Private AI for Telegram, Model in Intel TDX
A ChatGPT alternative inside the messenger your team already uses, all day, under the same DPA as the web app, delivered as a Telegram bot. The standard ChatGPT-style Telegram bots proxy to OpenAI; this one sends your messages to a model inside an Intel TDX enclave, through our own servers.
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.
- 2Bot → our serversOur web app stores the message as a job in our Postgres database, and the agent worker on our server reads it. Both handle it in plaintext.
- 3Inference in the enclaveThe worker sends the prompt to the model, which runs inside an Intel TDX enclave at our inference provider; that host's operating system cannot read the enclave memory.
- 4Response → TelegramThe reply is stored with the job in our database and sent back to you on Telegram.

Six questions that come up
How does the Telegram bridge work technically?
You start a chat with the VoltageGPU bot on Telegram. Our web app receives each message and stores it as a job in our Postgres database; the agent worker on our server reads it and calls the model, which runs inside an Intel TDX enclave at our inference provider. The reply is stored with the job and sent back on Telegram. Our servers handle the conversation in plaintext.
Can Telegram or its hosts read the contents?
Telegram carries the messages between your app and our bot. Our servers handle them in plaintext, as described above. The model runs at a US sub-processor under SCCs, listed in our sub-processor register, inside an Intel TDX enclave.
Is this just a wrapper around the OpenAI API?
No. The bridge is connected to VoltageGPU's own inference, not to OpenAI. The model runs inside an Intel TDX enclave at our inference provider, under a French controller. There is no path from your Telegram message to the OpenAI API.
Who is this useful for?
Two groups: (1) consultants and lawyers who want a private ChatGPT alternative inside the messenger they already use; (2) regulated-sector users who cannot put client data into the standard ChatGPT Telegram bots that proxy to OpenAI. It is a one-person plan: teams use the web app and the API.
How does pricing work for the Telegram bridge?
The bridge comes with the Plus plan: $20/month, one Telegram link, 1,000 messages a month. The team plans do not include Telegram today. The entry plan does not include the bridge either: it gives 50 messages a month on the General Assistant chat (a TEE model from our catalog), 1 seat, no credit card.
Can I revoke a Telegram session?
Yes. From the dashboard you can revoke your Telegram link, which invalidates the bridge token and closes the bot session. New messages from that Telegram account will be rejected.
