1
Enter your invitation code
Your code is bound to you, works once, and opens one short-lived setup session. It is not your password and cannot expose another person's Bella.
GETTING STARTED
Setup should feel like a conversation, not a project.
If you have your private one-use invitation code, start here. You will create your own Telegram Bella without copying a token or learning a command.
What happens next
2
Name your own Telegram Bella
Tap Open Telegram, change the suggested display name if you want, and tap Create Bot. Telegram securely confirms that the bot belongs to you. You never see or copy its token.
3
Say a normal hello
The cloud workspace and protected backup are created automatically. The website gives you a direct button to your new bot when it is ready.
4
Choose how Bella gets to know you
Pick a quick introduction, a fuller setup, or learning naturally as you go. Every question is optional.
5
Review what Bella may remember
Nothing becomes durable personal memory until you see the exact list and approve it.
6
Connect Google from your phone
Bella sends a secure ten-minute link for Calendar, Tasks, and Bella-managed Drive files. No code copying is required.
7
Approve your workspace and calendar choices
Bella shows the exact Brain Dump, Someday, ToDo, Notes, and Keepers setup, then a numbered calendar checklist. Waiting For is created later only when you approve your first delegated or blocked move.
8
Decide about Gmail later
Gmail is optional and separate. You can skip it and still use Bella fully for planning, tasks, notes, and calendar help.
9
Choose how much initiative you want
Full keeps the same four daytime check-in opportunities every day and can feel like light body doubling. Essentials handles daily administration without daytime check-ins, and Gentle keeps interruptions low. You can answer naturally with more like this, less like this, not useful, or quiet today.
Common questions
Is there an online LetBella sign-in?
No. Telegram is the conversation and identity surface. Google sign-in is used only for the connections you choose.
Do I need BotFather or a bot token?
No. Telegram creates the bot from the secure setup button and sends its credentials directly to LetBella's self-hosted manager.
Can I change the bot's name?
Yes. Telegram shows a suggested display name before you confirm it. The private technical username is generated automatically.
What if Telegram says I already own too many bots?
Stop there and contact the person who invited you. Do not create or delete anything just to finish setup. Telegram controls its bot limit; your inviter can help you choose the safest next step without handling a token.
What if Telegram says the username was taken?
Stop and contact the person who invited you. They can issue a fresh one-use invitation; you can still choose the display name people see.
What if setup is interrupted after Telegram creates the bot?
Reopen this page on the same device within 24 hours. If it says setup needs attention, do not create a second bot—the inviter can resume the owner-restricted setup safely.
What if the Google link expires?
Ask Bella to connect Google again. She will issue a fresh one-use link.
What if I chose the wrong Google account?
Nothing is saved unless the account exactly matches the address entered during signup. Return to Telegram and request a fresh link, then choose the expected account.
Can I skip Google or Gmail?
Yes. The address entered at signup is only an identity boundary. Google organizer connection and Gmail are separate choices, and Gmail is always optional.
Can one family member read another person's Bella?
No profile receives automatic access to another person's conversations, memory, calendars, tasks, or Gmail.
What should a teen and parent check first?
Confirm that Telegram permits the teen to use the service where they live. Together, review Telegram Settings → Privacy and Security for Phone Number, Groups and Channels, Calls, Devices or Active Sessions, and Two-Step Verification. Bella does not give a parent silent access to the teen's private conversation.
