Telegram Commands

The small set of slash commands and natural-language asks Ava understands in Telegram.

Telegram Commands#

Most of the time you just talk to Ava. "Is my Aave position safe?", "top up by 200 USDC", "what changed in my wallet?" — Ava understands plain English. The slash commands below are shortcuts; they do the same things, faster.

Core commands#

CommandWhat it does
/startSet up Ava and scan your wallet.
/portfolioShow balances across your wallets.
/statusList your active jobs and workflows.
/resetStart a fresh conversation.
/helpShow the command list.

The command menu in Telegram only lists what works today. Alert settings (/alerts) and a token watchlist (/watchlist, /watch, /unwatch) are coming; typing them now gets you a notify-me reply instead of an error.

Natural language vs slash commands#

You'll mostly skip the slash commands and just say what you want:

  • "how risky is my Aave?" — Ava checks your positions and explains the risk.
  • "what do I hold?" — same as /portfolio.
  • "earn on my idle USDC" — starts the Earn flow.
  • "revoke my USDC approval to that contract" — Ava prepares the revoke for you to sign.

If Ava is unsure what you meant — for example, "top it up" when there's more than one open position — it will ask before acting. Ava never guesses at actions involving on-chain transactions.

Stopping Auto mode happens in Ava Studio, not in chat: pause a job, turn off the agent permission, or withdraw from your Ava smart wallet. See Revoking Access.

What Ava will never do#

  • Act from your main wallet unless you've signed the transaction yourself (Manual). Auto acts only from your Ava smart wallet, under an agent permission that covers it. Ava holds no keys to your wallet.
  • Go outside an agent permission — call other contracts, spend past a limit it sets, or act after it expires. Your Ava smart wallet refuses these on-chain, and Ava can't create or widen its own permission.
  • Ask for, or reveal, a seed phrase or private key (Ava doesn't have them).

If someone in Telegram tells you Ava asked for your seed phrase: it isn't Ava. Block, report, and contact us at the link in FAQ → How do I stop using Ava?.
