You can use the Telegram bot to create content, check stats, find domains, and manage your sites through a Telegram conversation.
You can create and edit posts, pages, and media by describing what you want in plain language. For example, you can ask it to:
- “Write a post about our new summer menu.”
- “Update the About page to mention our new location.”
- “Brainstorm post ideas based on my recent content.”
You can generate AI images or upload your own photos directly in the chat. For example:
- Ask it to “Generate an image of a coffee shop with outdoor seating.”
- Send a photo from your camera roll to your conversation to upload it to your site’s media library.
Ask the Telegram bot for stats on any connected site. For example, send “Show me my stats” to see visits, visitors, posts published, and subscriber counts.
Send a message like “Is yourgroovydomain.com available?” to check whether a domain name is available. The bot shows pricing and provides a link to purchase the domain on WordPress.com. Learn more about registering a domain.
The Telegram bot includes tools for managing your connected sites. For example:
- “Switch to my other site.”
- “Create a new WordPress.com site.”
- “Take a screenshot of my site.”
- “Search the web for free WordPress themes for restaurants.”

The Telegram bot has a daily message limit that depends on your WordPress.com plan:
- Free sites: 40 messages per day.
- Any paid plan: 500 messages per day.
When you reach your daily limit, the bot lets you know in the conversation. Free site users will receive a link to the WordPress.com plans page to upgrade.
The Telegram bot remembers your preferences across conversations. You can set communication style, workflow preferences, or personality adjustments through the chat.
The Telegram bot stores preferences in your WordPress.com account. There is no settings page to view or edit stored preferences. To change a preference, ask the bot in the conversation.
On the Telegram mobile app, you can speak to the Telegram bot using voice messages instead of typing. The bot processes your voice message and responds in text.
Once you connect your WordPress.com account, the Telegram bot can access all WordPress.com sites associated with your account. Your user role on each site determines which actions the bot can perform.
Automattic has access to chat transcripts between you and the Telegram bot.
