Telegram Business secretary: transcribes voice notes, round videos, and speech attachments right in the chat, with Settings and per-chat controls in Telegram's Manage Bot panel, plus opt-in text history (with import from a Telegram export), correspondence stats, and contact dossiers.

## Good to know before installing

Audio goes to the STT backend Hermes is configured with (local or external); transcript cleanup sends chat text through the host ctx.llm; opt-in dossiers send chat text through the Hermes model task telesec_dossier (default Vercel AI Gateway to Google with zero data retention; an optional message check on the same gateway and optional Cloudflare fact extraction are off by default); an owner-sent /dossier posts that contact's stored dossier (without the owner note, but written with it) into the Business chat for the contact to read; runs local ffprobe/ffmpeg (argument lists, no shell) on attached audio; opt-in dossiers run a gateway background thread; modes, opt-in history, and dossiers are stored 0600 under HERMES_HOME/data/telesec; reads only the numeric bot id prefix of TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN; no telemetry.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install telesec
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable telesec
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
