Ways to talk to Butler

6 min read · June 2026

One of the best things about Butler is that you do not have to learn a new app. It works on the messaging platforms you already use. Whatever fits your day, your team, or your region, there is a way to reach Butler.

Here is the full list of ways to talk to Butler, with notes on who each one is good for.


Global messaging (most people use these)

WhatsApp

Butler works inside WhatsApp. Just add the number and start chatting. Perfect if you already live in WhatsApp for family, friends, and quick messages. Send a voice note, ask about your calendar, or forward an email to Butler and it handles the rest. WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world, so this is where most people start.

Telegram

Fast, reliable, and packed with features. Butler on Telegram supports voice messages, file sharing, and rich replies. Great if you want a dedicated chat with Butler that stays separate from your personal conversations.

Slack

If your team uses Slack, add Butler to your workspace. Ask it questions, get summaries of long threads, or have it manage your calendar without leaving Slack. Ideal for teams that want a shared assistant.

Discord

Butler works in Discord servers and DMs. Useful if you run a community, a gaming group, or a remote team that lives in Discord. Butler can join channels and help with moderation, scheduling, and information retrieval.

Signal

For people who prioritise privacy. Signal is end-to-end encrypted by default, and Butler on Signal keeps your conversations as private as the platform itself.


Built into your phone

SMS / Text messaging

No smartphone? No problem. Butler works over plain SMS. Send a text, get a text back. It works on any phone, anywhere, with no data plan needed. This is the lowest-barrier way to use an AI assistant. Just text your questions and Butler replies.

iMessage (BlueBubbles)

If you are on iPhone, Butler can appear as a contact in iMessage. Full blue bubble experience with read receipts and reactions. Feels native because it is native.

Email

Butler has its own email address. Forward a thread and get a summary back. Send an email asking about your day and get a reply with your schedule and inbox highlights. It is like having an assistant you can CC on anything.


Business and enterprise

Microsoft Teams

If your company uses Microsoft 365, Butler works inside Teams. It can read your Outlook emails, check your calendar, find files in SharePoint, and reply right in the Teams chat.

Google Chat

For Google Workspace users, Butler integrates directly into Google Chat. It has deep access to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, so it works particularly well with Google's ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to pick just one?

No. You can use Butler from multiple platforms at the same time. Chat on WhatsApp in the morning, follow up on Telegram in the afternoon, and check in via email at night. It is all the same Butler.

Is there a native app?

No. That is the point. Butler works inside apps you already have. No download, no setup, no new account.

What about other platforms?

Butler supports more than a dozen messaging platforms. If you use something not on this list, ask us. We probably already support it.
