A Telegram chatbot is an automated software application designed to interact with users on the Telegram messaging platform. These bots can perform a wide variety of tasks, from answering frequently asked questions and delivering news updates to managing group chats, conducting surveys, or integrating with external services like APIs, databases, and websites. Telegram bots operate through a combination of commands, interactive buttons, and natural language processing, enabling real-time, intelligent communication.
Developers use Telegram’s Bot API to create and customize bots, which can be programmed using languages like Python, Node.js, or PHP. Bots can handle everything from simple automated replies to complex workflows and integrations, making them a powerful tool for businesses, developers, educators, and communities.
