Turn Telegram into a multi-agent n8n assistant
They created an n8n setup that uses Telegram, voice, and text to delegate everyday admin to eight specialized agents.
- What they did
- They assembled an n8n workflow with a central controller powered by GPT-4.1, PostgreSQL for memory, and eight agents assigned to different kinds of work: email, scheduling, spending, trips, weather and news, research, writing, social planning, and contacts. Telegram is the front end, so they can send either a message or a voice note, and the controller decides which agent should take over. The specialist agents then use linked tools and services, including Google Workspace, Airtable, SerpAPI, Tavily, Perplexity, and Replicate, to carry out the request.
- How it went
- They report that it saves them over 20 hours a week. They also say it makes travel planning take seconds rather than hours, gets them to inbox zero, and manages repetitive logging plus research that includes sources. The main drawback is the amount of setup required, and they say the running cost is hard to estimate.
- Tips
- This is only practical if you already have n8n, a Telegram bot, Google Workspace, PostgreSQL, and the API keys for the other services. Build in a hard stop for anything that would send, book, erase, or submit so the agent must ask before acting.
Try it yourself with n8n
Help me build an n8n helper that I can talk to through Telegram using text or voice. Set up one routing agent and [number] specialist agents for [your tasks], and make sure voice messages are transcribed before they are routed. For any action that would send a message, make a booking, erase data, or submit something, pause, show me exactly what will happen, and wait until I confirm. When it is ready, I should be able to try each specialist with a sample request and get a useful response.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
