Frequently asked questions

What qozyai is, how onboarding works, and how the BYOI model affects you.

01What is qozyai?+

A service that turns Telegram into the primary interface for a personal AI agent. You get your own private instance and a dedicated Telegram bot to talk to your agent — no extra apps to install, no terminal work.

02How do I get started? What's the onboarding?+

Four steps: (1) on qozyai.com enter your email and an optional invite code, click Send me a key; (2) open the link in the email — it takes you to your personal subdomain; (3) click Connect Telegram, which opens a chat with your personal bot; (4) pick a driver (Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex) and finish the provider device-flow. Your agent is ready.

The full walkthrough with screenshots is in Getting started.

03What is BYOI (Bring Your Own Intelligence)?+

The "bring your own intelligence" principle: qozyai provides the agent infrastructure and behavior, but the brain — the LLM — runs on your provider account. We don't ship a model; you connect your own Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex subscription. This gives you control over model costs and which provider gets your data.

04Which models and drivers are supported?+

Two right now: Claude Code (Anthropic) and ChatGPT Codex (OpenAI). Pick a driver with a chat command — /driver claude or /driver codex — or with the buttons the bot shows after your first message.

05Why Telegram instead of a standalone app?+

Telegram is already installed and familiar for most people. That removes the install-and-configure step: onboarding and day-to-day use feel like a normal chat, not like setting up a developer tool. Sharing is also easier — the bot can be passed around with a link or QR.

06What does "private instance" mean? Does every user get one?+

Yes. Each user is given an isolated instance on a personal subdomain (in the demo: sunroom-beige.qozyai.com) and a personal bot with a unique name (e.g. QozyAI Sunroom Beige). Different users' agents do not share state or context.

07How does Codex / Claude Code auth work? Does qozyai see my password?+

We use the provider's native device-flow. The bot issues a one-time 9-character code (e.g. RQAE-CDZIZ), you open the provider's official page (e.g. auth.openai.com/codex/device), enter the code and sign in on your own account. Your password and tokens stay with the provider — qozyai never receives them.

08How long are links and codes valid?+

The instance link from the email is valid for 30 minutes. The browser device-flow for provider sign-in (e.g. Codex) must finish within 15 minutes — after that the attempt expires and you'll need to request a fresh code from the bot.

09Do I need a separate OpenAI or Anthropic subscription?+

Yes — that's the direct consequence of BYOI. For Codex you need an OpenAI account with device-flow enabled (there's a short guide for that step). For Claude Code you need an Anthropic account with Claude Code access. Without an active provider account, the agent can't think or act.

10What is the "Invite code" field on signup for?+

An optional invite code (the demo used demoday). It's handed out at events, demo days, or as part of closed launches and gets you a slot outside the public queue. Leave it blank for a public slot — signup still works.
