telegram_media_downloader
Bulk-downloads video and files out of Telegram chats and channels, driven from a bot command or a small web page that shows progress. Chinese and English docs.
Runs on Telegram
Every listing whose runtime names Telegram. Derived from the records on this site, not curated.
telegram-bot
A Ruby gem for Telegram bots that fits into Rails: handlers become controllers, with webhook mode in production and a poller in development. A gem, not a bot.
telegraf
A Node.js framework for Telegram bots, built around middleware the way Express is. It is a framework, not a bot.
telebot
A minimal Telegram bot starter in Python, packaged to deploy on Google App Engine. A template to copy, not a finished bot.
tdl
A command-line Telegram toolkit in Go — bulk download and upload, chat export, account migration — driving a user account through the MTProto API rather than the bot API.
pyTelegramBotAPI
A Python library for writing Telegram bots: you decorate functions as handlers for messages, callback queries, inline queries and payment events, and it runs the polling or webhook loop for you. Its README offers both a synchronous and an asyncio client and carries a badge reading Bot API 10.3, which we read on 2026-09-13. A library, not a bot.
project-golem
An always-on agent that works at the level of the whole machine: long-term memory, a scheduler, several cooperating agents, and Discord and Telegram as its front doors. Documentation is largely in Chinese.
programmer-lyf-bot
Posts a daily digest of tech news and memes into Telegram, Discord and Matrix rooms, scheduled by GitHub Actions rather than a server you keep running.
parse_hub_bot
A Telegram bot that takes a link from dozens of video and social sites and sends back the media, with AI summary and transcription options. Chinese-language interface and docs.
nonebot2
An asynchronous Python framework for chat bots that speaks QQ, Telegram, Feishu, DingTalk and more through pluggable adapters. Most of its documentation is in Chinese. It is a framework, not a bot.
nestjs-telegraf
A NestJS module that wires Telegraf into a Nest application so Telegram handlers become ordinary Nest providers. It is a module you build a bot with, not a bot.
mirzabot
A Telegram bot in PHP for selling VPN subscriptions: it takes the payment, issues the config, and manages the account against Marzban, Hiddify, x-ui and similar panels.
greed
A Telegram shop bot with payments and several languages. Its author describes it as a school project kept online to show, not a maintained product.
dsh-im
Puts a DeepSeek Harness agent behind your chat accounts: a message arriving in Feishu, WeChat, DingTalk, QQ, Slack, Telegram, Discord or WhatsApp is handed to the agent you are already running, and the reply comes back in the same thread. It connects an agent you supply; it is not the agent.
dorabot
A macOS desktop app that runs a long-lived AI agent with its own IDE workspace and connects it to WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack.
alerter
Forwards Prometheus Alertmanager alerts into Telegram and Matrix rooms.
aiogram
A Python framework for writing Telegram bots on asyncio. It is a toolkit you build against, not a bot you can run.
YYeTsBot
A Telegram bot and website that searches a large archive of Chinese-subtitled TV and film links. What it indexes is other people's uploads.
Userge
A Telegram userbot: a plugin-driven automation of your own account rather than a bot account, so everything it does is done as you, in your own chats.
TrendRadar
Watches trending topics across many Chinese platforms plus your RSS feeds, filters them with an LLM, and pushes a briefing to WeChat, Feishu, DingTalk, Telegram or email. Chinese-language interface.
Telegram_Forwarder
Copies messages out of one Telegram chat and into another automatically, so a channel you follow lands in a group you keep.
TelegramGroup
A directory of Telegram groups, channels, search bots and tools, kept as a Chinese-language README. It is a list of links, not a bot you run.
TelegramGroup
A very large Chinese-language directory of Telegram groups, channels and bots. It is a list of links, not software; its own README bars mainland-China users.
TelegramBots
A Java library for writing Telegram bots: you write the handlers, it carries the transport. Its repository ships a long-polling module and a webhook module with a Spring Boot starter for each, which we read from its module layout on 2026-09-13; its README recommends long polling over webhooks. A library, not a bot.
Tater
A local-first home assistant: runs models on your own hardware through llama.cpp, Transformers or MLX, listens on voice satellites, and answers from Discord, Matrix, IRC, Telegram, HomeKit and Home Assistant.
Openaibot
A chat bot that puts GPT-class models behind Telegram, Discord, Slack and Kook accounts, with tool calls and a plugin system. Its README says “This project is not abandoned, just no new features are planned”, which we read on 2026-09-13.
LangBot
A self-hosted platform for putting an LLM behind a chat account on many networks at once — Discord, Slack, Telegram, LINE, QQ, Feishu, DingTalk, WeChat, Matrix — with plugins and a knowledge base. Most of its documentation is in Chinese.
