Quick Start

1. Get Telegram API Credentials

Get your API credentials at my.telegram.org/apps.

2. Install & Configure

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/arlanrakh/talk-to-girlfriend-ai.git
cd talk-to-girlfriend-ai

# Install Python dependencies
uv sync

# Generate Telegram session string
uv run session_string_generator.py

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your credentials

3. Start the Telegram API Bridge

python telegram_api.py

This runs a FastAPI server on port 8765 that bridges the TypeScript agent to Telegram.

4. Run the AI Agent

cd agent
bun install
bun run dev

Usage Examples

Once running, interact with natural language:

# Reading & Sending
> Show me messages from @her_username
> Send "Hey, I was just thinking about you" to @her_username
> Reply to her last message with something witty

# Reactions
> React to her last message with ❤️
> Send a 🔥 reaction to message 123

# Search & History
> Search our chat for "dinner plans"
> Show me the last 50 messages with her
> Find me a funny pickup line about pizza

# AI Assistance
> What should I reply to her message about coffee?
> Make this message more flirty: "want to hang out tomorrow?"
> Search for tips on how to keep a conversation going

# User Info
> Is she online right now?
> Check her status

# Message Management
> Edit my last message to fix the typo
> Delete message 456
> Forward that meme to @friend

Agent Commands

• /help - Show help
• /clear - Clear conversation history
• /status - Check connection status
• /quit - Exit

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

# Telegram API (Required)
TELEGRAM_API_ID=your_api_id
TELEGRAM_API_HASH=your_api_hash
TELEGRAM_SESSION_STRING=your_session_string

# AI Services (Required for agent)
AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=your_vercel_ai_gateway_key
NIA_API_KEY=your_nia_api_key

Alternative: Use as MCP Server

You can also use this as a standalone MCP server with Claude Desktop or Cursor, without the AI agent.

Add to your MCP config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "telegram": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["--directory", "/path/to/telegram-mcp", "run", "main.py"]
    }
  }
}

This exposes 60+ Telegram tools including messaging, contacts, groups, channels, reactions, and more.

Troubleshooting

• Database lock errors: Use session string auth instead of file-based
• Auth errors: Regenerate session string with uv run session_string_generator.py
• Connection issues: Check that telegram_api.py is running on port 8765
• Error logs: Check mcp_errors.log for detailed errors

Security

• Never commit your .env or session string
• Session string = full Telegram account access
• All processing is local, data only goes to Telegram API
