PoorMad runs where you already are. The messenger layer adapts the same agent core to 20+ platforms.

Supported platforms

• Telegram — bot-based, supports groups and topics.
• Discord — slash commands and thread-aware replies.
• Slack — app home and channel mentions.
• WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, and 16+ more via the gateway adapters.

Routing

Each platform connection maps to a channel. The agent keeps per-channel context and respects platform rate limits. Set a default platform in config.yaml under toolsets.messaging.

Limits & etiquette

• Obey each platform's API rate limits — the agent backsoff automatically.
• Never put secrets in chat; the agent will not echo tokens back.
