# Talking to FansBot (/fansbot/talking-to-fansbot)

Once a channel is connected, talking to FansBot is just messaging it. Depending on the platform you either DM it or mention it in a channel (see the platform notes below) — then it replies right there in the chat. The first time, it introduces itself as **FansBot**, your agency assistant.

## What you can ask

FansBot reads live data from every OnlyFans account connected to your team. A few examples:

* "How much did we earn this week?"
* "Who are my top fans this month?"
* "How many new subscribers today?"
* "How are my tracking links performing?"
* "Give me an overview of @creator's account."
* "Set up a daily earnings summary at 8am."
* "What apps do I have connected?"
* "Search the web for the going rate on PPV bundles right now."

It can also act on your [connected integrations](/fansbot/add-an-integration) — for example, pulling a list of your spreadsheets or your upcoming calendar events:

## How it behaves

* **It asks before making changes.** Anything that creates, edits, or deletes — a scheduled task, a tracking link, and so on — is summarized first with a "Should I go ahead?" confirmation.
* **It never invents data.** If it can't find something, it tells you.
* **It works while you wait.** For multi-step questions, it posts a quick "on it…" and follows up with the answer.
* **It uses your installed skills.** When a request matches a skill your team has [installed](/fansbot/skills), FansBot follows that playbook automatically — you don't have to invoke it.
* **It can search the web.** When a question needs outside information, FansBot looks it up. Web searches are billed separately — see [usage](/fansbot/usage).
* **It can send you files.** FansBot can post files straight into the chat (a CSV export, a generated image, and so on). File size limits depend on the platform: roughly 10 MB on Discord, 50 MB on Telegram, and 100 MB on Slack.

## Platform notes

* **Telegram:** the bot only replies to users on the channel's **Permitted Users IDs** list — anyone else is shown their own User ID so an admin can add them (see [Channels](/fansbot/channels)). Send `/start` to reset the conversation and clear history.
* **Slack:** send FansBot a direct message, or invite it to a channel and mention it.
* **Discord:** **@mention** the bot (for example, `@FansBot`) in a server channel to start — Discord DMs aren't supported. After it replies, keep chatting in that thread without re-mentioning it. Who can use it is set per channel from the dashboard (**Allow everyone**, or a list of permitted members) — see [Channels](/fansbot/channels).
