What do people use bots for in Telegram?

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anything really, it’s really simple to whip up a bot for anything. On par with Discord, maybe even a bit easier.

We have a family channel with bots that do calendar notifications and connect to home automation systems.

But I think you can do full on stores with payments using Telegram bots, never tried nor been in channels that do it.

Interesting. I've not used Telegram before, I thought it was just for messaging.
