Switch on auto-answer
Let ChatPilot answer one chat by itself, openly as your AI assistant, within limits you set.
Auto-answer lets ChatPilot answer a chat by itself. It is off in every chat until you switch it on, one chat at a time, and only in chats ChatPilot may read (Choose which chats ChatPilot may read).
Switch it on
Open the chat and click Auto-answer above the messages (or More → Auto-answer…). The side panel opens on the Auto-answer tab; set Auto-answer for this chat to On. A chat with auto-answer on shows 🤖 auto-answer in the inbox.
What it always does, whatever you set:
- It answers openly as your AI assistant: it introduces itself once and marks every message (by default 🤖 ChatPilot:).
- It only sends what it's sure about. Otherwise the reply becomes a draft for you, also sent to your Telegram bot. How sure it must be is the chat's level: see Autonomy levels.
- It waits until they stop typing, and pauses when you write yourself.
- Every message it sends is reported to you in Telegram.
- It stays within the chat's Max per day (below).
The settings on the Auto-answer tab
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Style | Business: short and to the point, or Personal: chatty, for family and friends (it keeps the conversation going; plans, money, promises and serious things still wait for you). |
| Autonomy | How much it may answer by itself here. Not set here takes the person's, a tag's or the default level. |
| What to do | Your instructions in plain words, e.g. "Answer questions about prices and availability, leave anything else to me". Changed it by mistake? Undo. |
| Introduction | What it says the first time it answers in this chat. |
| Mark | The text in front of each of its messages. |
| When you write | Pause 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours after your own message, or keep answering. A pause shows ▶ resume now. |
| Max per day | This chat's own daily maximum. |
| Start a conversation | One-to-one chats only: see When ChatPilot writes first. |
Changes save by themselves.
Who it is writing to
With auto-answer on, ChatPilot reads all your chats with that person to learn who they are, shown as 🧠 ChatPilot knows: … on the tab (Refresh reads them again). If the chat isn't linked to a person yet, it offers to link it first. See People and client cards.
Stop it
- One chat: set Auto-answer for this chat to Off.
- Every chat at once: Automation → Rules & auto-answer → Autonomy → Off everywhere, or send
/autopilot offto your Telegram bot (/autopilot onresumes). Nothing is answered by itself until you switch it back on; your per-chat settings stay.
