Two ways to connect Telegram

A public bot from @BotFather, your personal chats via Telegram Business, or both at once. Both live in the same inbox.

A regular Telegram bot via @BotFather

Create a bot in a minute, paste its token into BotB2B and the AI starts replying to everyone who writes to the bot. Best for a company account, ads and links from your website.

  • Created for free in @BotFather, connected by API token
  • Replies to customers 24/7 and collects leads
  • Stop list for people you answer yourself
  • The bot goes quiet as soon as you type in the chat

  • Replies in your personal chats under your name
  • Choose which chats the bot handles and which it must not touch
  • You can take over any conversation at any moment

What the Telegram AI assistant can do

Replies from your knowledge base, collects leads and knows when to call a person.

Replies in seconds, 24/7

The answer delay is yours to set, from instant to a few minutes, so the bot collects a thought written in several messages and does not look like a bot.

Your script, not canned phrases

Describe the business in your own words or write a full prompt: what the bot knows, when it creates a lead, when it asks for help and when the conversation is over.

Knowledge base

Price lists, documents and pages from your site: the bot answers strictly from your data and does not invent what you did not write.

Voice messages

Customer voice messages are transcribed and answered like text.

Handoff to a person

An insult, a request for a manager, a big discount: the bot pauses, marks the chat and the person on duty gets an alert in Telegram.

Leads and CRM

Contacts become leads with a summary of the conversation, delivered to a Telegram group, email, the built-in CRM or amoCRM.

Your team never leaves Telegram

Handoff alerts and replies from the phone, without opening the site.

  • Each teammate links Telegram to their account once, in Settings → Profile
  • When the bot asks for help, the person on duty gets an alert with an Open conversation button
  • The mini app opens the conversation right in Telegram: take over, reply, return it to the bot
  • The duty schedule and auto-assignment decide who gets the conversation and when
