).
Codex is authenticated. Please resend your previous message.
Claude Code uses the same flow on Anthropic's auth page — the bot supplies the link.
Start chatting
- Send the bot any message — e.g. "Hi".
- The bot shows "New conversation started." and the agent opens the dialog:
From here, talk to the agent like any Telegram contact. Reasoning and actions run on your model; qozyai orchestrates the rest.
