How this report works
Only assistants that work in Telegram, tested on at least five of the ten tests, are included. They are ranked by their average across the tests they took.
How to choose
- Check that Telegram is a real channel, not an afterthought. Each assistant's page lists where it runs.
- Look at Connected apps and Permissions & privacy before you link accounts: a bot in a chat can only act on what you connect, and you should know what it can read.
- If you will use it all day, compare reply times as well as scores; a chat bot that takes minutes to answer feels slow.
