With over 1 billion monthly users, Telegram is the most popular messaging platform in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
So if you're trying to connect with your users, it makes sense to get a Telegram chatbot.
The anonymity of Telegram can make it a safer option for certain use cases:
- Coordinating with a large number of people (like organizing a public event)
- Support bots for sensitive topics, like mental health guidance
- Communities that prefer usernames over phone numbers (like gaming or crypto AI agents)
No matter the reason, the privacy of Telegram make it a popular deployment channel for AI chatbot builders — in fact, it's the second-most common pre-built integration we offer.
With so many Telegram chatbot options available, it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your business.
Luckily, our company has helped bot builders deploy thousands of Telegram chatbots.
So let's make the most of our in-house expertise — here are 9 of the best platforms for building chatbots on Telegram in 2025.
1. Botpress
Botpress is an AI agent platform designed to simplify building custom AI agents. It’s like customizing your own ChatGPT — that can connect to your existing platforms and tools — without needing extensive coding skills.
The platform offers a user-friendly interface to build any kind of customized bot. It also offers bring-your-own-LLM, so you can use any LLM you want to power an AI bot.
Pros and Cons
One of the biggest pros of Botpress is its transparent and affordable pricing model. You can build a bot for free without a credit card, and if you need additional features you can add them as your usage grows without having to talk to a sales person. They even give users $5 to spend on AI costs to keep it accessible to small businesses.
Another pro is its library of pre-built integrations to other platforms and channels. You can connect your Telegram chatbot to WhatsApp, Discord, Facebook Messenger, etc. — all without extensive (or any) coding.
If you're a dev, then you can build the Python Telegram bots of your dreams. This platform is endlessly extensible — you can connect it to any website, platform, or channel, any way you want.
However, while Botpress offers advanced features, there is a learning curve for its more advanced functionalities. If you want an enterrise-grade chatbot, you'll need some coding background to pull it off.
You can also join the Botpress Discord — at 25,000 builders and counting.
2. Feed Reader Bot
Feed Reader Bot is a Telegram bot that brings RSS feeds straight into your chats. You give it a feed URL— like a blog, news site, or YouTube channel — and it sends updates whenever new content drops. It works in private chats, groups, or even public channels.
It’s great for keeping tabs on stuff without opening 10 tabs. You can follow multiple feeds, organize them, and get alerts with titles, summaries, and links. Some feeds even show images, which makes it feel like a mini news app inside Telegram.
It’s a go-to tool for content junkies, researchers, or community managers. Whether you're tracking product updates or curating niche news in a channel, it keeps things running quietly and reliably in the background.
Pros and Cons
Feed Reader Bot is super easy to set up and works in private chats, groups, or channels. It supports most RSS and Atom feeds, including YouTube, and gives you basic controls over formatting and delivery.
The downside is that it can struggle with broken feeds and doesn’t offer advanced features like filtering or tagging. Managing a lot of feeds can also get a bit messy without built-in organization tools.
3. Zoom Bot
The Zoom bot connects your Telegram account with your Zoom meetings and calls. It’s an official (or Zoom-approved) bot that helps you manage meetings directly from your Telegram chat, without needing to jump into the Zoom app every time.
You can use it to schedule, start, or join Zoom meetings from inside Telegram. It’s especially handy for teams that organize calls via chat and want a quick way to coordinate without switching platforms.
It’s more of a lightweight utility than a full Zoom replacement. It doesn’t handle calls in Telegram itself — it just makes managing them a bit easier from one place.
Pros and Cons
The Zoom bot is convenient for quickly scheduling and sharing meeting links without leaving Telegram. It saves time if you're already chatting with someone and want to jump on a call, and it's a neat option for managing Zoom in group chats.
That said, it’s limited in scope — you can’t join calls directly in Telegram, and some features (like advanced scheduling settings or cloud recordings) still require going into the Zoom app or site. It’s useful, but mostly for basic actions like scheduling and sharing.
4. Eddy Travels Bot
Eddy Travels is an AI-powered travel assistant bot built into Telegram. You can ask it about flights, hotels, and travel tips, and it gives you instant results powered by Skyscanner.
It works like a chat-based search engine for travel planning, but it's not quite a booking chatbot. But you can type something like “flights to Paris next month” or “hotels in Tokyo,” and it replies with options and booking links.
It’s great for casual browsing or quick comparisons without opening a dozen travel sites. The bot handles natural language really well, so it feels like chatting with a travel-savvy friend.
Pros and Cons
Eddy Travels is super convenient for finding travel options on the go—it’s fast, conversational, and works directly inside Telegram. You can search flexibly without needing exact dates or formats, and the results are surprisingly accurate.
The downside is that it doesn’t handle bookings itself; it redirects you to partner sites to finalize everything. It’s also more of a browsing tool than a full itinerary planner, so it won’t track flights or manage your trip details. Still, for quick travel inspiration or early-stage planning, it’s fun and efficient.
5. GetMedia Bot
Get Media Bot is a Telegram tool that lets you download videos, audio, and photos from a bunch of different sites. Just drop a link—YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter—and it sends back downloadable files, sometimes with format or quality options.
You don’t have to leave Telegram or deal with sketchy pop-up-ridden download sites. Everything happens in the chat, and it usually works fast.
It’s especially handy when you want to save something before it disappears or convert a video into an MP3 for offline listening.
Pros and Cons
What makes Get Media Bot great is how frictionless it is. Paste a link, wait a few seconds, and boom — your file’s ready. It supports most major social media platforms, works in group chats, and even gives format choices when possible.
The catch? It doesn’t always play nice with newer platforms or videos that are geo-blocked, private, or super long. Sometimes you’ll hit limits or slowdowns, especially when the bot is busy.
And while it’s awesome for convenience, you’ll want to be mindful of copyright stuff depending on how you use it.
6. Skeddy Bot
Skeddy is a reminder bot that lives right inside your Telegram chat. You just message it something like “remind me to email Alex tomorrow at 9am,” and it’ll ping you when the time comes.
No special commands, no setup — just type like you’re texting a friend. It supports natural language input, recurring reminders, and even time zone recognition, which is wild for how lightweight it is.
If you’re someone who forgets things mid-scroll, this one is for you.
Pros and Cons
Skeddy nails the core feature: setting reminders without breaking your flow. You don’t need another app cluttering your phone, and because it’s in Telegram, the reminders actually reach you where you're already chatting.
On the downside, it’s pretty focused — there aren’t integrations with calendars or task managers, and if you want to manage dozens of reminders at once, it’s not ideal.
7. Spotify Downloader Bot
Spotify Downloader Bot does exactly what it sounds like — it lets you download tracks from Spotify as MP3s, straight through Telegram. Just send it a song, album, or playlist link, and it’ll fetch the files for you.
It pulls clean audio files, usually with metadata like artist, title, and album art intact. The process is simple: paste the link, wait a few seconds, and download directly in chat.
Useful when you want offline access without using the official Spotify app.
Pros and Cons
The biggest win here is convenience. You don’t need to mess around with external apps, and the MP3 files are high quality with tags included. It even works for playlists, which is a huge bonus.
That said, it can occasionally miss tracks or slow down when it’s overloaded.
8. Botfather
Botfather is the OG Telegram chatbot, designed to assist developers in creating their own bots. It’s basically the admin panel for bot developers.
It's an essential tool for any aspiring bot-makers out there, and it has become widely used since its launch. This comprehensive tool offers users a plethora of features that make the process of developing bots easier.
You talk to it like any other Telegram bot, but instead of fetching memes or reminders, it helps you register new bots, set their names and profile pics, generate tokens, and tweak settings like commands and privacy.
If you’re building anything simple on Telegram, BotFather should be your first stop.
Pros and Cons
The main pro? It’s the gateway to all things bot-related on Telegram. It’s stable, easy to use, and gives you access to the essentials without needing a dev console or dashboard.
That said, it’s not flashy—just plain text commands—and some of the options are buried in menus you have to click through. It also doesn’t help you with any actual coding or hosting. Think of it more like the control room, not the factory.
9. Trello Bot
If you’ve ever used this famous task management app, you’ll be happy to know that it has a bot version that you can integrate with Telegram.
Trello Bot connects your Trello boards to Telegram, so you can manage tasks and get updates without leaving the app. You link your Trello account, pick a board or list, and then start creating cards, assigning members, and tracking changes right from chat.
It’s like having a little project manager in your pocket — great for quick task updates or group chats where projects are already being discussed.
You can even get real-time notifications when cards are moved, edited, or commented on, so you’re always in the loop.
Pros and Cons
Trello Bot is perfect if you want to stay productive without bouncing between apps. It’s great for adding tasks on the fly, getting pinged about activity, and keeping everyone aligned inside group chats.
The downside? It’s not built for deep Trello work — no drag-and-drop, board views, or complex filters. You’ll still need the Trello app or web version for anything visual or large-scale.
Build a Custom Telegram Chatbot
Botpress comes with pre-built integrations that allow you to connect your chatbot to Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and more.
A telegram chatbot can sustainably scale your company, provide comprehensive customer support, and even take actions in your internal data systems, like resetting a password.
