VELA turns a regular Telegram bot into your own personal AI assistant — no code, set up in a few minutes through BotFather. The bot runs 24/7 on the platform's servers and is powered by Claude (Anthropic). Ask it anything in plain language and it replies in your own language — any language, not just English.What it can do:<ul><li>Weather — current conditions and a 5-day forecast for any city</li><li>Currency, crypto and stock prices — real-time, plus indices, commodities and precious metals</li><li>Reminders — one-time and recurring; it messages you at the right time</li><li>Web search — answers using live results from the web</li><li>Photo &amp; document analysis — reads and summarizes images, PDF, DOCX, TXT, XLSX; recognizes text; estimates calories from food photos</li><li>Morning digest — weather, prices and your reminders in one message each morning</li><li>City guide — finds the best places near your location</li><li>Flight search — finds tickets by route, month and budget</li><li>Price alerts — notifies you when an asset hits your target price</li><li>Image generation — creates pictures from a text description</li><li>Long-term memory — remembers your name, city and preferences</li><li>Google Workspace — Gmail, Calendar, Tasks and Drive in one connection</li><li>Notion — search, read and create pages and database entries</li><li>Telegram channel reading — summarizes posts from your channels</li><li>Voice messages — transcribes and acts on them</li></ul>Plans: Basic is free forever; Pro is $9/month ($7/month billed annually) and unlocks every module.One assistant in the messenger you already use all day — instead of ten separate apps.
