a year ago i spent a few weeks building a bot
that collects a digest from telegram channels
parsing, merging similar news, scheduling, PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION
today i wrote claude one sentence
“collect the news from all my channels for the past week and merge the similar ones”
it read 200+ channels in a couple of minutes
merged duplicate news and gave me a digest
under the hood there's an mcp server for telegram, running on my home server
github.com/chigwell/telegram-mcp
now i read telegram only through claude)
