Dashboard
Most day-to-day work with Colleague happens in Telegram. The Colleague dashboard is for setup and control: checking status, managing access, connecting services and recovering when something stops working.
Runtime status
Section titled “Runtime status”The dashboard shows whether your agent is ready, starting or offline. If the agent is not replying in Telegram, check the dashboard first. A runtime that is still starting may need a little time; an offline or error state may need support.
Connections
Section titled “Connections”Use the dashboard to connect or disconnect services such as Telegram, Dropbox, Google, OneDrive, GitHub and your model provider.
Personal account connections are optional. Most users can work by messaging the agent and sharing with the agent’s Google Workspace account. Use Dropbox only if you prefer it for file handoff.
Approvals
Section titled “Approvals”New Telegram people and groups do not reach your agent automatically. They appear in the dashboard first, where you can approve or ignore them.
Approval gives that person or group a route to your agent. Approve only the people and groups you want to talk to your agent and review access periodically.
Agent Google Workspace
Section titled “Agent Google Workspace”The dashboard is where you can find account details the agent needs for work, including its Google Workspace email address. Look for the Agent Google Workspace card, then copy the address shown there. Use that email address when you share Docs, Sheets, folders or calendars with the agent or when you send and forward email context to it.
Your accounts
Section titled “Your accounts”The Your accounts section is for optional connectors. These are not required for normal collaboration. Connecting Google, Microsoft or similar personal accounts is powerful because it can let the agent act as you within the access you approve. Use them only when sharing with the agent’s Workspace account or an optional Dropbox handoff folder is not enough.
Model provider
Section titled “Model provider”The model provider connection is managed in the dashboard. When a task needs model inference, Colleague sends the message plus the relevant task context to the selected model provider.
Security controls
Section titled “Security controls”Use the dashboard to disconnect services. You can also stop sharing files in
Google, remove files from Dropbox Apps/Colleague/, revoke access in the
provider’s own settings or ask the team to delete or isolate something shared by
mistake.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”If something breaks, the dashboard may show whether the problem is with the runtime, Telegram, a connector or the model provider.
If you need help, contact support with what you were trying to do, what you expected and what you saw in the dashboard.
