The page looks nice and I like the catchphrase, it would be nice to see some samples.

Have you built anything using this yourself?

yep for now it is focused on telegram:

- simple todo/link collection bot with telegram custom keyboard

- markdown from pdf message

- bot that returns top 5 posts on hn

- simple settlement bot

- friend manage to build a bot that after getting a url to recipe generated image about it

- "cookie clicker" app

- basic shop app

What's the actual use-case for this? I actually don't know anyone who uses Telegram, let alone apps on Telegram. But I'm also not friends with any crypto people.

It's pretty popular in Eastern Europe and Russia. In Ukraine railroad tickets are sold through a Telegram chat bot.

I think the main reason people prefer making chat bots in Telegram is that it's completely free and unlimited, i.e. you can create any number of chat bots, send any number of messages with attached files of any size. Their API is very easy to use too.

Pushover support would be great, as one of your targets.

Is the pricing link at the bottom of the page supposed to do something?

Messages/month? Is that the amount of messages the bot does in Telegram? Or the amount of messages sent to the LLM when building it?
