OwnPilot v0.8.3 · Source-verified guide

Your browser is the command center

The web interface brings chat, agents, personal data, workflows, configuration and activity together. Streaming responses show tool execution progress; WebSocket updates reflect data changes.

Telegram

OwnPilot includes a Telegram bot integration with user and chat filtering, message splitting and formatted replies. Create and configure your bot credentials in your instance and use the channel approval flow to verify access.

WhatsApp

The WhatsApp integration uses Baileys and QR pairing rather than the Meta Business API. It includes session persistence, self-chat handling, group message support and voice-message transcription through the configured voice pipeline.

Review WhatsApp’s terms and the project’s channel documentation before connecting an account. This integration is not an endorsement or partnership with WhatsApp.

Voice

The voice pipeline documents Whisper API transcription and OpenAI text-to-speech. Record audio in chat and play supported assistant responses. Voice services require their own credentials and may process audio externally.

Approve the right people

Channel access includes approval codes, manual admin approval and blocking controls. Rotating pairing keys help verify channel ownership. Review paired users and revoke access you no longer need.
