I will build a Telegram AI bot with payments, commands and webhook automations

I will build a production-ready Telegram AI bot with working payments, custom commands, and webhook-driven automations that connect your bot to the tools you already use.

What you get

• A fully functional Telegram bot built on the official Bot API, deployed and responding to real users on day one of launch.
• An AI conversation layer wired to the model provider of your choice (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or an open model via an API gateway), with a system prompt tuned to your use case, persona, and tone.
• Custom slash commands (e.g. /start, /help, /buy, /status, /reset) with clear help text and an inline keyboard / button menu so users never have to guess what to type.
• Payment integration so users can pay inside the chat — either Telegram's native payments (Telegram Stars or a connected provider such as Stripe) or a checkout link flow, depending on what your region and product allow. I'll recommend the right option for your case.
• Webhook automations that fire on bot events: new subscriber, successful payment, a specific command, or an inbound message matching a rule — pushed to your CRM, Google Sheets, Notion, a database, or any HTTP endpoint / Zapier-Make webhook.
• Conversation memory and per-user state so the bot remembers context within a session and recognizes returning users by their Telegram ID.
• Rate limiting and basic abuse protection so a single user (or a spam wave) can't run up your AI bill or crash the bot.
• Admin tooling: a broadcast command to message all users, a simple stats readout (active users, message counts, payments), and a way for you to update key responses without touching code where feasible.
• Secure secret handling — bot token, API keys, and payment credentials kept in environment variables or a secrets store, never hard-coded.
• Clean, commented source code handed over to you in full, plus a written setup and operations guide.
• A short screen-recorded walkthrough showing the bot running, how to redeploy, and how to rotate keys.

How it works

1. Discovery. You send me a short brief: what the bot should do, who uses it, whether you need payments, and which tools it should connect to. We agree on scope and a tier before any work starts.
2. Spec & approval. I send back a one-page plan — command list, AI behavior, payment flow, and automation triggers — so we're aligned on exactly what "done" means.
3. Build. I register or use your existing bot via BotFather, implement the commands and AI layer, wire up the webhook backend, and connect payments and automations.
4. Test. I run the bot end to end on a test chat: every command, a real (test-mode) payment, and each automation firing into its destination. You get a link to try it yourself.
5. Deploy & handover. I deploy to your hosting (or a host I recommend), transfer all code and credentials to you, and walk you through running and maintaining it.
6. Support. During your tier's support window I fix any issues and answer setup questions so you're never left stuck.

Why choose this

I build the whole stack — the bot, the AI, the payment flow, and the automation plumbing — rather than handing you a half-connected demo. The code is yours, fully commented, with no lock-in to a no-code platform that charges per message or holds your bot hostage. I'm honest about what Telegram and payment providers actually allow in your region, and I'll tell you up front if something you want isn't feasible instead of discovering it after you've paid. Every bot ships with secret handling, rate limiting, and an operations guide, because a bot that leaks its API key or burns through your model budget isn't finished — it's a liability.

Who it's for / use cases

• Creators and communities selling paid access, premium content, or memberships directly inside Telegram.
• Small businesses wanting an AI assistant that answers FAQs, qualifies leads, and books or routes them automatically.
• Course and info-product sellers who need a /buy flow plus delivery of access on successful payment.
• SaaS and agencies adding a Telegram support or onboarding channel that logs every conversation to their CRM.
• Operators who want webhook automations — a payment or signup in Telegram instantly updating a sheet, database, or downstream app.
• Hobbyists and indie makers who want a real, owned bot instead of a fragile no-code patch-up.

FAQ

Q: Do I need my own API keys? For the AI provider and payment processor, yes — you'll own those accounts so billing and data stay under your control. I'll guide you through creating them, and I handle all the wiring.

Q: Which payment methods can the bot accept? It depends on your country and product. Options include Telegram Stars, a connected provider like Stripe through Telegram's native payments, or an external checkout link the bot generates. I'll recommend the best fit during discovery.

Q: Where does the bot run after delivery? On hosting you control — a small VPS, a serverless function, or a platform like Railway, Render, or Cloudflare Workers. I deploy it and hand over everything, so there's no dependency on me to keep it online.

Q: Can the bot remember conversations? Yes. On Standard and Premium it keeps per-user context and recognizes returning users by their Telegram ID, backed by persistent storage so memory survives restarts.

Q: What AI models can it use? Any major provider with an API — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or open models via a gateway. I'll help you pick based on cost, quality, and your privacy needs.

Q: Will I get the source code? Always. You receive the complete, commented codebase plus a setup guide, and you're free to modify or extend it however you like.

Q: How long does it take? A Basic bot is typically a few days; Standard and Premium run longer because of payments, automations, and testing. I'll give you a firm timeline after the discovery step.

Q: What if I need changes after delivery? Each tier includes revisions and a support window for fixes. Beyond that, I'm available for ongoing maintenance or new features as a separate engagement.
