You, remembered. Time, kept. Past, found.

From Pro, Percival builds a profile over time: name, goals, habits, plans. To speed it up, tap “✨ Profile” — a short guided chat, not a regular Q&A.

• Answer in one go or in parts; tap “Done” when you’re finished.
• Onboarding does not count toward your daily message allowance.
• View or edit saved facts anytime in the portal or with /summary.
• If your profile is empty, the bot may suggest filling it once after a long pause.

On Free, the bot only chats in DM with you. From Pro — also in groups and when you’re talking with someone else.

• In a group: mention @percivalbot with your question — the answer appears in the chat.
• In any chat: type @percivalbot and your question — choose a ready answer from the list and send it (great in a friend DM where the bot can’t write on its own).
• On Free, you’ll see a subscribe button instead of an answer.

Pro+, DM with the bot only. Forward a post or message from another chat — Percival shows a preview and quick actions.

• Explain — what it means and why it matters.
• Draft reply — text you can send back.
• Summarize — the gist in a few lines.
• On Free, forwards are handled like normal messages.

Three kinds of “memory” — easy to mix up:

• This chat — the last few messages in your current conversation. “Reset chat” clears only this.
• About you (Pro+) — facts and topics the bot keeps long-term and uses in normal replies.
• Search history (Pro+) — past messages you can query with search; not wiped by reset.

Resetting the chat is like turning the page — not erasing the book.

On Pro, choose who you’re talking to — tone and format, not just vocabulary. In the bot (/persona) or portal.

• Assistant — default business helper.
• Business coach — career, product, decisions.
• Friend — informal and warm.
• Tutor — step-by-step learning (academic tutor).
• Teacher — clear explanations with examples.
• Archivist — facts and lists only, no fluff.

On Free and Pro you get the default assistant. Changing persona does not restart the chat (unlike changing AI model).

On Pro, pick which AI answers in DM, groups, and ready-reply lists. Change it in the bot, or in the portal.

• Available models (e.g. Percival 1.0 Pro, 1.5, 2.0) may update over time.
• Reminders and background tasks use the service default, not necessarily your chat model.
• Switching to a different model starts the current chat over. Picking the same one again does not.
• Your profile and search history are unaffected.

my.percival.work — sign in with Telegram on a tablet or desktop (768 px+). Same link as the “🌐 Portal” button in the bot. On phone, you get a short overview and a button to open the bot.

Reminders in the bot (Pro+, DM only):

• Say “remind me at 8pm”, send a ticket photo, or attach a PDF — Percival offers the right time and saves the event.
• Up to six reminders in one request (e.g. morning, lunch, evening).
• Medication type asks for name, dose, and before/after meals if you did not specify.
• If two events clash, you choose: keep both, replace, or cancel.
• At the chosen time you get a normal Telegram message.

Portal tabs:

• Home — AI chat (normal and memory/search mode), usage, share a read-only chat link.
• Facts (Pro+) — saved facts and topics; edit or clear.
• Events (Pro+) — upcoming and past reminders; daily / weekly / monthly repeats.
• Automations (Pro+) — scheduled AI messages.
• Telegram admin (Pro+) — channel publishing, channel statistics, moderation log.
• Settings — language, persona, model, timezone; API keys on Pro.

Pro: the bot messages you on a schedule with a fresh AI-written reply — not a fixed reminder text, but whatever you asked it to do each time. Set up in the portal or with /automate in chat.

• Once a day at a set time, or repeatedly within hours you choose (e.g. weekdays 9–18).
• Pause anytime; resumes when your plan and limits allow.
• Each run uses your daily AI allowance — see the plan table for caps.

Unlike reminders (Pro+): a reminder is “meeting at 3”; an automation is “send me a motivational note every morning.”

Create and publish text posts for your Telegram channel from the portal — best on desktop. Set your channel’s tone once; AI drafts and edits posts; you publish now or on a schedule.

• Connect a channel under Telegram admin → Publishing, describe your style, draft with AI or write yourself.
• Plan posts, keep versions, archive old ones — publish in one click.
• Manual save and publish are free; AI compose uses your daily allowance (see plan table).
• Pair with channel statistics in the same admin section for subscribers, growth, and weekly digests.

See how your Telegram channels perform from the portal — Telegram admin → Channel statistics.

• Add up to 3 channels where Percival is an admin; metrics start from the day you connect.
• Subscribers, growth, best posts, and charts — no third-party analytics required.
• Every Monday at 9:00 in your timezone, an AI digest of the week arrives in DM.

Works alongside Telegram publishing in the same admin section — stats for reach, publishing for content.

From Pro, after you chat in DM the bot quietly notes new facts and topics about you. See everything in /summary or the Facts tab in the portal — delete anytime.

• Used in normal replies so the bot feels like it knows you between visits.
• Clear all memory in the portal or with /forget all.
• Separate from search (Pro+): memory is a short profile; search is full old messages.

In supergroups where you make Percival an admin, optional AI moderation can review messages and captions.

• Turn on in chat: /moderation on · off with /moderation off · check with /moderation status.
• Pro: warn or delete; 100 checks/day, 1 group.
• Pro (full): warn, delete, mute, or ban; no daily cap, up to 5 groups.
• Full log in the portal under Telegram admin → Moderation.

Percival does not message users who blocked the bot. Moderation runs only in groups you explicitly enable.
