This guide explains how to set up a Telegram bot with Claude Code using an MCP server. It covers creating a bot through BotFather, installing the necessary plugin, and the steps to configure and pair the bot with your Claude session.

• Setting up requires creating a bot via BotFather, installing the plugin, and running `/telegram:configure` with the token to write it into the environment file.
• Multiple bot instances need separate `TELEGRAM_STATE_DIR` values to avoid conflicts.
• Pairing works by DMing the bot for a 6-character code, then running `/telegram:access pair <code>` in Claude Code, avoiding the need for numeric user IDs.
• The bot can reply, react with emoji, and edit its own messages, but has no access to message history—only real-time interaction.

Apple is set to enhance Siri with Gemini, allowing for independent finetuning and improved emotional support responses. The partnership with Google will ensure that user data remains private, and the Gemini-powered Siri aims to provide more accurate answers and better handle complex queries. A gradual rollout of these features is expected, with some launching this spring.

• Apple can independently fine-tune Gemini rather than using Google's stock model, keeping responses on-brand and keeping user data off Google's servers via on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute.
• The upgraded Siri will give direct answers instead of link lists, handle emotionally sensitive conversations with more nuance, and merge command-based and AI-based query processing to better infer ambiguous user intent.
• Rollout is staggered: some features arrive as soon as this spring, while more advanced capabilities like conversation memory and calendar-based proactive suggestions are expected to debut at WWDC in June.

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Health, a dedicated platform for users to discuss health-related topics with the AI. This feature aims to separate health conversations from regular chats and can integrate with wellness apps, while also addressing challenges in the healthcare system. However, OpenAI emphasizes that the tool is not intended for diagnosing or treating health conditions.

• OpenAI says 230 million users ask ChatGPT health-related questions every week.
• ChatGPT Health is a separate space for health conversations, distinct from regular chats.
• It can integrate with wellness apps to pull in personal health data.
• OpenAI stresses the tool is not meant to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
