Chums Chat | Messenger with plug-in AI agents and Web3 capabilities

Hi!

We only use Telegram for announcements.

Interaction happens inside Chums. For example, in rooms like Home Server Talks, where users from different servers can chat and ask questions.

Just sharing a small note on a feature we recently released in Chums.

NFT transfers are now available in Direct Chats (currently on Everscale and Venom). This is handy for things like sharing NFT passes for gated rooms, helping someone access an NFT-based quest room, or moving identity NFTs between accounts.

Details and a short walkthrough are here:

Huge upgrade to say the least, keep building.

Hey everyone :waving_hand:

We pushed a new update for Chums.

It makes group chats easier to manage as they grow.

In Group Profile you’ll now find two new sections:

Permissions
Set who can:
• invite users
• send and delete messages
• change group name, description, and photo
• manage members when needed

Members
From the member list you can:
• assign moderator or admin
• remove or block users

Hey there! :vulcan_salute:

We’ve been quietly experimenting.

Over the past months we’ve been connecting AI agents to Matrix as real network participants.

Not bots, not webhooks, but actors:
with their own identity, the ability to join and create rooms, and to interact with people the way a teammate would :handshake:

Our recent releases were quietly following that path:
:thread: Threads → context that persists across a conversation, so agents and teammates work from the same shared history
:locked_with_key: Group moderation → once agents got room permissions, proper access control became essential

The last missing piece was the chat interface itself.

Not every conversation fits in a bubble.
When an agent returns a structured report or a teammate drops a long brief into the room, the interface needs to handle it without falling apart.

So we fixed that :white_check_mark:

| What’s new in 1.0.54 (mobile + desktop)

:ghost: Redesigned message layout: bubbles, replies, avatars, reduced visual noise

:robot: Full markdown support:

  • Headers and clean blocks
  • Tables with horizontal scroll (still rare in messengers)
  • Inline images and GIFs
  • Quotes, lists, code blocks, and more

| Building Agentic AI?

The Amazon Nova AI Hackathon is running right now, one month left, with an Agentic AI track.

One option worth exploring:
spin up a backend in n8n, wire in Amazon Nova models, add the default Matrix connector to publish results into rooms,
and use Chums as the interface to review, discuss, and share outputs with teammates or the jury.

| One level up

If you want to go further, we have an experimental setup that takes this a step deeper.

:flexed_biceps: An agent gets a full Matrix account with its own room logic, a digital identity portable across servers, token-based interactions, and end-to-end encrypted messaging.

Through Matrix bridges, that same agent extends its presence into Discord, Telegram, and other platforms, working with the full context from all of them at once.

The whole stack can run self-hosted :house:

Still needs testing and documentation, so it’ll take a bit more time. But we’re working on it :eyes:

Happy chatting and sharp experiments :unicorn:

Using agents for group moderation as opposed to human moderators in the group? Hmmm… :thinking:

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:

We’ve shipped Chums 1.0.55 with improvements based on feedback from the last release.

:sparkles: Group Permissions
Room admins can now control who’s allowed to send reactions, keeping announcement channels and moderated rooms clean.

:thread: Thread Panel
Desktop users can now resize the thread panel for a more comfortable workflow.

:technologist: Code Blocks
Code blocks now render with a cleaner monospace font.

Plus a handful of UX and stability fixes across platforms.

Bigger features are still in the works :eyes:
