Lovable in Telegram lets you message Lovable directly from Telegram. It is the same agent you use on lovable.dev, now accessible from your messaging app. Think of it as a co-founder you can text.
This is for chatting with Lovable inside Telegram. You can build and manage your projects by messaging the Lovable bot.Want your Lovable app to send Telegram messages instead? Use the Telegram connector.

  • View analytics for published projects, including visitors, page views, traffic sources, and real-time stats

Across projects

  • Read and search code in any workspace project
  • Copy assets between projects
  • Compare patterns or components across codebases

Beyond code

    Lovable in Telegram is not available on Business and Enterprise workspaces.

Start the bot

In Telegram, click Start bot to finish linking your accounts.You should be connected now. The Telegram settings in Lovable update to show your connection status, the workspace it’s connected to, and when you connected.

How to use it

Send a direct message to the Lovable bot in Telegram. Chatting and building with Lovable in Telegram uses your workspace credits. Talk to it naturally, without special syntax or commands. For example:
Add a login page to my app
What does my users table look like?
Publish my project
The bot shows a typing indicator while processing, then replies in the chat. When it builds or edits a project, it includes a link back to Lovable so you can review the changes. If the project is unclear, the bot asks for clarification. Otherwise, it uses context to determine your intent.

Manage your connection

You can view, disconnect, or move your Telegram connection at any time from Devices and apps (Settings → Devices & apps).

Check status and credit usage

Go to the Telegram section to see:
  • Whether you are connected
  • Which workspace you are connected to
  • When the connection was created
  • The credits used through this connection

Move to another workspace

Each Telegram account is linked to a single Lovable workspace at a time. If you belong to multiple workspaces, you can move the link without disconnecting and reconnecting.
1

Switch workspace

In Lovable, switch to the workspace you want the bot to use.
2

Open Telegram settings

Find Telegram in Devices and apps (Settings → Devices & apps).
3

Move the connection

If your Telegram account is linked to a different workspace you’re a member of, you’ll see a Connected elsewhere badge, with information on which workspace it is connected to, and a Move to <workspace name> option. Click it to reassign the link to the current workspace.
The Telegram settings update to show the new workspace. The bot immediately starts working in that workspace’s context. Projects, credits, and permissions all switch over. No re-linking in Telegram is required.

Disconnect

Find Telegram in Devices and apps (Settings → Devices & apps) and click Disconnect. The bot stops responding to messages. You can reconnect at any time.

Limitations

  • Only Free and Pro workspaces. Lovable in Telegram is not available on Business or Enterprise plans. If your workspace is on one of these plans, the Telegram option does not appear in your settings.
  • No plan mode. A dedicated plan mode is only available through Lovable. Over Telegram, you can still plan your project conversationally. Just describe what you want and Lovable will help you think it through before building.
  • Direct messages only. The bot does not respond in group chats, supergroups, or channels.
  • Text, images, and text-based files only. You can send text messages, images, and text-based attachments (like .txt, .csv, or .json). Voice messages (audio files), videos, PDFs, and stickers are not supported.
  • One account per connection. Each Telegram account links to one Lovable user, and each Lovable user links to one Telegram account.
  • Memory is best effort. Repeat important context in new messages.
  • Database queries are read-only. The bot cannot create, update, or delete records.

Privacy and security

Messages sent to the bot are processed with your Lovable permissions. The agent can only access projects and data you already have access to. Disconnecting Telegram immediately removes access. Messages sent after disconnecting are ignored.

Troubleshooting

Find Telegram in Devices and apps (Settings → Devices & apps) and check if you are connected. Click Connect to Telegram if not connected already.
This is expected. The bot only responds to direct messages.
Find Telegram in Devices and apps (Settings → Devices & apps) and confirm your connection. If you are connected and still do not receive responses, disconnect and reconnect, then try again.
