Your AI, from anywhere.
Channels
Channels let you access Kognisant from any messaging platform. Telegram, Discord, X, or custom adapters. In hybrid mode, your direct messages get full AI assistant access (tools, agents, file operations) while public messages are handled by a configurable persona-driven brand bot with templates, moderation, and content scheduling.

How it works
- 1
Each channel runs as an isolated adapter script in its own virtualenv, communicating with Kognisant via Unix domain sockets (UDS protocol v1.0).
- 2
In 'assistant' mode, messages route through the full chat.py pipeline. Same tools, agents, and context as a local terminal session.
- 3
In 'manager' mode, a brand persona handles public interactions using templates, queued responses, and content moderation. Zero tool access for safety.
- 4
Hybrid mode combines both: DMs from the owner get full AI, public messages get the brand bot.
