What runs on its own, and what do I approve?
The AI agent answers customers, and follow-ups run on the timing and rules you switch on. Reply drafts, task suggestions and bot improvements wait for a person to approve them.
How does AI know who to answer first?
Each time AI reviews a lead, it marks it Urgent, Normal or Low and says why. Urgent means an open problem where waiting costs money or access, like a customer who paid and didn’t get what they bought. If they are upset or have chased you, it ranks higher still. It also reads the funnel step, their orders, the contact data you choose and your own rules in plain words, like “yearly plan clients first”. AI can suggest these rules for you. Urgent leads go to the top of Waiting on us and of the morning digest. Priority only sorts the list: it never sends a message or changes a status.
Can AI use our own business data?
Yes, through the knowledge base and the tools you connect, such as product details, policies or an order lookup. It only has the information you give it.
Which AI models can I use?
You have two options. Use the models we run for you: frontier models such as GPT-6, Claude Opus and Sonnet 5.5, Gemini and Mistral, or Chinese models such as DeepSeek, Qwen and GLM. You pick the model for each AI step, and each one shows its price in AI credits. Or connect your own API key: contact us and our support team sets it up.
Can I start on my own, without the setup?
Yes. Create a free account, describe your bot, and the AI assistant builds it. You can still ask us for the free setup later.
I don’t have a Telegram bot yet. Can I still use this?
Yes. Describe what you need, and the AI assistant builds the bot in FlowCastle. We help you set it up as part of the free setup. You create the bot in Telegram’s BotFather and paste its token, which takes about a minute.
Can it answer on my website as well?
Yes. Add the FlowCastle chat widget to your site with one script. It uses the same flows, AI agent and knowledge base as your Telegram bot, and you can match it to your brand. Website chats join the same Leads queue, and a person can take over from the same inbox. How the website chat works
Does this work with a bot I already have?
We look at your setup first. A bot built with grammY, Telegraf, aiogram or python-telegram-bot can keep its code and add the FlowCastle SDK. You can also build it in FlowCastle or move it from another builder; see Two ways to connect your bot.
Is this for my personal Telegram messages?
This page is about enquiries that come through a Telegram bot you control. Personal accounts need a separate review, and we don’t promise to import your private chats.
Will it change our bot without us knowing?
No. AI review proposes changes and can prepare a draft. You review it, and publishing to your live bot is a separate step.
