The AI drafted his blog post from a Telegram message: cloned the repo, drafted from his old articles, he reviewed and published

Tony Xu recalls using AI as his always-on agent in early 2026: he handed it a blog post draft task over Telegram, and the AI cloned his repository, studied his older articles for structure and voice, drafted the post, and he then checked the structure, facts and wording before publishing. He liked the capability but quit over the upkeep: a self-hosted gateway and services he had to run himself.

How it works

  1. Message the AI on Telegram with the assignment
  2. The AI clones the repo and reads his older articles
  3. It drafts the post
  4. He reviews structure, facts and wording
  5. He publishes

Why it’s worth knowing

A full blog draft was commissioned, researched from his own archive and delivered inside a Telegram chat, with the human only doing the final review.
