Raketa: An AI Chat Companion on Telegram

You want to ask a quick question, rewrite an email or get a handle on a topic, but opening a separate website feels like too much. That is what AI chatbots on Telegram are for.

Raketa, whose avatar is a raccoon, is one of them: you type or send a voice message and the answer comes back in the chat. 🦝

The bot says it runs on a neural network and that it is free to use with no limits. That is the author's claim, and the easiest way to test it is to watch how the bot behaves after a dozen requests.

How to start a conversation

Press /start and write what you need help with. The bot offers two ways: text and a voice message. The second is handy when your hands are busy or you do not want to type a long question.

• /start. Restarts the bot.
• /menu. The main menu.
• /manual. Usage instructions.

If you get lost, start with /manual, which explains what the bot understands. 📖

What you can ask

Neural networks are good at text tasks: explaining a topic in plain words, drafting a plan, suggesting headlines, polishing style, untangling an error in a spreadsheet or code.

They are weaker with exact facts, fresh news and calculations. There the answer must be checked on your own, because a neural network can sound confident and be wrong. ⚠️

How to phrase a request

1. Say who you are and why. I am a student preparing for an economics exam.
2. Name the format. A list, a table, three paragraphs.
3. Give an example. A style sample works better than a description.
4. Follow up. If the answer missed, explain exactly what is wrong.

Privacy and what not to write

Everything you send goes to the bot owner's server and onward to the neural network's server. Do not send passport data, passwords, card numbers or codes from messages.

Do not paste confidential work documents or other people's personal data into the chat. If in doubt, swap names and numbers for placeholders. 🔒

What free means for bots like this

Free bots live on advertising, donations or the sale of paid plans. So the menu may start offering a subscription, and ads may appear in the text.

Decide in advance if you are ready to pay, and never send money through links from private messages. Check payment details inside the bot or in the project channel's pinned message.

Voice requests: when they help

Speech is handy for dictating a long thought: a post idea, a trip plan, a task description. The bot parses the speech and answers the meaning. Speak clearly and without background noise, or words will be recognized wrongly.

After dictating, reread the transcript and fix inaccuracies. It takes seconds and saves repeat requests. 🎙

The bot does not replace a specialist

On health, law and finance, a neural network can hint at what to look up, but it will not diagnose you or draft a reliable contract. Use it as a helper for drafts and ideas, and make decisions with a professional.

For everything else a bot like this speeds up routine nicely. Try it on a simple task and judge for yourself. ✅
