BotFast

BotFast is a Python boilerplate for building and monetizing an AI-powered Telegram bot. It is aimed at builders who want to launch a bot-based product on Telegram without assembling the underlying infrastructure themselves, and is sold as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. Telegram is an easy way for builders to launch this kind of AI product quickly.

A buyer gets the Python source code to customize and deploy, packaged so it can run on any platform that supports containers. After purchase, the buyer signs in, provides a GitHub username, and receives an invitation to the code repository, after which the bot can be configured from a YAML file without additional coding.

The boilerplate lets a bot be added to Telegram groups with custom AI agents adapted to each community, and it switches between five language models, including GPT-4o, within the same bot. It stores user data and access control in a MongoDB database, accepts text, images and voice notes from users, and gives users access to DALL-E 3 for generating images, designs or logos without leaving Telegram.

BotFast is sold in two one-time-payment tiers rather than a subscription: a Starter tier with 10 predefined AI agents and an All-in tier with 50 predefined AI agents, both including the Python boilerplate, Telegram bot payments integration and lifetime updates. Both tiers let a buyer build and operate as many separate Telegram bots as they want from the same purchase.

Use cases

• Launching an AI assistant or AI therapist-style bot on Telegram
• Letting a Telegram community generate images without leaving the chat
