Name your agent in Telegram

In Telegram your agent shows up under a generic, shared name — the main bot is just mintbot.ai, and each extra contact is mintbot.ai (2), mintbot.ai (3), and so on. Telegram doesn't let you rename a bot contact (a limit on shared bots), so you can't change that name directly — even if you run just one agent.

There's an easy way around it, because a group's title is yours to set: put the bot in its own group and name the group whatever you like. The agent then shows up in your chat list under that name.

How to do it

1. Create a new group in Telegram
2. Give the group the name you want (e.g. “Murr” or “Sales bot”)
3. Add the agent's bot to the group

That's it. The agent answers in the group exactly as it does in a direct chat with it, and the group's name is what appears in your Telegram chat list — so in effect the agent now has the name you chose.

Good to know:

• Works with a single agent too. You don't need several agents — this is also how you give your one and only mintbot.ai bot a name of your own.
• Only your messages reach it. If you add other people to the group, their messages to the agent are ignored — nobody else can spend your credit.
• Keep it private if you like. A group of just you and the bot works fine.
• Which bot? Use the same bot you already chat with — the main @mintbot_ai_bot, or your agent's own dedicated contact if it has one. Each agent answers in its own group, with its own separate history.
