On Telegram
Your strategist, one message away
Ask by text, or send a voice note or a photo on plans that include them. Hugo answers in your own TubeAI account.
Ask about your channel
Hugo works in your own account: your plan, your credits, your history, and your active channel if you’ve connected one. Answers come back as plain text, a few short paragraphs at a time.
Voice notes
Talk instead of typing: send a voice note of up to 5 minutes and Hugo answers in text. On plans that include voice input.
Photos
Send a photo with a caption saying what you want, like a thumbnail to judge. One per message, resized for you, used for that message only. On plans that include file uploads.
Start thumbnails, scripts and more
Ask for thumbnails, a script, titles and a description, viral ideas, or a video or audience analysis. Hugo tells you the cost and waits for your yes, then the bot messages you when it’s done, with a link to open it in TubeAI.
In your TubeAI history
Your Telegram conversations are saved in your TubeAI chat history, on the web and in the Chrome extension, marked with a Telegram icon.
Research on the go
Hugo can look up channels and videos, check what’s working in your niche, and save to your folders and ideas, all from the chat.

Things to send Hugo
Plain questions work best. A few to start with, and what happens next.
What should I post this week?
Hugo starts from your active channel and what’s working in your niche, and answers in a few short paragraphs.
Voice noteWhy did my last video do worse than the one before?
A voice note: transcribed, then answered in text. On plans that include voice input.
PhotoWould this thumbnail stand out next to my best ones?
A photo with its caption: Hugo reads the image with your question. On plans that include file uploads.
Make 4 thumbnails for “I Tried Every Note-Taking App So You Don’t Have To”
Hugo tells you the cost and waits for your yes. When they’re ready, the bot sends a link to open them in TubeAI.
Give me 5 title ideas for a video about budgeting apps
Ideas in plain text, ready to copy from the chat.
Break down @channel’s last month
Hugo looks up the channel and its recent uploads, and tells you what stood out.
Good to know
Costs, limits and privacy
What uses credits, what the bot reads, and how it treats your account.
Each message uses credits
Each answered message uses credits, as in the web app, and is refunded if Hugo fails to answer. What he generates costs what it costs in the app. The commands are free.
One message at a time
Wait for Hugo’s reply before sending the next message. One sent while he’s answering gets a “Still working on your previous message” reply, and isn’t answered later.
Plain text, whole answers
Answers arrive whole, as plain text, split into parts past 4,000 characters. The bot sends no images or files: what Hugo makes opens in TubeAI.
What it reads
Text, voice notes and photos. Files, stickers, videos and audio files get no reply.
Long conversations
A conversation that grows very long reaches a limit, and the bot asks you to send /new to start a fresh one.
Private linking
The bot answers the same whether or not an email has an account, the code expires in 10 minutes, and it can’t be used to log in. Hugo only ever works in the account you linked.
