Private AI for Telegram — Hardware-Sealed Bridge
A private ChatGPT alternative inside the messenger your team already uses, all day. Same models as the web app, same hardware sealing, same DPA — just delivered as a Telegram bot you can add to a personal chat or a group. The standard ChatGPT-style Telegram bots proxy to OpenAI; this one terminates inside an Intel TDX enclave inside the EU.
Why Telegram specifically
Telegram is the daily messenger for many European consultants, lawyers, accountants, and engineers. Putting a private AI inside the same surface removes friction. There is no new tab. No separate login. No context switch. You just message the bot the way you would message a colleague.
The problem with the existing ChatGPT-style Telegram bots is structural: they are convenience wrappers around the OpenAI API. The moment a client name, a contract clause, or a sensitive document fragment goes into the chat, it ends up on US-controlled infrastructure where the operator and US authorities (FISA 702, CLOUD Act) retain technical access. The bot operator's privacy policy does not change that — they are a passthrough.
How the bridge works
- 1Telegram client → bridgeYour message reaches the VoltageGPU bot endpoint over Telegram's standard transport encryption.
- 2Bridge → enclaveThe bridge immediately forwards the message over TLS to the inference endpoint, which runs inside an Intel TDX enclave. There is no plaintext store at the bridge layer.
- 3Sealed inferencePrompts are decrypted only inside the protected memory region. The host operating system cannot read them. Remote attestation produces a cryptographic proof per session.
- 4Response → TelegramThe model response goes back the same way. The bridge does not log message contents. The dashboard shows the attestation hash for each session.
Three use cases that come up most often
- Lawyer or consultant who lives inside Telegram for client coordination
- Wants a private ChatGPT alternative without leaving the messenger
- Plus plan at $20/month, hardware-sealed Qwen3.5-397B-TEE
- Add the bot to an existing group, mention it to ask questions
- Each user keeps their own session, attestation per request
- Starter plan at $349/month for 3 seats
- Cannot put client data into bots that proxy to OpenAI
- Need EU controller, hardware sealing, DPA per RGPD Article 28
- Pro at $1,199/mo or Enterprise at $3,499/mo with SSO/SCIM
Pricing — the bridge is included on every paid plan
The Telegram bridge is not a separate product. It is the same inference endpoint as the web app and the OpenAI-compatible API, with a Telegram-specific surface. The bridge is included on every paid plan, and the free tier gives you five real requests per day inside Telegram so you can validate the workflow before any commitment.
$20/month — solo
Hardware-sealed Qwen3.5-397B-TEE. One Telegram link, web app, and OpenAI-compatible API access.
$349/month — 3 seats
Three Telegram links, shared usage analytics for the team, EU controller and DPA included.
$1,199 / $3,499 month
Ten or more Telegram links, DeepSeek-R1-TEE reasoning on Enterprise, SSO/SCIM, admin revoke from console.

Six questions that come up
How does the Telegram bridge work technically?
You start a chat with the VoltageGPU bot on Telegram. The bot relays your messages over a TLS connection to the inference endpoint, which runs inside an Intel TDX enclave. Prompts are decrypted only inside the protected memory region. The model response goes back the same way. The bot keeps no copy of the conversation outside the encrypted channel.
Can Telegram or its hosts read the contents?
Telegram itself sees the encrypted transport between your client and Telegram's servers. The bot endpoint receives the message, immediately forwards it to the TDX enclave over TLS, and returns the response. The two sensitive points — bridge handoff and inference — are both inside the EU, and the inference itself is hardware-sealed.
Is this just a wrapper around the OpenAI API?
No. The bridge is connected to VoltageGPU's own inference, not to OpenAI. The models are Qwen3.5-397B-TEE on Plus and Starter, and DeepSeek-R1-TEE on Pro and Enterprise. Both run inside Intel TDX enclaves on EU infrastructure. There is no path from your Telegram message to the OpenAI API.
Who is this useful for?
Three groups: (1) consultants and lawyers who want a private ChatGPT alternative inside the messenger they already use; (2) small teams that want a shared AI assistant inside an existing Telegram group; (3) regulated-sector users who cannot put client data into the standard ChatGPT Telegram bots that proxy to OpenAI.
How does pricing work for the Telegram bridge?
The bridge is included on every paid plan: $20/month Plus for solo, $349/month Starter for three seats, $1,199/month Pro for ten seats, $3,499/month Enterprise with SSO/SCIM and DeepSeek-R1-TEE. The free tier offers five real requests per day inside Telegram.
Can I revoke a Telegram session?
Yes. From the dashboard you can revoke any active Telegram link, which invalidates the bridge token and closes the bot session. New messages from that Telegram account will be rejected. On Enterprise plans, the admin can revoke any user's Telegram link from the SSO console.
