You’ll need

MiniMax desktop app (Windows/Mac) · MiniMax account/subscription · Telegram bot token (for mobile control)

Worth knowing

The built-in verifier is the same underlying MiniMax model as the agent it checks, just without shared conversation history — an isolated re-check, not a truly independent second model.
