- MoonPay launched support for its AI crypto assistant, MoonAgents, on the Telegram messaging platform Thursday.
- Users can ask MoonAgents to analyze markets, create dashboards, and prepare transactions using natural conversations.
- MoonPay says Telegram serves as an interface, while user data and private keys remain stored locally on their computers.
MoonPay has brought its AI crypto assistant to Telegram, allowing users to interact with MoonAgents directly through the messaging platform as of Thursday. The integration builds on the company’s desktop app, giving users access to the AI assistant when they are away from their computer, according to MoonPay Agents Product Lead Kevin Arifin.
“The desktop app is tied to your computer, but sometimes you want to make trades on the go or do analysis when you’re out for a walk,” Arifin told Decrypt. “The Telegram integration is the gateway to do that.” Users create a custom bot through BotFather, connect it to the desktop app, and can then ask the agent to analyze markets, prepare transactions, and monitor blockchain activity.
Telegram was chosen not only for its popularity among crypto users but also for its seamless bot creation interface, Arifin noted. He pointed to projects like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent as influences that showed how AI assistants can operate outside traditional chatbot interfaces.
While Telegram provides the interface, MoonAgents is designed so user conversations and data remain on their own computers. “Everything is saved on your computer, so even if Telegram shuts down tomorrow, all your conversations still exist,” Arifin said. The announcement comes as crypto companies continue developing AI agent infrastructure; earlier this year, Gemini launched Agentic Trading and Coinbase introduced a tool allowing AI agents to trade crypto, while Nous Research released a desktop version of Hermes Agent. MoonPay’s move was also accompanied by a prediction market on Myriad asking whether Base will have its token generation event in 2026.
