Communication channels
How your AI employee communicates with you and your team.
Supported channels
Your AI employee supports multiple channels. Telegram is the primary default, with Slack and email as additional options.
Telegram
Primary day-to-day channel. Your employee has its own Telegram account for tasks, updates, and file sharing.
- Direct messages for private work
- File and document exchange
- Voice messages with transcription
- Mobile and desktop support
Slack
If your team uses Slack, your employee joins as a real user profile.
- Direct messages
- Channel mentions for visible team work
- Thread replies for organized discussions
- File sharing
Every employee gets an email address on @firstmateworker.com. Enterprise plans can use your own domain.
- Send and receive independently
- Forward threads for processing
- Draft responses for review
- Manage thread follow-ups
Single-manager trust model
By default, the employee accepts instructions from one verified manager identity. Unrecognized instruction attempts are declined and logged.
You can add trusted contacts for approved collaboration cases.
