Frequently asked,
honestly answered.
Everything you'd want to know before letting a witty bot into your group chat.
Is Gepetel free? +
Yes. Adding Gepetel and using every feature is free. Each group gets a generous daily allowance of replies. The only thing you'd ever pay for is bumping that limit up — and only if your group is chatty enough to hit it.
How do I add it to a group? +
Scan the QR on the home page (or tap Add to a group) to open a chat with Gepetel, and save it to your contacts as "Gepetel". Then open your WhatsApp group → Group info → Add member → choose Gepetel. It'll drop a quick hello and then mostly leave you alone until needed.
Will it spam my group? +
No — being quiet is the whole point. It only speaks when you mention it, when you're clearly replying to something it just said, or when a long-dead chat could use a nudge. It won't butt into your conversations, list its features, or fish for things to do.
What can it actually do? +
The crowd favorite is finding places — ask it for a nice restaurant on the beach in Vourvourou, Greece and it'll come back with the spot, its hours, phone, and what it's known for. Beyond that: reminders (one-off and recurring), polls, splitting bills, generating and editing images, tracking action items, web searches, reading the links you share, and connecting to tools like Trello, Jira or Notion. Just ask in normal language — no commands to memorize. Full rundown on the features section.
Can it talk to Trello, Jira, Notion…? +
Yes. Ask it in the group — "connect Trello here" — and it takes the rest private: it messages you 1:1, sends you a login link for the service, and once you approve, it tells the group what everyone can now ask for. From then on "what's on the board?", "move the venue card to Done" or "every morning at 9, post what's due" just work, for anyone in the group.
It knows the official servers of Trello, Jira, Confluence, Notion, Linear, GitHub, GitLab, Asana, Slack, Sentry, Stripe, HubSpot, Canva, Figma, monday, ClickUp, Todoist, Airtable and more, and it can connect to anything else that speaks MCP if you give it the address. Services that use a key instead of a login work too — it asks for the key privately, never in the group.
Nobody ever sees a token, not even you. A connection belongs to exactly one group; it's never used in another group or in a private chat. Anyone in the group can disconnect it, and the group is told when they do. You can also connect something to your private chat with it, just for yourself.
What languages does it speak? +
Whatever your group speaks. It picks up the group's language automatically and replies in the same natural, everyday register — loanwords and all. It also handles voice notes, images, and shared links.
Does it read all our messages? +
It receives group messages so it can decide whether a reply is warranted and stay in context — same as any group member. Unread messages are cached only briefly and cleared once processed, and its activity log auto-deletes after 14 days. The full breakdown is on the privacy page.
Can I message it privately? +
You can, but a 1:1 chat is deliberately limited to three things: extending a group's daily limit, passing a message to its creator, and helping you build a bot like it. For everything else, it's a group act — that's where it shines.
How do I remove it? +
Like any other member: open Group info, tap Gepetel, and remove it. No hard feelings — it won't even make it weird.
Still curious?
The fastest way to understand Gepetel is to just add it.
