What is Oscar and what kinds of chats is he for?
Oscar (@IOscarBot) sits in groups and DMs like any other member: remembers what was said, looks at photos, listens to voice notes, searches the web on his own. He has a sharp tongue, so a strict work chat should give him a role up front.
How do I add Oscar to a Telegram group?
Open @IOscarBot and add him to a group. Then write "Oscar, …" or reply to his messages. What he can do in a given group depends on its settings and the rights you give him.
What chat history can Oscar remember?
Whatever was saved in this chat. He finds an old discussion and remembers who said what. Messages he never saw aren't in his memory.
What can I send Oscar besides text?
Photos, albums, voice notes, audio, videos and video notes. Links too: articles, clips, posts. Private pages and some sites are off limits.
Can I call Oscar without adding him to a group?
Yes, through Guest Mode: call him in a chat and he answers one message without joining. He doesn't see the group history. Typing @IOscarBot and a query also drops a picture into any chat.
Can Oscar find current information?
Yes, he searches the web on his own when a question is about news, prices or facts.
What reminders can he set?
One-off ones: "in 40 minutes" or "tomorrow at 9". You can move, change or cancel them. No recurring schedules yet.
How do I set Oscar up in a group?
An admin opens the bot menu: there's a Mini App with settings, from how often Oscar chimes in to what he does with media. A role is set right in the chat with a plain sentence.
What data does Oscar use?
Messages and media he sees in the chat: for replies, memory and whatever you asked for. Some of it goes to external AI and search services. Details, including deletion, are on the privacy page.
