What a Telegram bot is, what it can do, and how to create your first one.
What a bot is
A bot is an automated account that performs tasks inside Telegram — answering questions, polls, reminders, payments, group management and more. Bots are one of the platform strongest features.
Creating your first bot
Open a chat with BotFather, send the command to create a bot, choose a name, and receive an API token. That token connects your code to the bot — keep it secret.
What next
You can connect the bot to simple Python code or through no-code automation services. Start with a small bot that returns a reply, then expand as needed — keyboards, commands and file handling.
