AI Assistants in Beeper

AI assistants can live right alongside your other chats in Beeper. Depending on the assistant, there are a few ways it can show up in your inbox. This article walks through each one, what's supported, and what to keep in mind.

1. AI inside a network you've already connected

Some AI assistants live inside a chat network you already use. A good example is Muse on WhatsApp. Because the assistant is just another contact on that network, it comes into Beeper through the account you've already connected. No extra setup is needed.

What's supported

Sending messages to the assistant from Beeper.
Receiving the assistant's replies in Beeper.

How to use it

Make sure the network (for example, WhatsApp) is connected in Beeper.
Open your existing chat with the assistant, or start a new chat with it from the network as you would with any other contact.
Send your message. The reply will appear in the same chat.

2. AI you add as an account: ChatGPT Dots

ChatGPT Dots connects your existing ChatGPT Dot to Beeper. It uses the Dot's own native messaging, so your Dot keeps its identity, memory, and tools. You're chatting with the same Dot, not a replacement chatbot.

Note: ChatGPT Dots is experimental. It's an unofficial integration and isn't affiliated with OpenAI. Changes on ChatGPT's side may interrupt the connection.

How it works

You add it as an account and sign in with ChatGPT.
Once linked, your existing Dot's chat appears in Beeper.
It connects one existing primary Dot on a personal ChatGPT account or a work or school (workspace) ChatGPT account.

What's supported

Text messages, including formatted (Markdown) replies from your Dot.
Images, files, and videos in both directions (up to 20 MiB).
Audio files (such as MP3, M4A, OGG or WAV) in both directions, up to 20 MiB.
Task cards whose titles and status update in place.
Your Dot's emoji reactions and typing indicators. Read status stays in sync: reading the chat in Beeper marks it read in ChatGPT, and the other way around.
Link previews on messages with links.
Answering your Dot's tool approval requests (for example "Allow download from …?") from the chat, using the options shown on the card: allow once, allow for this conversation or always when offered, or decline.
Messages received after linking are recovered, even after restarts.
Your Dot's name. If you haven't named your Dot, it shows as "Your dot", just like in ChatGPT. If you rename your Dot in ChatGPT, Beeper picks up the new name automatically.

Not supported

Importing regular ChatGPT conversations or history from before you linked.
Group chats, or creating new Dots.
Quoted replies and voice notes.
Sending reactions or typing indicators to your Dot.
Some native message formats, and interactive ChatGPT widgets. Beeper shows a note to open ChatGPT for these.

Privacy and security: Signing in with ChatGPT gives broader account access than Dots alone. Beeper limits that access to signing in, finding your Dot, operating your Dot's chat, and details for tasks attached to that chat.

How to connect ChatGPT Dots

You'll need an existing ChatGPT Dot on a personal, work, or school ChatGPT account.

Beeper Desktop:

Open your Beeper app and go to Settings > Accounts > Add an Account > ChatGPT Dots
Select Sign in with ChatGPT and complete ChatGPT's sign-in prompts.
Once linked, Beeper finds your existing primary Dot and its chat appears in your inbox.
Send a message to your Dot. Replies, task cards and files will show up in the same chat.

Sign in to ChatGPT with a passkey? The sign-in window in Beeper Desktop can't use passkeys. Use Import Logins instead:

Sign in to chatgpt.com in your browser (Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge, Firefox or Safari).
In Beeper Desktop, go to Settings > Accounts > Add an Account and find Import Logins.
Click Scan browsers (click Allow if Beeper asks for access to your browser).
Select the ChatGPT Dots entry with your ChatGPT email and click Import selected.

You stay signed in to ChatGPT in your browser. If your Dot is already connected, it won't be listed.

Beeper iOS:

Open your Beeper app and go to Settings > Accounts > Add an Account > ChatGPT Dots
Select Sign in with ChatGPT and complete ChatGPT's sign-in prompts.
Once linked, Beeper finds your existing primary Dot and its chat appears in your inbox.
Send a message to your Dot. Replies, task cards and files will show up in the same chat.

Beeper Android:

Open your Beeper app and go to Settings > Accounts > Add an Account > ChatGPT Dots
Select Sign in with ChatGPT and complete ChatGPT's sign-in prompts.
Once linked, Beeper finds your existing primary Dot and its chat appears in your inbox.
Send a message to your Dot. Replies, task cards and files will show up in the same chat.

3. Grok Bot

The Grok Bot connector links your Grok Bot account to Beeper. Each of your bots appears as its own chat, with its own name, profile picture, and message history.

What's supported

Text and formatted (Markdown) messages, quoted replies, reactions, and typing indicators from your bots.
Images, video, audio, voice messages and files. Videos can be up to 200 MB and other files up to 25 MB. Previews may vary by file type.
Bots you create, remove, rename, or give a new picture in Grok Bot are synced to Beeper automatically.
Past message history, with more loading as you scroll back.
Routine updates, bot-to-bot messages, questions and cards (such as calendar invites, forms, approvals, weather, shopping and travel results) appear as notices in the chat, with their status. Cards that need an action tell you to open Grok Bot.
Answering or dismissing a bot's question by replying to it.
Read status stays in sync between Beeper and Grok Bot.
If a bot can't answer, for example because it hit a usage limit, Beeper shows a notice explaining why.

Limitations

Bot names and profile pictures can't be edited from Beeper. Make those changes in Grok Bot.
Connector sign-ins and approval controls still need to be completed in the Grok Bot app.
Secret, password and form cards are display-only. Never send passwords or secrets in Beeper; enter them in Grok Bot.

How to connect Grok Bot

You'll need a Grok Bot account with at least one bot. Beeper does not collect your Grok Bot password or import browser cookies.

Beeper Desktop:

Open your Beeper app and go to Settings > Accounts > Add an Account > Grok Bot
Beeper opens Grok Bot's sign-in page in a built-in browser. Choose a sign-in method and follow the prompts.
Wait while Beeper confirms the sign-in and checks your Grok Bot access. You don't need to close or restart anything.
Once connected, Beeper finds the bots on your account and each one appears as its own chat in your inbox.

Beeper iOS:

Open your Beeper app and go to Settings > Accounts > Add an Account > Grok Bot

4. Muse

The Muse connector links your existing Muse account to Beeper. It connects your main Muse conversation, so you're chatting with the same Muse you use in the Muse app, with its name, profile picture, and chat history. This is separate from chatting with Muse through WhatsApp (see section 1).

Note: Muse is available to all Beeper users on Beeper Desktop 4.3.250 or later, Beeper iOS 4.4.2 or later and Beeper Android 4.62.0 or later. Changes on Muse's side may interrupt the connection.

How it works

You add it as an account and sign in with the email or mobile number you use for Muse.
It connects one Muse account, its main conversation and your side chats. Each side chat appears as its own chat in Beeper.
Sign in with the same account your Muse app uses. A different email or number can belong to a different Muse account.

What's supported

Text messages, including formatted (Markdown) replies from Muse.
Images in both directions, with captions. HEIC, AVIF and large photos are converted to JPEG before they're sent to Muse.
Files, MP3 and WAV audio, and MP4 video in both directions (up to 10 MB).
Typing indicators from Muse.
Quoted replies to text messages.
Reactions in both directions. Muse keeps one reaction per message.
Deleting your own messages. Deleting a message in Beeper deletes it in Muse, and messages deleted in Muse disappear from Beeper.
Read status stays in sync between Beeper and Muse.
Your past Muse conversation history.
Muse's name and profile picture. To rename Muse, ask it in the chat (for example, "Change your name to Nova") and Beeper picks up the new name.
Questions from Muse with numbered choices, including how to answer them from Beeper.
Places Muse recommends on a map, shown as a list of places with map links.
Links Muse shares, shown with a link preview.
Allowing or denying Muse's requests from Beeper. When Muse is waiting for approval, a notice explains the request and gives you a code to allow or deny it from the chat.
Browser task, shopping results, letter and Secure Store cards.

Not supported

Creating a Muse account. Set up Muse in the Muse app first.
Group chats. Side chats that come from other apps, such as WhatsApp, are read-only in Beeper.
Editing messages you've sent, or replying to images and cards.
Animated WebP images, other audio or video formats, and captions on audio or video.
Some interactive Muse content. Beeper shows a note to open Muse to view it.
Old files you sent Muse that Muse no longer has. Beeper shows "This attachment is no longer available in Muse." in their place.

Privacy and security: Beeper usually signs in with a one-time code. If Muse asks for your password instead, Beeper asks you for it during sign-in and sends it to Muse. After that, Beeper keeps a sign-in credential so it can stay connected without the Muse app open. If Muse stops accepting it, reconnect with the same account.

How to connect Muse

You'll need an existing Muse account that you've already set up in the Muse app.

Beeper Desktop:

Open your Beeper app and go to Settings > Accounts > Add an Account > Muse
If Beeper asks how you want to sign in, choose Email or mobile number. Enter the email or mobile number you use for Muse. For a mobile number, include the country code (for example, +1 555 123 4567).
Enter the 6-digit code Muse sends you. If Beeper asks for your Muse password instead, enter the password you use for Muse. If your account uses two-factor authentication, or your email or number belongs to more than one account, follow the extra prompts.
Wait while Beeper wakes up your Muse. This can take up to a minute.
Once connected, your Muse chat appears in your inbox. Your chat history may take a few minutes to appear.
