Build it
What do you want Telegram and ITIS to do together?
Describe it and your agent reads both APIs, builds the automation, tests every branch and ships it. The list below is what exists today, not the limit.
Ask the assistant
You'll sign in before anything runs. What you typed comes with you.
Or work from Claude Code
