Summary

Telegram just shipped a massive AI bot update (May 7, 2026) with 11 new features — four of them are game-changers for Hermes Agent multi-agent and team collaboration workflows.

Proposed Features

1. Guest AI Bots

What: Bots can now be @mentioned in any private or group chat, even if they are not members. The bot only sees the tagged message + replies.

Why for Hermes: Currently, Hermes must be added to every group where users want to interact. With guest mode, a single @bot mention works everywhere without bot setup or admin approval.

Related: Complements #527 (Permission Tiers).

Docs: https://core.telegram.org/bots/features#guest-bots


2. Bot-to-Bot Communication

What: Bots can now respond to other bots, enabling fully autonomous multi-agent workflows directly on Telegram.

Why for Hermes: Native pipeline execution without leaving the platform. Planner creates storyboard, illustrator generates images, reviewer does QA — all via Telegram bot-to-bot messages.

Related: Complements #9514 (Single-Daemon Multi-Agent).

Docs: https://core.telegram.org/bots/features#bot-to-bot-communication


3. Native Sticker Support

What: Telegram now indexes 100+ million user-generated stickers and emojis, searchable in 36 languages via AI models.

Why for Hermes: Stickers are the primary coordination language in many work teams. Hermes should be able to send stickers and search the library programmatically.


4. Chat Automation via User Profile

What: Users can connect a bot to their Telegram profile, allowing it to auto-respond to incoming messages on their behalf.

Why for Hermes: When a user is offline, their Hermes instance can auto-respond with status, route urgent messages, and collect reports autonomously.
