## About

VELA is a Telegram bot builder that connects your Telegram account to Claude AI and adds real-world capabilities without code. Set it up in five minutes by getting a token from Telegram's BotFather and pasting it into VELA's dashboard. Your bot then gains access to weather forecasts, real-time currency and cryptocurrency rates, reminders, web search, flight search, morning digests, photo and document analysis, and image and video generation.

The free Basic plan includes weather, reminders, web search, morning digest, and price lookups. The Pro plan adds Google Workspace integration (Gmail, Calendar, Tasks, Drive), Notion management, flight search, and the ability to create images, short videos, and sticker packs from descriptions. All features run inside Telegram with long-term memory, so you stay in one chat instead of switching between apps.

VELA runs on the web and works through Telegram's API. The site claims users save over 12 hours per month by consolidating tasks that normally spread across email, calendar apps, note-taking tools, and price-tracking services.

VELA bundles Claude AI with integrations to Google Workspace, Notion, flight search, and image generation, all accessible through Telegram without writing code. The free plan includes core features like weather and web search. Setup takes five minutes and requires no credit card.

Problem
People waste time switching between email, calendar, note-taking apps, price trackers, and search engines to handle daily tasks and information gathering.

Solution
VELA consolidates weather, reminders, web search, calendar management, price lookups, and image creation into one Telegram chat powered by Claude AI.
