Its own bot
Create a Telegram bot with BotFather or connect a Slack app, bind it to an agent, and that agent answers its DMs — replying in the same thread you message it in.
Channels
Talk to your agents like coworkers.
Give each agent its own Telegram bot or Slack presence — and approve the sensitive stuff from your phone, without ever opening the desktop app.

The problem
Your agents are stuck at your desk.
So Actionist gives every agent its own chat — and puts the approvals in your pocket.
The solution
Every agent gets its own chat. You get the approvals.
Message an agent on Telegram or Slack and it replies in the same thread — and pauses for your approval before it does anything sensitive.

Telegram and Slack.
Where your team talks.
Bind an agent to a Telegram bot — created with BotFather, bound by a vault token — or connect a Slack app over Socket Mode. Your agents answer where your team already talks.

How it works
Its own bot. Approvals in your pocket.
Approve from anywhere
Agents pause on sensitive actions and post Approve / Deny buttons right in the chat. Tap to decide — the agent proceeds or aborts immediately, without you opening the desktop app.
One bot or many
Give every agent its own bot, or route a whole team through one company Slack app — each agent answers to its own @mention-name, and direct messages route automatically.
Trust & security
Reachable, but never reckless.
Being one message away doesn’t mean giving up control — sensitive actions still wait for your approval, and every run is logged.
Approve before it acts
Before a risky or irreversible action — sending an email, charging a card — the agent pauses and waits for your go-ahead, with a plain summary of what’s about to happen.
Vault-bound tokens
Bot tokens are resolved from your credentials vault at connect time and never stored locally — remove the vault entry and the binding goes stale until you re-bind it.
Scoped permissions
Permissions are scoped per agent and cover all of its tools — Skills and MCP servers included — with per-tool overrides when one deserves a tighter leash.
Audit trail
Every run leaves an audit trail — what the agent did, step by step, reported back when it finishes.
Encrypted credentials vault
Credentials live in an encrypted vault, and secrets never surface in chat — tokens, passwords, and keys stay masked, even inside approval cards.

A local Desktop agent stops responding when your machine sleeps. A Cloud VPS keeps it awake — and reachable — 24/7.
