So I built a small tool called Agent Reachout.

It lets an AI agent send me messages on Telegram when: • it finishes a task • it hits a blocker • it needs a human decision to continue

I can reply directly from Telegram, and the agent continues where it left off.

This turned long-running agent work into something asynchronous — I don’t have to babysit the CLI anymore.

What it does • Simple Telegram bot integration • One-way notifications or two-way conversations • Designed for “human-in-the-loop” agent workflows • Works today as a Claude Code plugin

Why I built it Fully autonomous agents sound nice, but in practice I often want: • approvals before destructive actions • clarification on ambiguous decisions • a quick “yes/no” without stopping my day

Telegram was already where I am, so I used that.

What it’s not • Not a general chatbot framework • Not a workflow engine • Just a small bridge between agents and humans

Would love feedback on: • whether others hit this problem • what notification channels would be useful next (Slack, WhatsApp, etc.) • whether this should stay a plugin or evolve into something broader

Thanks!
