An AI agent can be brought to familiar chat apps: Yandex AI Studio publishes it to Telegram and MAX
On 22 September, Yandex AI Studio allowed text AI agents to be published to Telegram and MAX. An agent is created in Agent Atelier, a version is saved, and a messenger is connected to it through an API token. One agent can have up to 10 published channels.
On 15 September, Yandex AI Studio added versioning for text agents. A single saved version can now be published to Telegram, MAX, Telemost, or a web widget, then used to update channels already connected.
Token-based connection. For Telegram, first create a bot through BotFather, then select the agent version in Agent Atelier and paste in the token. For MAX, you need a bot from the MAX partners interface and its token. Creation and publishing require the `ai.canvasAgents.editor` and `ai.agentChannels.editor` roles.
The agent retains conversation history for 7 days. Tokens for the selected model and tool calls are billed.
The same version can be used to update agents already published in messengers.
