News

It is 11 pm, the algebra answer will not match, and your English freezes whenever someone expects a spoken reply. Telegram has bots for both, with nothing to install.

We picked ten from the Nidium catalog by audience and usefulness: two explain homework from a photo, four teach languages, two translate, and two help with exams.

The ten bots and their audience

Bot	Job	Monthly users
Solvy	math from a photo, step by step	about 346K
Reshebnik	homework from a photo, two modes	about 283K
Chatty	spoken English by voice	about 322K
English Julia	AI English tutor, B1 course	about 55K
WORD	vocabulary flashcards	about 33K
Listvin Textbooks	German A1 and A2	about 240K
Translator	translation in group chats	about 317K
Translator Bot	text, photos and voice notes	about 58K
CySignsAI	Cyprus road signs	about 311K
EAES Results Bot	Ethiopian exam results	about 395K

Homework from a photo: explanation first, answer second

Both bots read a task from a picture and send back a solution. They pay off when you compare your reasoning with theirs, since the test comes with no phone in the room.

Solvy: math problems solved step by step

Snap the problem and the bot shows the route to the answer, not one final number. It runs as a mini app for school students and for parents who forgot sixth-grade math.

• 📸 Shooting tips:
  • good light, no shadow from your hand;
  • phone held parallel to the page;
  • one problem per shot, not the whole spread.
• 👪 For parents: let the child try first, then compare with the bot and find where the steps split.
• ⚠️ Weak spot: drawings and small handwriting, so type busy problems into the chat.

Reshebnik: two modes for school assignments

It follows the Russian school curriculum, including platform tasks, tests and OGE and EGE exam practice. Starting is free; limits and plans show up inside.

• 🎯 /new mode: a walkthrough of what is given, which rule applies and why.
• /quick mode: a short answer to check work you already did.
• 📌 Strongest in: math and the sciences. Essays and sentence analysis bring more mistakes.

💡 Solvy's own tip: solve the first of three similar problems with the bot, the second while peeking at the steps, the third alone. Plug answers back in, because AI makes mistakes.

Speak up, learn words, read your way to A2

Chatty: English voice notes with error feedback

Record a sentence, and the bot checks grammar and pronunciation, explains the slip and keeps talking. You practise answering out loud, which flashcard apps leave out.

• 🛠️ Settings:
  • /level matches difficulty to you;
  • /topics suggests travel, work, hobbies and more;
  • /voice_speed slows the bot down;
  • /saved keeps words from your chats.
• 🌍 Other languages: /languages leads to Chatty bots for other languages.
• 💸 Money: an unlimited subscription (/unlimited) that can also be gifted. Check prices in the bot.
• ⚠️ Missing: a structured exam program, so use it between IELTS lessons, not instead.

English Julia: a speaking partner, a B1 course and a club

Julia answers voice notes, runs a real-time voice chat and helps with a photo of an exercise. Starting is free, but speaking minutes are limited and extra ones are sold in the bot.

• 📚 Inside: a structured B1 course, translation into English with /translate, and study reminders.
• 🗣️ Real people: a conversation club (/groupchat) and an anonymous chat roulette for practice.
• 🔒 Careful: in the anonymous chat, never share your real name, address, phone or card details.
• Good fit if you read English but freeze when speaking.

WORD: flashcards with streaks and community courses

Words arrive on short cards, lessons earn XP, and a daily streak nudges you not to skip. Take a ready course or build your own; submitted lessons pass moderation before others see them.

• 🏆 Competition: a group leaderboard via /leaderboard and gentle reminders right in the chat.
• ⭐ Paid courses: authors price lessons in Telegram Stars, so read the course description first.
• Downside: cards build vocabulary, not conversation. Pair them with Chatty or Julia.

Listvin Textbooks: German A1 and A2 on your phone

A shop and library for Denis Listvin's German books, distributed by the author himself rather than as a dubious forum file.

• 📖 Catalog:
  • A1 and A2 textbooks;
  • the A1 reader "Lara, Frankfurt";
  • the A2 detective story "Verschollen in Berlin".
• 🎁 Handy: everything you own sits in /library, and /gift sends a book to a friend.
• 💸 Prices: shown when you pick a book. Pay only through the methods the bot itself offers.

Translators for chats, photos and voice notes

Translator: a multilingual group without copy and paste

The bot joins a group like any member and translates messages there. Its description lists 134 languages, the source code is open, and donations are voluntary.

• 🎛️ Three modes:
  • auto translates anything not in the group's main language;
  • forwards handles only forwarded messages;
  • manual waits for a reply with !translate.
• ⚙️ Setup: through /settings in a private chat with the bot, so no button menus clutter the group.
• Keep in mind: rare language pairs and slang come out worse than common ones.

Translator Bot: translation plus a personal word list

Forward a message or a photo and get a translation, no sign-up needed. Useful words can be saved and drilled later as a quiz.

• 📷 Photo and voice: /photo translates text in a picture, /voice transcribes voice notes and video messages.
• 🧠 Word list: /words keeps favourites, /learn trains your own words, /xlearn turns important ones into a quiz.
• Free or paid: the basic mode covers a few translations a week, and /premium removes the limits.
• ⚠️ Do not send passports, bank cards or contracts here.

⚠️ Auto-translation in a group reads every member's messages. Tell the chat before you add the bot, and keep passwords and bank details out of it.

Exams: Cyprus road signs and Ethiopian scores

CySignsAI: a road sign trainer for the driving test

The bot shows an official Cyprus road sign and asks what it means. Answer, and you instantly see if you were right and what the sign really says.

• 🚗 Commands: /next_question for a new sign, /progress for weak spots, /access for your access terms.
• ⏱️ Pace: 15 minutes a day beats three hours at the weekend.
• 📌 Note: Cyprus drives on the left, and the bot covers only signs, not priority or speed rules.

EAES Results Bot: Ethiopia's national exam scores

The official bot of EAES, Ethiopia's state examination service, formerly NEAEA. On results day the website often crashes, while the bot works even on weak mobile internet.

1. Press Start and share your contact if the bot asks.
2. Pick your region if that step appears.
3. Enter your admission number and your name exactly as registered.
4. Screenshot the reply for appeals and university applications.

• 🎓 Free: the official bot costs nothing. Anyone asking for money to show scores is a scammer.
• 📱 Backup: text R and your number with no space to the short code 6284, at the usual Ethio Telecom rate.

Before you pay, and before the test

Several bots here start free and charge for higher limits, Reshebnik, English Julia and Translator Bot among them. A few habits save money and trouble.

1. Use the free tier for a few days before you subscribe.
2. Do not send photos that show your surname, school diary or address.
3. Check solutions against the textbook and important translations with a fluent speaker.
4. In a test where phones are banned, no bot will help.

For a trip abroad, two bots are enough: Chatty for speaking and Translator Bot for menus and signs. For homework one solver will do: Solvy if it is only math, Reshebnik if you also want quick answer checks with /quick.

You want a stranger gone from a holiday shot, an old family photo sharpened, or a profile picture that looks like a film still. Installing an editor for one picture feels like overkill, and in Telegram AI bots do this right in the chat.

We picked ten of them from the Nidium catalog by audience and by job. The first five draw and edit from a text prompt, two handle portraits and templates, and the last three fix photos you already have.

Why Telegram is full of bananas

Nano Banana is a Google model for generating and editing images. Dozens of bots plug into it, so the same name shows up from different developers at different prices.

• 🍌 One model, many tills. Bots resell access to someone else's AI with their own limits and prices.
• 💸 Almost all use an in-bot currency: energy, credits or tokens.
  • A picture costs less than a video.
  • Animating a photo is usually the priciest action.
• Quality drifts. It depends on which model version the owner connected this month.

💡 Test bots on the same photo and the same prompt. Ten minutes and the free starter generations are enough to drop the weak ones before you pay.

All ten at a glance

Image Background Removal	cutting out backgrounds	about 10K

Draw and edit from a prompt

PROTOGEN: the biggest all-rounder

One menu holds art generation, photo animation, simple video edits and trending effects. It is the largest bot on this list, so expect a queue at peak hours.

• 🎨 Good for: a card from a family photo, a moving portrait, a clip for stories.
• ⚡ Payment: in-bot energy, with some free for newcomers. Video burns more than a picture.
• ⚠️ Weak spot: fingers, shop signs and small details sometimes come out wrong.

Matrix Ai: pictures for today's trend

The bot promises trend generations in one click: templates, ideas and captions for social posts. Everything runs in a mini app, and prices and model lists only show up inside it.

• 📱 For: bloggers who cannot keep up with trends.
• Bonus: draft captions and posts for the topic of the day.
• ⚠️ Keep in mind: many platforms ask you to label AI content.

NanoBanana: photo edits in one sentence

Upload a photo and write what to change: remove a passer-by, repaint a car, swap the sky. Images come from the Google model, clips from Veo 3.

• 🛠️ Four modes:
  • edit by text;
  • animate a photo;
  • restore old shots;
  • generate from scratch.
• 🎁 Start: reviews mention about five free generations for newcomers, and a gallery of examples shows prompts that work.
• ⚠️ Downside: the model may nudge facial features you did not ask it to touch.

Nano Banana Pro: an editor with dozens of models

You switch between three versions of the Google model here, and the menu opens a whole set of other AI tools. Handy if you do not want five bots for five jobs.

• 🖼️ Images: Nano Banana, Flux, Seedream, GPT Image, plus an upscale command.
• 🎬 Video and sound: Kling, Veo 3, Sora 2, songs, text to speech and video translation.
• 💸 Money: a token balance. Try a couple of generations on a small top-up first.

Midjorobot: Midjourney through one Telegram chat

The bot bundles Midjourney, the video models Kling, Runway, MiniMax and Sora, plus ChatGPT and Suno. It targets Russian-speaking users and takes Russian cards.

• ⏱️ Free tier: daily generations, but the free queue is slow, 5 to 15 minutes according to reviews.
• 💳 Paid: a 30-day subscription and generation packs. Current prices are on the payment screen.
• 💡 Tip: Midjourney prefers English prompts, so ask ChatGPT in the same bot to expand yours.

Portraits and templates

Lexy: a photo shoot without a studio

Send ordinary selfies, pick a look or a ready photo set, and the bot returns a studio-style portrait. People mostly use it for avatars and business profiles.

• 🎯 Model choice: the bot runs on several AI models, and the same shot looks different on each.
• 📸 The source photo decides:
  • daylight and the whole face in frame;
  • no dark glasses and no filters.
• 💸 Payment: some generations are paid and can be topped up in the menu.

Vibeek: your photo in a trending style

The mini app redraws your photo from a chosen template: face and pose come from you, scene and lighting from the template. Tired of templates? Write your own prompt.

• ✨ Plus: no need to invent a description, the scene is ready.
• 💰 Price: generations come from an in-app balance, and the cost per image differs by model.
• 🔒 Rule: upload only your own photos or those of people who agreed.

Fix the photos you already have

PhotoFixerBot: upscaling in two steps

Press start, send a photo, get back a sharper and larger version. There is also a reverse command that shrinks a picture that is too heavy.

• 🔍 About the result: the AI draws plausible detail, so you get a reconstruction, not the original.
• Tip: do not run the same photo twice, each pass makes it look more plastic.

Improve Photo: family archives and old graduation shots

Running since 2022, the bot sharpens, upscales, fixes colour and restores faces. The author moved to a newer model so faces from poor sources look more natural.

• 📷 Send as a file: then Telegram does not compress the source or the result.
• ⚠️ Limit: on a very old photo a face can come out slightly different, so do not use it for documents.

Image Background Removal: a product on a clean background

Send a picture and the bot returns the subject without its background. Useful for marketplace listings, a plain avatar or a collage.

• ✂️ Works best with: one subject, even light, a background of a different colour.
• ⚠️ Harder: hair, fur, glass and thin wires.
• Save as a file: otherwise transparency is lost.

Other people's faces and your money

All ten bots send photos to third-party services for processing. A few habits save trouble.

1. Upload only your own photos or those of people who gave consent.
2. Skip documents, children's photos from private albums and intimate shots.
3. Do not make fakes that could pass for real.
4. Top up in small steps until you know what your usual tasks cost.

⚠️ Many bots are called Nano Banana. Before paying, make sure you opened the one you picked: the button on its catalog card is the easiest way.

For one photo a month, the free generations in PROTOGEN or NanoBanana are enough. For regular photo and video work, one all-rounder like Nano Banana Pro or Midjorobot costs less than subscriptions in three different bots.

A friend sends a funny trip photo and it begs to be a sticker. You open the official Telegram sticker bot and hit sizes, formats and manual cropping. Ten minutes later the photo is back in your gallery.

Third party bots handle the technical side. Here are six: some cut stickers from your photos and video, one draws you in an illustrated style, one builds headlines from emoji, and one finds packs other people made.

When the built-in editor is enough, and when it is not

Since 2024 the Telegram editor can turn a photo into a sticker by itself. For one or two images that is plenty.

A bot helps when a pack comes from video, a background has to go fast, a channel needs custom emoji, or you want your face drawn. Millions of public packs exist, and the built-in search mostly surfaces the popular ones.

• 🎨 Custom emoji: sit in a line of text like a normal character but look like your own picture
  • Everyone can see them
  • Sending them in ordinary chats and channels takes Telegram Premium
  • Without a subscription you can test them for free in Saved Messages
• 🎞️ Video stickers: the bot fits file size and format, so no manual fiddling

⚠️ A face on a sticker is personal data, paid generations add up, and other people's pictures and characters can bring copyright trouble. Details sit under each bot below.

The six bots at a glance

The order runs from the most all-round tool to the narrowest. It is not a leaderboard, since each bot has its own job.

Bot	Job	Watch out for
fStik	Packs and emoji from photos, video, GIFs	Best with a high-contrast subject
Literally Me	Stickers and photo shoots with your face	Paid, needs face photos
Stickers Pack	Three sticker types and an emoji font	Some features cost money
EmojiTitleBot	Emoji headlines for posts	Sending needs Premium
Stickers wiki	Catalog of packs by theme	Depth varies by theme
Hypestick	Drawn sticker from a photo	Pay in Stars, first try is free

fStik: a sticker pack from a photo in a minute

The most used bot here, with close to half a million people a month. Send a photo, video or GIF and it fits the file to the right size and format.

• ✅ Does: stickers, custom emoji, video stickers
  • Creates a pack and lists your packs
  • Removes a background and makes a round video
  • Downloads the original sticker file or turns it back into a plain image for a post
  • Traces a sticker's source and opens a catalog of other people's packs
• 👤 Good for: beginners and anyone curating a collection
• ⚠️ Downside: background removal struggles with busy shots. Put only your own material in the public catalog

Literally Me: stickers and photo shoots with your face

Upload one photo and get a pack of stickers with yourself, sometimes as video stickers. In the second mode a neural network learns your look from ten photos and renders you in different situations.

• 🎯 Modes: a quick pack from one photo, and a full photo shoot
  • More than twenty ready themes for the shoot
  • Needs sharp photos with one face, no heavy filters, varied angles
• 💸 Price: paid, and exact sums show only inside the bot. Make one pack first and judge the likeness before ordering the expensive shoot
• 🔒 Privacy: you hand over biometric data. The terms open with a separate command, so read them before uploading. Never upload someone else's face without consent, children's faces above all

Stickers Pack: a builder with an emoji font

A plain builder: send an image or clip, adjust the size, crop the frame. It all happens in the chat and nothing needs installing.

• 🛠️ Formats: static, animated and video stickers plus custom emoji
  • You can apply a mask with a transparent background
  • The emoji font swaps letters for emoji symbols, which gives channel sections an eye-catching headline
• 💸 Payment: the bot has a payment rules command, so some features are paid. Check what and how much before you pay
• 📌 Versus fStik: smaller audience, more focus on formats. Choose by whichever menu feels familiar

EmojiTitleBot: a headline made of animated emoji

Send a line of text, such as the name of a column, and the bot returns a set of emoji that spell it out. Add the set to your account and paste the headline into a post.

• ✅ Does: builds lettering out of custom emoji
  • A merge command folds several titles into one pack, so you do not keep ten tiny sets
• 🎯 Example: a cooking channel posts a recipe every Friday. After a couple of weeks subscribers recognise the column before reading a word
• ⚠️ Telegram limit: sending these emoji in ordinary chats and channels takes Premium. Subscribers see the animation without one

Stickers wiki: find a ready pack by theme

This bot finds rather than makes. The main catalog reads like a library with packs sorted into roughly eighty themes. Find a pack, tap a button, get the sticker in chat and add the set.

• 🎁 Inside: anime, cartoons and games, music, animals, memes, holidays
  • The mini app has lists of funny, popular and new stickers
  • The project claims over a million free stickers and daily additions
• ⏱️ Expect: dozens of packs for popular themes, a handful for niche ones
• 🛠️ Housekeeping: delete unused packs once a month, or the panel turns into a junk drawer. On an old phone pick static and animated sets over video

Hypestick: a drawn sticker from your photo

The narrowest bot with the smallest audience. Upload a shot, type what the sticker should say, and about a minute later you get a drawing in one illustrated style. The project advertises no other styles.

• 💸 Payment: Telegram Stars, inside the bot
  • A new user gets one free try
  • Extra credits come from invited friends, giveaways and promo codes
  • The price of one generation is shown in the bot and can change
• 🎁 When to pick it: a gift sticker for a birthday, a family chat or a work group. For a pack of ten images, the universal bots are cheaper and more flexible
• 🔒 Risk: photos are processed on the operator's server. Keep documents and frames with personal details out of it

Before you upload a face or someone else's picture

If you are sending photos to a neural network service, go through these steps.

1. Pick even light, a large face and one person in the frame.
2. Check the background: no documents, cards or addresses.
3. Make sure the picture is yours and anyone in it agrees.
4. Look up the price in the bot and make one test sticker before a big purchase.
5. Read how the service stores photos.

💡 A sticker reads well on a small screen when there is air around the subject, the frame is not crowded and the whole pack shares one palette.

One general bot is enough for a first pack. Take a single picture from your gallery and you will see the result in a minute.

It is evening, your phone is in your hand, and storage is already full of photos. Another download feels like a chore, then someone drops a chat link: it runs inside Telegram. Five seconds later you are bouncing up platforms.

The messenger has hundreds of games, and they differ a lot. Some fill five quiet minutes, some need friends, some push tokens and daily quests. Below are six games and catalogs: what works, what tires you out, where to be careful.

Three kinds of games and one rule

The first wave of tap games and token waiting lists is over. Reports this year agree: the gaming audience stopped growing fast and play to earn has cooled. People tired of airdrops that paid pennies. The reports disagree on figures, so trust only the direction.

Three kinds of games now sit side by side, with some hybrids.

• 📚 Catalogs of light games: open with no install or sign up
• 👥 Group games: a bot hosts the match in a chat
• 🪙 Wallet projects: tokens, prize seasons, quests

💡 A game that promises a token reward charges you in time and sometimes in data. That is why each entry below says whether crypto is involved.

Six games and bots

Game	Format	Crypto	Paid parts
PlayDeck	Catalog of 250+ games	None in the pure sense	Purchases with Stars
Gamee	Mini games and prize seasons	Yes, payouts to a TON wallet	Prizes are earned by activity
Bytecoin	Game currency and guessing	No, coins are in-game	No purchases so far
Crocodile	Word game in a group chat	No	Premium for chats
BunkerRP	The Bunker role game	No	Free
Uni Jump	Arcade on TON	Yes, UNICOIN airdrop	No deposit needed

PlayDeck: a catalog of 250+ free games

The easiest place to start. The mini app collects over 250 games: puzzles, arcade, racing, runners, strategy, simulators. Progress is tied to your Telegram account, so you can pick up on another device.

• ✅ Good: nothing to download
  • Games are light and load fast even on a weak phone
  • You can sample many genres without using up storage
• 💸 Money: no crypto in the pure sense, but there are purchases with Telegram Stars: lives, boosters, skins. Each charge needs a separate confirmation, yet if a child uses the phone, check the payment settings
• 🎁 Bonuses: a lucky wheel, surprise bundles, daily rewards. Mechanics change, so treat them as a game perk and not as income
• ⚠️ Downside: quality is uneven, and some games get dull quickly

Gamee: prize seasons and TON payouts

The platform launched games in the messenger back in 2016. Short mini games, quests, seasonal campaigns. In spring 2026 it ran Gold Fest with a 500 thousand dollar prize pool in gold backed tokens plus themed Telegram gifts.

• 🎯 How prizes were split: by activity, not leaderboard rank
  • Games, tasks and invited friends earned energy
  • Energy turned into points and a share of the pool
  • Payouts went to a TON wallet
• 🪙 Price risk: a pool announced in dollars can be worth something else on payout day
• 🔒 Wallet: use a separate one and never share the secret phrase. Connecting exposes your public blockchain address
• ⏱️ Time: quests stretch sessions, so set a limit such as twenty minutes a day

⚠️ Before linking a wallet, read what data the platform collects: the privacy command explains it.

Bytecoin: coins, transfers and guessing in chats

A mini app with internal coins. You check them with a chat command, send them to friends and spend them in games. The interface and channel are in Russian. Starter coins come from the channel as checks, links with limited activations.

• 🎯 Main game: guessing, where a long streak of correct answers raises the multiplier
• 📌 Do not mix up: the name matches an old cryptocurrency, but in Telegram this is a game currency. Do not count on exchanging coins for real money
  • Add the bot to a group and members can run small contests
  • Agree with the admins first so the bot does not drown the main conversation
• ⚠️ Risk: a rising multiplier works like gambling. Each next bet is riskier, and the urge to play one more round is strong. If buying coins for real money appears, count it as spending on play

Crocodile: explain the word without related words

Add the bot to a group and send the start command. Whoever pressed first becomes the host: the secret word arrives in their private window with the bot, and they describe it in the chat without using related words.

1. Everyone else posts guesses in the chat.
2. The first correct guess scores a point.
3. The bot supplies words, counts points and keeps tables: top players, a global rating, a comparison of chats, personal stats.

• 🎁 Price: free, and premium is needed only by chats that want extra settings and a rating reset
• 🛠️ Modes: there is hangman, and since spring 2026 the bot works in groups with topics, so the game can live in its own thread
• ✅ Crypto and gambling: none, though competition between people can hook you

💡 If the bot does not see answers in a group, it almost certainly lacks access to messages. Check its permissions.

BunkerRP: who gets into the shelter

Disaster outside, not enough room in the shelter, and you decide. The bot deals each player a hidden set: profession, health, age, hobby, phobia and luggage. Round by round, players reveal cards and argue why the group cannot survive without them, then vote.

• 🎯 How you win: by arguing well, luck matters less
  • The bot counts votes and wraps up the result, so no paper cards or human host
  • Best with six or more people, a match takes half an hour to an hour
• ⏱️ Tip: agree on speaking time beforehand, or one talkative player will stretch the round
• 🎁 Price: free, with service terms behind a separate command. No crypto, no gambling
• ⚠️ Downside: nothing to do alone, you need a lively group. If your character card never arrived, check that you started the bot yourself in a private chat

Uni Jump: an arcade with an airdrop behind it

A unicorn hops up platforms, dodges monsters and collects tickets. The character bounces by itself and you pick the direction, so a run takes a couple of minutes. The game runs on the TON blockchain.

• 🪙 Crypto: the heaviest on the list
  • Tickets give a share of a future UNICOIN token drop
  • The team says 85 percent of the supply is reserved for the community
  • The release date, listing and price have not been announced
• 💸 Withdrawal: new players get 0.25 TON, and withdrawals open at 2 TON. That is eight times the welcome bonus, reachable only through in-game events
• ⚠️ Careful: airdrops often disappoint, and after months of activity players received small sums. Put no money of your own in and do not spam invitations

Five questions for any game with a wallet

Before getting hooked on a game with rewards, run through the list.

1. Is there a token or TON, and is a cash reward promised?
2. Does it ask for a wallet? Then create a separate one and keep nothing important in it.
3. Are there purchases with Stars, and is every payment confirmed?
4. Is income promised for inviting friends?
5. How much time a day will you give it? Set a timer.

⚠️ Close the game if it asks for a wallet secret phrase, promises guaranteed income or pushes you with lines like "act today".

If a child plays, turn off quick payment on the phone and talk through the rules first. For a group, pick Crocodile or Bunker: both are free, have no crypto and work right away.

A friend shows you their profile: a numbered gift with a rare backdrop and pattern. Yours holds a plain teddy bear. Ten minutes later you are reading about cases, NFT upgrades and selling things for Stars.

Mini apps have grown around gifts, and some raffle them, some spin them in a reel, some send them into a fight. Here is how that works and where the money hides.

Where collectible gifts came from

Gifts arrived in autumn 2024. In early 2025 they became upgradeable to collectibles: each has a number, model, backdrop and pattern, and lives on the TON blockchain. Telegram then added a marketplace where they sell for Stars.

• January 2026: a collectible can be worn as an emoji status, and the profile picks up an effect and a backdrop in its colors.
• 🛠️ February 2026: crafting. Up to four gifts merge into one rarer gift, with the outcome decided by probabilities.
• 📌 Scale: there are over a hundred collections now.

The market cooled after its peak. Third-party trackers showed trading volumes for popular collections falling in early 2026. Top pieces sold for tens of thousands of dollars, but those are single cases.

What sets a gift price

A regular gift is cheap to buy and converts back to Stars at a loss. Upgrading to a collectible costs money too, and sources quote different amounts, so check the figure inside Telegram itself.

• 🎯 Rarity comes from model, backdrop, pattern and number. A low number with a rare backdrop is worth more, though that is taste and demand.
• 💸 Judge a case win by recent sales of similar gifts on the marketplace, not by the prize description.
• ⚖️ Income from digital assets and gambling are regulated differently from country to country. For sizable sums, check the rules where you live.

💡 Three of the four apps below run on chance and one runs on strategy. That gap matters more than any interface.

Four apps: reels, a wheel and an arena

App	Mechanic	How Stars get spent	Main risk
Gift Go	Cases with a reel	You pay per opening	Few public rules, requests for extra permissions
Easy Gift	Cases, demo mode	One free case a day, the rest cost Stars	Prizes often cheaper than the case
Gift Spinner	Wheel and cases	Daily tries are free, extras cost Stars, TON or gifts	Unclear odds once you top up
Gift Kombat	Battles of NFT gifts	You need your own collectible	Rewards are not guaranteed

Gift Go: a reel hundreds of thousands spin

The most widely used app on the list, with hundreds of thousands of monthly users. You pay a little, tap a button, the reel spins and a prize appears.

• ✅ Inside: cases with a shot at a rare gift.
  • Public descriptions say little about the rules.
  • Read the odds and the prize list in the app before your first payment.
• ⚠️ Downside: most prizes are worth less than the case, or the service would not last.
• 🔒 Permissions: if the bot asks to manage your gifts and Stars through Telegram Business, say no.
• 👤 Fits you if you accept gambling mechanics and set a budget first.

Easy Gift: cases with a demo mode

Cases for Stars with gifts of different value inside, collectibles among them. There is one free case a day and a demo that shows the mechanics at no cost.

• 🎁 Plus: you can practice in the demo and pay nothing.
  • A won gift can be kept, sold or moved to your account.
  • Check its real price on the Telegram marketplace, which is often lower than hoped.
• ⚠️ Fair warning: the free case usually returns a couple of Stars and a collectible drops rarely. Catalogs file the app under gambling.
• 💸 Refunds: spent Stars do not come back.
• 👤 Best for: anyone trying cases with the demo and a hard limit.

Gift Spinner: a wheel for every day

A daily wheel and cases, a collection of won gifts, trading with friends and a leaderboard. No sign-up, everything runs inside Telegram, and around 150 thousand people use it monthly.

• 🎁 Free: the daily tries. If you stay on those, it is a calm two-minute game.
• ⚠️ Where it shifts: the app offers extra tries or cases for Stars, TON or gifts. From there the mechanics lean toward gambling and the odds are unclear.
• 📌 Price check: ordinary gifts are worth little, collectibles noticeably more, so compare with the marketplace.
• 👤 Fits you if you want a light routine and plan to pay nothing.

Gift Kombat: your gift enters the arena

The only app here where the result depends on more than luck. A collectible gift becomes a fighter, and you decide where to put the experience.

• 🛠️ How it plays:
  1. Pick a gift as your fighter.
  2. Spend experience on strength, speed or a special move.
  3. Find artifacts and fight other players.
• ⏱️ Pace: fights are short and a few minutes is enough. There is a chest hunt and a ranking.
• 🔒 Before you start: you need at least one gift upgraded to an NFT. The bot's help command explains how to link it. Read that first and understand what stays in your profile.
• ⚠️ Downside: rewards are promised but income is not, and gift prices and reward rules change. The project began as an alpha test, with news in its official channel.

Seven rules that protect your Stars

In cases you pay for randomness and lose on average. In battles you risk time and a gift, and your choices affect the outcome, though chance remains.

1. ⏱️ Budget: an amount you can afford to lose. Hit the limit, close the app.
2. 🎯 No chasing: a losing streak does not improve the next opening.
3. 📌 Odds: if the prize list and probabilities are hidden, stop.
4. 💸 Prize versus case price: check the marketplace, not the shiny picture.
5. 🔒 Permissions: never give a third-party bot control of gifts and Stars.
6. 🛠️ Bot name: lookalikes are everywhere, so compare names.
7. ⚠️ Private messages: a request to send a gift for a check or a bonus is a scam.

Parents: teenagers pick up these mechanics fast. See if your child has linked payment methods, and explain that a random prize is not income.

⚠️ Stars bought in Telegram cannot officially be cashed out. A collectible sells for Stars on the built-in marketplace or moves to NFT platforms through TON, and its price can fall faster than it rose.

Once a week, open your spending history and compare it with what you won. The numbers sober you up better than any advice.

You open Telegram for the tenth time this hour and it is the same blue bubbles on the same background. A friend runs a channel with animated headlines, another has a profile that glows, and yours still looks like it did on day one.

Here is what you can change in 2026, where the limits sit, and which bots help.

What you can change and what others will see

The toolkit is the same: themes, wallpapers, profile colors, emoji statuses and custom emoji. Updates keep coming. The October 2026 desktop release fixed wrong date colors in some custom themes, and beta builds added custom emoji made from video stickers and a richer image editor.

Since early this year a collectible gift can be worn as an emoji status, giving the profile an effect and a backdrop in the gift's colors.

• 👀 Only you see: themes and wallpapers.
• 🌐 Everyone sees: emoji statuses, fonts in your name, emoji in posts.
• 💎 Needs Premium: custom emoji from packs. Standard emoji are open to all.

💡 What looks great on your screen can turn into empty squares on an older phone. Be bold with what only you see, and test readability for what others see.

Four bots for four jobs

Bot	Good for	Monthly audience	The catch
Shrifttop	Themes, language packs, fonts, stickers	about 37 thousand	Special-character fonts are hard to search
Themes, Stickers, Fonts and Wallpapers bot	Themes, stickers, fonts, wallpapers	about 20 thousand	A theme may not fit your device
Steam Profile Design	Styling a Steam profile	a few thousand	Needs Steam level 10, payment goes to a third party
EmojiTitleBot	Lettering from custom emoji	about 32 thousand	Only Premium users can send such emoji to chats

Shrifttop: four shelves in one bot

Themes, language packs, fonts and stickers. You send the start command, browse the catalog and press buttons from there.

• ✅ How it installs: themes and languages go through built-in Telegram tools.
  • Tap a link or file and confirm.
  • The default look returns through the appearance settings.
• 🎁 Plus: everything is reversible, which makes it the safest first try.
• ⚠️ About fonts: that text is built from special characters. It is hard to search, shows as squares on older systems, and screen readers handle it oddly. Fine for a profile name, worse for messages that matter.
• 🔒 Red line: a theme or pack never needs an SMS code or password. If asked, close the chat.
• 👤 Fits you if you want everything in one place.

Themes, Stickers, Fonts and Wallpapers bot: wallpapers first

A similar idea with a Russian-speaking slant and wallpapers instead of language packs. Press start and pick one of four sections.

• 🎯 Strength: simplicity. One command in the menu, the rest is buttons.
• 🛠️ If a theme will not apply: look at the format. Android, iPhone and desktop take different files, so try another theme or open it on the right device.
• 📌 Tip: keep three or four sticker sets you really use, or the panel turns into a junk drawer. Choose dark, muted wallpapers so light text on bubbles stays readable.
• 🔒 Trap: never enter a login code in a check to receive a theme, that is a classic scam.
• 👤 Best for: wallpaper and sticker fans. It overlaps a lot with the previous bot, so choose by which catalog feels easier.

Steam Profile Design: dressing up a Steam page

A different subject: this bot is about Steam, not Telegram. It sells ready-made animated kits and takes custom orders. It is unofficial and has no tie to Valve.

• 💸 Also on offer: Steam points, promo codes, referral bonuses.
• ⚠️ Beginner trap: profile display shelves open only at Steam level 10.
  • Below that, a purchased kit has nowhere to go.
  • Level rises by crafting badges from trading cards.
  • Check yours before paying.
• 🔒 Access: you upload the files yourself. Never share a login, password or Steam Guard code, and any request for them means stop.
• ⏱️ Money and timing: you pay a third party, so confirm price and deadline first.
• 👤 Fits you if you game and care how your profile looks. Too narrow for everyone else.

EmojiTitleBot: an emoji headline in a minute

The flashiest tool here for channel authors. You send text, say a section name, and the bot builds a set of custom emoji that spell it out.

1. Start the bot.
2. Send a word.
3. Get a pack and add it to your account.
4. Put the lettering at the top of a post.

• 🛠️ Bonus: a merge command joins several sets into one, so you do not collect ten tiny packs.
• 💎 Condition: only Premium owners can send custom emoji to regular chats and channels. Everyone can see them. Without a subscription, try a pack for free in Saved Messages.
• 🎯 Length: one to three words. Long emoji text is hard to read on a phone, so repeat anything important in plain text.
• 👤 Fits channel authors and anyone making greeting posts.

A sensible order and the traps on the way

Pick a mood first: calm dark, bright or strict. Choose the theme and wallpaper to match so they do not fight. Then move to what others see.

1. 📌 Start with reversible changes: themes and wallpapers switch back in a couple of taps.
2. 🎯 Decorate your name and bio with one or two tricks, since five fonts in one line look sloppy.
3. 🛠️ For a channel, use one emoji lettering at the top of a section's posts, and readers will learn it fast.
4. 👀 Ask a friend with a different phone to open your profile and a post. Squares or unreadable lettering mean you should simplify.

Money is not always needed. Themes, wallpapers and emoji packs are free, and a Steam design or Premium makes sense once you know you will use it regularly.

⚠️ Styling never needs an SMS code, a password or an account login. Do not send bots personal photos for personalized processing until you know where they go.

If you style a channel for readers, run a short poll: do they like the animated headlines or find them distracting? Swap the lettering any time. Restrained setups tend to look best: one accent color, a clear font and short lettering.

It is Monday morning, your group has three thousand members, and forty fresh accounts with no profile photos have just posted the same invite to an "investment club". You delete them by hand, and an hour later the second wave arrives.

Below are six bots from our catalog. Each covers one piece of the problem: spam filtering, captcha, auto-approving join requests or cleaning a channel audience. One bot rarely does it all, so the end of the article puts them into a working setup.

Spam in 2026 looks respectable

Broken sentences with a link are history. Accounts are warmed up for weeks and given a photo first. Raids come in batches, and a fake "admin" follows up in private messages about a "wallet verification".

Telegram has its own tools: built-in spam protection for groups above 200 members (with a stricter mode), join approval, slow mode and limits for newcomers. Crude mass posting stops there. A careful attack needs rules tuned to your community, a captcha and shared spammer databases.

💡 Start with Telegram's built-in protection and add bots to plug specific holes. It makes it much easier to see who filters what.

Six bots worth a try

Combot: an all-rounder with a shared spammer list

Moderation, captcha, raid protection, triggers, scheduled posts and analytics in one bot. Its signature feature is CAS, a shared spammer database. An account caught spamming in one protected group gets blocked from yours before it types a word.

• ✅ Free tier:
  • moderation, captcha, anti-raid
  • a post scheduler
  • 32 days of stats
• 💸 Prices: Pro is 9.99 USD per month for non-commercial communities only. Commercial use needs Business at 100 USD per month. Check the panel for current prices.
• ⚠️ Downside: a ban in the shared list is nearly impossible to appeal, even for a hacked account.
• 🎯 Pick it if you want order and analytics.

GRIZZLY: a manager that speaks Russian

Commands are typed in Russian and start with a dot, which is handy for Russian-speaking admins and mostly useless if you do not read the language.

• 🛠️ Toolkit: warnings, welcome messages, rules, plugins and a hierarchy where the owner appoints admins and admins ban and warn.
• 🎁 Nice touch: an amnesty command lifts every ban at once when moderation went too far.
• 🔒 Captcha: opens with one command and stops most raids at the door.
• ⚠️ Careful: unofficial wikis list commands from other versions, so check the current reference. Paid features, if any, are shown in the bot menu. Look there before connecting it to a large chat.

Anti Spam Bot: quiet cleanup in five minutes

A narrow job: remove ads, invites to other channels and repeated messages. The interface comes in Russian and English, and there is a separate support bot and a news channel.

• ⏱️ Setup:
  1. add the bot to the group
  2. make it an admin
  3. give it the right to delete messages
• 👤 Fits small and mid-sized chats that want cleanup without configuration. There are no triggers or analytics, it is a filter.
• 📌 Tip: when it removes a normal message, check whether the account is new or the text has a suspicious link. If it repeats, write to support.

TGuard: subscriber scan and surge alerts

It works with the audience of channels and groups: it shows the share of real people and bots among subscribers and checks newcomers against a base of known bots.

• ✅ Also does:
  • runs a captcha
  • sends an alert when hundreds of accounts arrive through one link
  • tracks subscriptions in real time and has an SOS mode (added in early 2026)
• 🔒 Removal: only after you confirm. Bot detection is probabilistic and a real person with an empty profile can land on the list, so read it yourself.
• 📌 For channel buyers: a report with a cleanliness percentage and a grade from A+ to E. It is the bot's own estimate, and the buying decision stays with you.
• ⚠️ Downside: independent reviews are few. Grant minimal rights and read the pricing inside the bot first.

Auto Accept Request Bot: requests approve themselves

It does one thing: approves join requests when an invite link requires approval. There are two commands, /start and /help, and almost nothing to configure.

• 🛠️ Launch: add it as an admin, enable the right to invite via link, and share that exact link.
• 🎯 Rescues you after an ad post or a mention in a big channel, when requests arrive by the hundreds.
• ⚠️ Risk: bots and spammers walk in with everyone else. For private or paid channels think about manual review, and keep separate moderation in the chat.
• ❓ Accepts nothing? The usual causes are a regular link with no approval request, missing admin rights, or the invite right switched off.

Majburiy Post Bot: Uzbek bot with a big audience

Around 155 thousand monthly users and an Uzbek-only interface. The name translates as "mandatory post bot", and bots of this type usually make members meet a condition, such as joining a channel, before writing in a group.

• ⚠️ Downside: the bot page gives no detailed feature list, and without the language you would be learning by trial.
• 🧪 How to try: on a spare group with a second account. Keep one or two conditions, or newcomers will leave before reading the rules.
• 🔒 Token: never share it. If it leaks, reissue it through the official bot-creation bot.

All six on one screen

Bot	Job	Keep in mind
Combot	Moderation, captcha, analytics	Shared bans are hard to appeal
GRIZZLY	Moderation in Russian	Check commands against the current reference
Anti Spam Bot	Cleaning ads and repeats	No triggers or analytics
TGuard	Audience scan, surge protection	Bot detection is probabilistic
Auto Accept Request Bot	Auto-approving requests	Lets spammers in too
Majburiy Post Bot	Mandatory conditions for members	Uzbek-only interface

A setup for a mid-sized community

1. 🧱 Core: one manager with captcha and rules, Combot or GRIZZLY, depending on language and habits.
2. 🛡️ Spam filter: Telegram's built-in protection plus a dedicated anti-spam bot if the chat is small or needs custom rules.
3. 🚪 Channel entry: auto-approval only during a surge, then back to manual review.
4. 🔍 Audit: scan the channel monthly and compare reach before and after cleanup.

⚠️ Before granting admin rights, check what the bot asks for. An anti-spam bot needs the right to delete messages and restrict members. It has no use for inviting users or adding admins.

The first day after connecting

• 📌 Pin a message saying real admins never message first and never ask for passwords.
• Publish the rules and the warning system in advance, and arguments drop.
• Turn on the captcha and test it with a second account.
• Read the action log weekly: what was removed and why.

If the chat is already under attack, turn on the captcha and join approval first, then clean up. The other order fails because new accounts arrive faster than you delete old ones.

Keep a quick way to restore anything removed by mistake. A harsh filter that eats normal messages annoys people more than any spam.

Two years ago every second friend in your feed was inviting you to "tap a coin before it is too late". Today half of those invites sit in an archive.

A few games still open tens of thousands of times a month. Here are five tap games from our catalog and an honest look at what is left of them.

How the tap game bubble popped

In 2024 the format exploded: tap the screen, collect points, invite friends, wait for a token drop. Sign-ups hit the hundreds of millions. Hamster Kombat's token launched on TON in September 2024, Catizen's CATI that month. People expected big money and got small change.

Roundups describe a sharp drop in interest. One estimate has Hamster Kombat's audience falling from about three hundred million to thirteen. Treat that carefully: online lists chase traffic and copy each other. The conclusion matches everywhere: pure tapping has run its course.

• 📉 Tokens: rewards disappointed, and prices of tokens from similar projects have mostly sagged since.
• 🎮 Depth: beyond the button, the games have little in them.
• 🤖 Farming: multi-accounts and auto-clickers devalued honest players' effort.

💡 In 2026 a tap game works as a five-minute pastime, not a side income. Treat it that way and the risk stays small.

Games got more careful with promises. "Airdrop" used to be the headline, and now descriptions talk about gameplay and mention a token with caveats. Check the wording inside the bot and the project's official channel, not in retellings from chats and short videos.

Five games from the catalog

Boinkers: slots and a memecoin parody

A chaos game that mocks the memecoin race while inviting you to join it. It is free and opens as a mini app via /start.

• 🎰 How it plays: slots and spins, with rewards depending on what lands. Friends speed up collecting, and points are tied to a future drop of the $BOINK token.
• 👤 Fits you if you like thrill with humor. Set a limit, say ten minutes a day.
• ⚠️ Downside: the slot mechanic hooks, so do not put in money expecting a return. Payment questions go to /paysupport.
• 🔒 Auto-clickers break the rules and need access to your Telegram session. That is a quick way to lose the account.

Catizen: cats that merge into bigger cats

A cat game from Pluto Studio on the TON blockchain. You merge two identical pets into a higher level cat, and it earns more in-game currency.

• 🐱 Inside:
  • two currencies: vKITTY and the premium FishCoins
  • quests, invites and clubs
• 📌 Token story: CATI came out in September 2024, reviewers report that many players found the rewards underwhelming, and interest dipped after launch.
• 🎯 Why open it: merging is a pleasant way to fill a couple of minutes in a queue. Do not come for income, and lower expectations at once.
• 🔒 Wallet: connect one you use deliberately and never share the seed phrase.

Yescoin: a swipe instead of a tap

Coins fall onto the screen and you collect them with a swipe, like in fruit slicing games. Two visits a day are enough.

• 🛠️ Setup: energy upgrades, quests, friends and a robot called YesPac that collects coins while you are away.
• ✅ Honesty: the bot description says plainly that the YES token is not released yet. In-game coins are points, not cryptocurrency, and there is no confirmed listing date.
• ⚠️ Traps: articles with "listing predictions" are often old texts with a refreshed date, and links saying "claim YES right now" lead to phishing.
• 👤 Works as a light casual game and fails as an earnings plan.

Tomarket: a farm whose airdrop is over

A tomato farm, a mini game with falling tomatoes, a daily box and a tree you can "dig" for stars every six hours. These stars are internal points, not Telegram Stars, which are bought with real money.

• ⏱️ Airdrop timeline:
  • 31 October 2024: balance snapshot
  • 20 December 2024: TOMA trading began
  • 3 January 2025: token claims closed
• ⚠️ Scams: it is too late for a free token, and messages about an "early claim" are fraud.
• 💸 Paid parts: medals and boosts for TON or Stars do not guarantee income.
• 🎯 What remains: daily visits and leaderboards. Use a separate wallet without your main savings.

Hamster Kombat: GameDev, the hamster opens a studio

The famous hamster changed careers: now you run a studio that releases games. Taps, upgrade cards, daily combos, ciphers and passive income that builds for hours. By audience it is the liveliest of the five, with over three hundred thousand monthly users.

• 🎁 Free: you can play without spending, only slower.
• 💸 Paid part: gold bars, a premium currency bought with Telegram Stars, which means real money. Set a monthly cap, because small purchases in clickers add up.
• 🔒 Fakes: a popular game attracts many, so launch it only from the official bot with the verification badge.
• 📌 Verdict: the earlier HMSTR drop disappointed many, so treat GameDev as a slow economy simulator. Of the five, it is arguably the most honest in how it presents itself.

The five games side by side

Game	Mechanic	Token	Keep in mind
Boinkers	Slots and spins	$BOINK, drop planned	Thrill of chance, do not put in money
Catizen	Merging cats	CATI, out in September 2024	Many found rewards underwhelming
Yescoin	Swiping coins	YES, not released	Phishing around the listing
Tomarket	Farm and daily visits	TOMA, claims closed	Early claim messages are scams
Hamster Kombat: GameDev	Studio simulator	HMSTR, earlier drop disappointed	Gold bars cost Stars

Telling a game from a wasted evening

1. 🎮 Is there a game at all. If the whole process is one button, interest vanishes within a week.
2. 🪙 What is said about the token. Honest projects state whether it exists, as Yescoin does. A vague "listing soon" with no date is a warning.
3. 💸 What participation costs. Free entry is normal, while paid boosters and medals do not reliably pay off.
4. 🔒 Who asks for data. A game never needs your seed phrase, and support never messages first.
5. 🔗 Where the link came from. Check the official bot's username, since fakes differ by one letter.

Safety in five rules

• Connect a separate wallet with a minimal balance.
• Skip auto-clickers and scripts: they break the rules and take over your account access.
• Never buy game currency from strangers in chats.
• Pay only inside Telegram and use the payment support of the bot itself.
• Set a timer for play time and a monthly spending cap.

⚠️ Slots, prize boxes and "luck" mechanics affect the mind more than they seem to. If you feel the pull to put in money to "win it back", close the app.

Treated as five-minute mobile games, Catizen and GameDev offer a bit more gameplay, Yescoin fits into a day most easily, and Boinkers runs on humor. None of the five promises income: the only thing you put in is time.

A colleague sends a six minute voice message while you sit in a meeting without headphones. Or you need a clip for a story and have nothing to film. Telegram has AI bots for each of these jobs, and each is good at one thing.

Here are six of them, sorted by task: images, video, voice generation, voice transcription and general chat. No single winner exists, so pick by scenario.

What shifted in the past year

• 🎬 Video with sound. Models like Veo 3 produce a clip with footsteps, wind, music and spoken lines in one file. Clips run about eight seconds, enough for an ad insert or a meme, not for a film.
  • Describe the scene in detail: who is in frame, where, what happens, what we hear.
• 🎙️ Transcription inside Telegram. Telegram Premium includes voice message transcription and short summaries. If you already pay for it, a separate bot only earns its place with long recordings, file export or translation.
• 🔁 Reseller bots. Many sell access to other companies' models behind their own checkout and limits. Prices drift, and quality depends on which model the owner plugged in this month.

💡 Compare bots on the same material: one photo, one phrase to voice, one voice message from a work chat. Ten minutes is enough to cross out the wrong ones.

Six bots for six jobs

Bot	Job	Payment
PROTOGEN	images, photo animation	internal energy, free starter amount
VEO3 Video Generation	clips with sound	balance counted in videos
Musebox AI	short text to video	credits or subscription, free tries
Silero TTS	text to speech	free with limits, subscription removes them
Voicy	voice to text	first minute free, then Voicy Pro
FLik AI Bot	chat, images, video, audio	subscription in the bot's shop

PROTOGEN: images and photo animation

One menu for art from a description, photo animation, simple video editing and trending effects. It has over 700 thousand active users a month, so expect a queue at peak hours.

• ✅ Does: draws from text and animates photos
  • each action costs energy, and video costs more than a picture
  • newcomers get a starter amount, enough for a few tries
• 👤 Fits: greeting cards, gifts and blog covers
• ⚠️ Downside: fingers, signs and small details sometimes come out wrong, and you cannot control every pixel
• 🔒 Data: the bot asks you to accept its terms and personal data policy first. Upload only your own pictures, never documents

VEO3 Video Generation: clips with sound

This bot connects to Veo 3 and turns a description into a short clip with audio. The interface is in Russian and runs from a menu. The balance is counted in videos: one generation spends one.

• 🎯 Best results: name the characters, place, action, camera move and sound
  • keep spoken lines short and in quotes
• 🛠️ Maker: an independent developer, not the model's creator. The audience is modest, about 19 thousand a month, and support goes through the profile contact
• 💸 Caution: buy the smallest pack and make one test clip first

Musebox AI: video as a mini app

Another text to video generator, packaged as a mini app. You can try it free, then it runs on credits or a subscription, possibly paid in Telegram Stars. Current prices show inside the app.

• 🎁 Free attempts: spend them on testing wording
  • the description says little about the model or clip length
  • build a complex story from several short clips
• 📌 For ads: read the terms of use before publishing

Silero TTS: a voice for any text

The bot comes from a team that builds its own speech synthesis models. It has more than 2,500 voices in Russian and English.

• ✅ Settings: voice, HD quality, pace and tone through commands
  • the answer can arrive as a file
  • it can revoice your own voice messages and video circles
• 👤 Used by: video authors, channel admins, people training their English ear
• ⏱️ Limits: the free mode caps the number and length of clips, a subscription lifts the caps
• ⚠️ Ethics: do not pass a synthetic voice off as a real person

Voicy: voice messages and circles to text

The most down to earth bot here. Forward a voice message, audio file, video or circle and text comes back.

• ✅ Does: recordings up to eight hours, a short summary, translation
  • export to Word, PDF, TXT and Markdown
  • turns an ordinary video into a circle and sends voice memes from the input line
• 💸 Price: the first minute is free, then Voicy Pro
• 🔒 Privacy: source files are deleted within a day, text is kept up to thirty days. Keep passwords, card numbers and medical details out

FLik AI Bot: everything in one chat

GPT dialogue, images through Midjourney and DALL·E, video through Kling, Luma and Hailuo, face swap and audio tools. The subscription lives in the bot's shop, with promo codes and a referral program.

• ✅ Plus: no hunting for a separate service per task
• ⚠️ Minus: you depend on one intermediary, its prices and its limits
  • the audience is far smaller than the leaders here and we found no independent reviews
  • start with the free start and small payments
• 🔒 Faces: swap faces only in your own photos or with the consent of the people shown

Keeping your money and data safe

1. Name the task first: transcription, voice, images and video need different models.
2. Spend starter energy, the free minute and trial attempts on your own material.
3. Buy the smallest pack. Balances in energy, clips or credits are hard to refund, so skip months of prepayment.
4. Read what the bot says about data: an uploaded photo or audio file lands on someone else's server.
5. If you publish a generated clip or voice, tell your readers.

⚠️ Animating or swapping a face without consent violates that person's rights and may be illegal. A chatbot sounds convincing even when wrong, so check figures and dates against a primary source.

Voicy for voice messages, Silero for narrating posts, PROTOGEN for pictures, the Veo 3 bot for video with sound. Keep Musebox for experiments and FLik AI Bot for comparing models. Pay only for what survived the free tests.

Telegram loads every other time and video crawls. Any bot with VPN in its name then looks like a rescue: tap, pay, connect. Behind it sit someone else's server, someone else's terms and your money, which is not always refunded.

Below are three services that solve different problems: two VPN bots and one proxy seller.

What a VPN bot really sells

The bot does not create a VPN. It is a storefront and a till: you choose a plan and pay, and the bot creates an account on a server and sends a key or a subscription link.

1. 🛠️ Install a client app.
2. 📌 Paste the link from the bot.
3. 🔒 Switch the connection on.

Traffic goes through the operator's server, not through Telegram. So the line "they cannot block us, we run inside Telegram" is advertising: the bot may become unreachable while the tunnel keeps working.

Blocks and protocols: what is known

• ⚠️ Restrictions: analysts report that limits on Telegram in Russia grew, and regulators disrupt specific protocols on operator equipment
  • VLESS with traffic masking and WireGuard are considered workable by user communities
  • results depend on region and provider
• 🏦 Banks and marketplaces: some Russian services began limiting access for people connected through a VPN
• 🎯 For your choice: no perfect solution exists, workarounds get closed and reopened. Pick a service where you can change the server or protocol

VPN or proxy

	VPN	Proxy
What it covers	all device traffic	one program only
How you enable it	one button	in browser, anti detect tool or script settings
Who needs it	an ordinary phone user	people who need a separate address per account

💡 Test a service in one evening. Open a site that would not load and send yourself a heavy video in Telegram. Repeat at peak hour. Then message support and time the answer: a day of silence before payment promises more trouble after it.

Three services and their jobs

TMG Premium VPN: a VPN without fuss

The most popular service here, with more than 340 thousand users a month. Purchase, management and support run through the bot menu and a built in mini app.

• ✅ Does: quick connect with one button
  • server list and connection status
  • protocol and server choice in settings, and if protocols are unfamiliar, leave the default
• 🎯 The pitch: access to blocked sites and fast media loading in Telegram. "Fastest VPN" is the developer's word, so test it yourself
• 👤 Fits: a simple VPN for a phone. On unrestricted home internet the difference is small
• ⚠️ Ask first: a specific city or dedicated address is not promised in the description, so ask support before paying

TorVPN: a trial and whitelist workarounds

The bot issues the subscription, and the service promises to get around whitelists on mobile internet. That is harsher than an ordinary block: everything is closed except what is allowed.

• 🎁 Main plus: a free trial
  • check speed on your own operator
  • see how fast support replies
• 🛠️ Connecting: after the start command the bot sends a subscription link, and you need a client app that accepts such links. If a server goes quiet, refresh the subscription or pick another
• ⚠️ Fair warning: such schemes are unstable, and when a method is shut down the connection drops for a while
• 💸 Money: "cheapest around" means nothing without a test, and prepaying for years with a small bot is risky

BulletProof Proxy: this is not a VPN

The bot sells proxies. You configure them in a browser, an anti detect tool or a script, and the IP changes for that one program only.

• ✅ Range: static addresses from data centers and from internet providers
  • rotating data center, residential, mobile and premium ones
  • the closer an address looks to a home connection, the more it costs and the less suspicion it raises
• 👤 Fits: scraping, checking ads in another region, or running several accounts with a separate IP each. Not for opening a blocked site on a phone
• ⚠️ Downside: "bulletproof" in a name often hints at a soft attitude to abuse complaints. Addresses may land on blacklists, and refunds depend on the seller's goodwill
• 📌 Rules: start with the smallest pack and read the terms through the terms command

Before you pay

Any VPN moves trust from your telecom operator to the server owner, who can see which addresses you visit. A "no logs" promise is backed by reputation, not by a line on the storefront.

1. Take a trial or the shortest term: a month shows whether speed holds at your peak hour.
2. Read the offer. It says how refunds work and what happens in an outage.
3. Watch the payment method: a transfer to a private card without a receipt, or payment through a third party, raises the odds of losing money with no refund.
4. Skip free configs from random channels, because your traffic may end up on a stranger's server.
5. Keep a backup, a second protocol or a second service.

Risks the Buy button skips

• 🔒 Privacy: a panel administrator can usually see user activity and subscription dates. A VPN does not make you anonymous
• 🏦 Banks and state services: open banking apps without a VPN if the bank allows it
• ⚖️ Law: rules on VPN use and advertising differ by country and keep changing, Russia included
• 💸 Crypto: a cryptocurrency payment cannot be reversed, so check the amount and address twice
