Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it? Please choose a name for your bot.

Good. Now let's choose a username for your bot. It must end in `bot`. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot.

Interact with your Bot using the Web Telegram Org Application
BeepBoop
Bots are simply Telegram accounts operated by software – not people – and they'll often have AI features. They can do anything – teach, play, search, broadcast, remind, connect, integrate with other services, or even pass commands to the Internet of Things
Bots are third-party applications that run inside Telegram. Users can interact with bots by sending them messages, commands and inline requests. You control your bots using HTTPS requests to our bot API.
Many members of our community are building bots and publishing the source code. We collect these examples here. Ping us on BotSupport if you've built a bot and would like to share its code with others
