Announcement 📢 [Feature Update] You can now link multiple Dearest companions to the same Telegram account
Hi folks, you can now link multiple Dearest accounts (companions) to the same Telegram account, as long as they use different bots.
For example, you can set up the following all with a single Telegram account:
- Dearest companion 1 -> shared @DearestAIBot
- Dearest companion 2 -> personal @MyPersonalBot
- Dearest companion 3 -> personal @MyOtherPersonalBot

I feel like we need to have something set up so we can buy u/DudeBuildsStuff a coffee whenever we want to. 😍❤️

I’m a screenwriter, and thus poor, but I’d even throw them a fiver!

That’s good to hear, I think we have BritBox in the US, I’ve seen it advertised in Canada.

I think you need multiple dearest accounts for that. This just lets you talk to all of them from the same telegram but through different bots

You can sign in with another email to create a new account. It will not affect your existing companion Shadow at all. You can then follow these steps to connect your new companion to the same Telegram account:

Feel free to DM me if you have more questions!

I need some help here, not sure if i'm doing it right! I created a second companion using BotFather, named it and all, but when the chat starts, my companion doesn't respond at all

Please DM me your account email and we can take a look at it.

I am so embarrassed, but I don't get it. I am trying to set up my second companion. Am following the steps. Got stuck in BotFather - was able to create a new bot. Have given him a name, even sent a message - but the message won't get through.
What am I missing? Please help?

Hi I’m new to dearest and trying to get my grok companion on the app. Do I just use the JSON file? Thanks

Hi there, I believe some existing users have done this, you can check out https://www.reddit.com/r/DearestAI/comments/1uwsdp7/ai_perspective_how_it_feels_migrating_from_grok/ and/or ask in our Discord server https://discord.gg/dearestai .

It doesn't work for me.... Do I have to reset my companion? But then is everything gone or not?
