# Telegram Agent with Media

> Legacy Telegram media bot with deprecated DALL-E image generation and ElevenLabs TTS

Part of the [Telegram interface](/agent-os/interfaces/telegram/introduction) examples. Follow the [setup guide](/agent-os/interfaces/telegram/setup).

<Warning>
  DALL-E models are deprecated. This `DalleTools` example is retained as a legacy reference and no longer runs against the current OpenAI API. Use `OpenAITools` with GPT Image 2 in [Image Generation Agent](/models/providers/native/openai/responses/usage/image-generation-agent).
</Warning>

## Code

```python agent_with_media.py theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.db.sqlite import SqliteDb
from agno.models.google import Gemini
from agno.os.app import AgentOS
from agno.os.interfaces.telegram import Telegram
from agno.tools.dalle import DalleTools
from agno.tools.eleven_labs import ElevenLabsTools

agent_db = SqliteDb(
    session_table="telegram_media_sessions", db_file="tmp/telegram_media.db"
)

media_agent = Agent(
    name="Media Agent",
    model=Gemini(id="gemini-2.5-pro"),
    db=agent_db,
    tools=[
        DalleTools(model="dall-e-3", size="1024x1024", quality="standard"),
        ElevenLabsTools(
            enable_text_to_speech=True,
            enable_generate_sound_effect=True,
            enable_get_voices=False,
        ),
    ],
    instructions=[
        "You are a helpful multimedia assistant on Telegram.",
        "When asked to generate, create, or draw an image, use the DALL-E tool.",
        "When asked to speak, read aloud, or convert text to speech, use the ElevenLabs text_to_speech tool.",
        "When asked for a sound effect, use the ElevenLabs generate_sound_effect tool.",
        "Keep text responses concise and friendly.",
        "You can also analyze images, audio, and video that users send you.",
    ],
    add_history_to_context=True,
    num_history_runs=3,
    add_datetime_to_context=True,
    markdown=True,
)

agent_os = AgentOS(
    agents=[media_agent],
    interfaces=[
        Telegram(
            agent=media_agent,
            reply_to_mentions_only=True,
        )
    ],
)
app = agent_os.get_app()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent_os.serve(app="agent_with_media:app", reload=True)
```

## Current Alternative

The source above uses removed DALL-E models and is preserved for reference. Replace `DalleTools` with the GPT Image 2 pattern in [Image Generation Agent](/models/providers/native/openai/responses/usage/image-generation-agent) before adapting its media and audio paths. See [Telegram setup](/agent-os/interfaces/telegram/setup) for webhook configuration.

## Key Features

* **Legacy Image Generation**: The pinned bot used DALL-E 3 for images sent as native Telegram photos
* **Text-to-Speech**: ElevenLabs converts text to audio, sent as Telegram audio messages
* **Sound Effects**: Generate sound effects from descriptions
* **Inbound Media Analysis**: Analyze images, audio, video, and documents sent by users
* **Persistent Memory**: SQLite database for session storage
