Easy setup guide

Let’s start your memory in Telegram.

Take one step at a time. There is no new app to learn—familiar works inside Telegram.

Listen to this guide

Hear the five setup steps in your language

Choose a language, then press Play.

Open familiar in Telegram

Tap the green button below, then tap Start. Your private memory space is created automatically for your Telegram account.

Tell one story

Send a normal message about something you want to remember. There is no form, linking code, or group to configure.

Try your voice

Record a voice note or send a photo. familiar will make the important names, places, dates, and details searchable.

Ask a question

Ask naturally, such as “Where did Grandpa teach me to swim?” familiar answers only from the memories in your space.

Know whose answer it is

Every Telegram user has a separate memory space. Two people can ask the same question and receive different answers based on what each person saved.

Optional family connection

Ask one another, without opening your memory spaces.

Connections carry private questions and replies only. They never let a relative search what you saved.

Name the person

In your private bot chat, create a one-use link using the name you know them by.

/invite Granddad

Send the link privately

When they tap Start, they get their own private familiar—not a shared archive or group chat.

The invitation expires after seven days.

Ask something gentle

Send a direct prompt whenever you want to hear about their day or invite a story.

/prompt Granddad | What did you do today?

What they see in Telegram

A clear question, with consent at every step.

“What did you do today?”

Reply with text or a voice note. familiar shows a preview before anything is shared.
