AI Chatbot for Telegram
The AI chatbot for Telegram that answers day and night
An AI chatbot for Telegram is a bot on your group or your business account that learns your business, then answers people on its own. Markleyo reads your website, prices and policies, then replies in seconds, captures leads and calls in your team when it should. From $14.50/month. Telegram charges nothing per message.
- Trained on your own business
- Works in groups and one-to-one chats
- No per-message fees from Telegram
- From $14.50/mo · 5-day free trial
What can an AI chatbot for Telegram actually do?
Markleyo is conversational AI trained on your own business, not the open internet. It answers the questions your group asks every week, captures leads from your DMs, keeps everything in one inbox, and passes the hard ones to your team with the full story attached.
It answers your Telegram group for you.
Trained on your own pages and price lists, it replies to the questions your members ask over and over: what it costs, when it starts, what is left, where to go. Nobody waits for an admin to wake up, and your group stays useful instead of noisy.
It never drops a Telegram message.
Every chat and every lead lands in one shared inbox, whether it came from Telegram, your website, WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger. Your team sees the name, the question and the history in one place, so nothing gets buried under 200 unread messages.
It answers the same questions, forever.
Prices, times, stock, delivery, refunds, joining rules: all answered from your own pages and policies, in seconds, at any hour. Roughly 9 out of 10 of these repeat questions get solved without an admin lifting a finger.
It learns your business by itself.
Paste your website URL and it trains on your pages, prices, FAQs and policies in minutes. Add PDFs or spreadsheets on top. It answers from that library only, so it will not invent a discount or a start date you never set.
It knows when to call a human.
Odd request, angry customer, a refund worth arguing about? It hands the chat to your team with the whole conversation attached, so your agent starts halfway through instead of asking the shopper to explain it all again.
Why do questions get lost in a busy Telegram group?
A good question arrives at 2am, then thirty other messages bury it. By morning nobody can find it, and the person who asked has already moved on.
Questions get buried
- Members drift off when nobody replies
- The same five questions arrive every single week
- New members get no welcome and no answers
- Nobody follows up on the ones who nearly joined
- Your admins answer on their own time, for free
Every question gets an answer
- Instant answers pulled from your own pages
- Handles hundreds of chats at the same time
- Answers at 3am without waking an admin
- Captures every lead and books the calls
- Replies 24/7 in each member’s own language

Best AI chatbots available for Telegram, side by side
Start with the good news: Telegram itself charges nothing per message, so the only bill is the platform you build on. SendPulse from $12 a month has the real group and channel triggers. ManyChat Pro is $29, but its AI only unlocks from Pro up and it does not run in groups. Chatfuel starts at $39, Chatbase at $40, and Botpress Plus at $189 for teams with developers. Markleyo is $29, or $14.50 for your first term with code EARLY50, and the same bot also covers your website, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. Prices checked in August 2026.
MarkleyoHow to integrate an AI chatbot into a Telegram group
Five steps, about ten minutes, no code. Two of them happen inside Telegram itself, and that is where most people get stuck.
Create your chatbot and set the greeting
Sign up, name your bot, write the first line people will see and choose who replies: AI, your team, or both. Telegram is included on every Markleyo plan, so nothing here sits behind a higher tier.
Give it your community’s voice
Add your name, picture and tone, then switch on lead capture so every chat collects a way to reach the person back. In a group the bot speaks for you, so it should sound like one of your admins.
Let it learn your business
Paste your website URL and add any PDFs, spreadsheets, price lists or FAQs you already have. Training takes minutes. After that it answers from your own content only, so its facts match what you actually offer.
Create the bot in BotFather and paste the token
Open @BotFather in Telegram, send /newbot, pick a name and a username ending in “bot”. BotFather hands you a token. Copy it into the channels screen in Markleyo, and your trained bot is now live in one-to-one Telegram chats.
Add it to your group, then your other channels
Open your group, tap Add members and search your bot’s username. Bots cannot join by themselves, and in public groups only an admin can add one. By default privacy mode means it only sees commands, @mentions and replies, so send /setprivacy to BotFather and choose Disable, or make the bot an admin. Then remove and re-add it so the change applies.
AI chatbot for Telegram: your questions answered
What people ask us most often before they switch it on, including the group setting that trips everybody up.
Start freeHow do I integrate an AI chatbot into a Telegram group?
Create the chatbot in Markleyo and train it on your website or documents. Then open @BotFather in Telegram, run /newbot, copy the token and paste it into the channels screen. Finally, open your group, tap Add members and search for your bot’s username. Bots cannot join on their own, and in public groups only an admin can add one.
Why does my Telegram bot only reply when someone mentions it?
That is privacy mode, and it is on by default. In a group the bot only receives slash commands, @mentions and replies to its own messages. To let it see everything, send /setprivacy to @BotFather and choose Disable, or make the bot a group admin. Either way, remove the bot and add it back for the change to apply.
Which are the best AI chatbots available for Telegram?
SendPulse from $12 a month is the one with real Telegram group and channel triggers, so it can welcome and moderate members. ManyChat Pro is $29 but its AI only unlocks from Pro up, and it does not run in groups. Chatfuel starts at $39, Chatbase at $40 and Botpress Plus at $189. Markleyo is $29, or $14.50 with code EARLY50. Prices checked in August 2026.
Does Telegram charge for bot messages?
No. The Telegram Bot API is free, so unlike WhatsApp there is no per-message or per-conversation fee to Telegram. Your only cost is the platform you build the bot on. That is why Telegram is usually the cheapest channel to automate first.
Can a chatbot post in a Telegram channel too?
Yes, but a channel works differently from a group. Add the bot as an admin with the Post Messages permission, and it can publish updates and announcements. Channels are one-way broadcasts, so members read rather than chat back.
Do I need to code to build a Telegram chatbot?
No. @BotFather creates the bot and hands you a token, and you paste that token into Markleyo. Training happens by pasting your website URL and uploading PDFs, spreadsheets or FAQs. There is nothing to install and no code to write.
How many bots can a Telegram group have?
Up to 20. One more thing worth knowing: when a group passes 200 members it becomes a supergroup and its chat ID changes, which is why some older bots suddenly go silent and need reconnecting.
Can it reply in other languages?
Yes. It spots the language someone writes in and replies in that language, across 70+ languages. Handy on Telegram, where groups often mix members from several countries in one thread.
What happens when someone needs a real person?
It hands the chat to your team with the full conversation attached, so your agent picks up halfway through instead of asking the person to start again. Telegram chats land in the same shared inbox as your website, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger messages.
