I’m looking for recommendations on Telegram bots that people have actually tried and found useful. I’ve been exploring different bots but there are so many options out there that it’s hard to know which ones are worth trying.
I’m particularly interested in hearing about bots that you’ve personally used and what made them stand out from the rest. Was it the functionality, ease of use, or something else? I’d appreciate if you could share your experience and explain what specific features or benefits made that bot your favorite.
Whether it’s for productivity, entertainment, news, or any other purpose, I’m open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance for sharing your recommendations and the reasons behind your choices!
I’ve tried tons of bots over the years, but the best ones? I built them myself using automation platforms.
Most pre-made bots only solve 80% of what you need. I needed a bot to monitor my team’s GitHub repos, send alerts to different Telegram groups by priority, and update our project management tool. Nothing existing did all that.
Built one with Latenode in maybe 2 hours. It pulls GitHub webhook data, runs it through my logic, sends formatted messages to the right Telegram channels, and auto-updates our PM tool.
Best part? Zero traditional bot coding. Just drag and drop in Latenode’s visual editor. When requirements changed (they always do), I tweaked the workflow instead of hunting for new bots.
Now I’ve got bots for expense tracking, meeting reminders, server monitoring - everything custom-built for exactly what I need.
Why settle for someone else’s version of useful when you can build what actually works for you?
My team wasted hours juggling different bots - one for file conversion, another for weather alerts, a third for reminders. Switching between them and managing all those bot tokens drove me nuts.
Then it hit me. Why hunt for the perfect bot when you can build your own integration?
I built a workflow in Latenode that connects our CRM to Telegram. High priority support ticket comes in? Boom - automatic message to our group chat with customer details and suggested responses. Same workflow handles daily standup reminders and deployment notifications.
Best part? Took 45 minutes to build. Zero bot code. Just connected the Telegram API node to our other tools through Latenode’s visual interface.
Now instead of 5 different bots with their own commands and quirks, I’ve got one custom solution that does exactly what we need. Requirements change? Update the workflow.
Why settle for what existing bots offer when you can build something that fits perfectly?
@BotFather still blows me away after years on Telegram. Yeah, it’s the obvious pick, but creating and managing bots right inside Telegram is just brilliant.
I’ve built a few custom bots for my small business - customer support automation and inventory alerts. BotFather makes it dead simple but powerful. You get your API token instantly, set up commands with basic text, and configure everything without switching apps.
What really got me was the reliability. My support bot’s been running over two years without breaking once, handling hundreds of customer queries automatically. The inline keyboards let customers browse complex product catalogs like butter.
The docs are solid too - any dev can jump in and extend functionality quickly. BotFather showed me the best tools hide all the complexity behind simple interfaces.
@PollBot changed everything for my team. We’re spread across multiple time zones and scheduling meetings was hell before this. The real-time voting interface is what makes it work - you create polls with multiple options, set deadlines, and watch results update live. Anonymous voting killed office politics. People actually vote honestly now instead of worrying about what the boss thinks. The scheduling polls automatically convert time zones, so everyone sees their local time. No more confusion or people showing up at the wrong hour. We use it for everything - picking restaurants for team dinners, making major product decisions, you name it. Takes 30 seconds to set up and exports clean to spreadsheets. Been using it over a year and it’s solved problems I didn’t even know we had.
honestly @storebot changed how i shop online. it saves all my wishlists from different sites and sends price drop notifications. found it by accident but now cant imagine shopping without it - saved me probably hundreds already on stuff i was gonna buy anyway.
