> This n8n template builds Stacey, an AI assistant that runs inside Telegram. Stacey listens to your messages, understands what you want using AI, and intelligently routes commands to MCP-connected tools — like Gmail, Google Calendar, a blog writer, and more. > > For optimal performance, we recommend using OpenAI’s GPT-4o model. In this template, Google Gemini is used as a free alternative. 💡 Who is this for?
