Telegram is a messenger with a powerful API that allows you to create the most complex bots. Here you can find an assistant for any purpose: to recommend a movie, write a to-do list for the day, and even chat in English. But the problem is that there is no search for bots in TG, so even the coolest tools often go unnoticed.
My team and I have tested dozens of services and selected the most useful bots in Telegram that make life easier. At the time of this article's publication, they are all functional, and almost all of them are free.
Planners, task managers, control, search
Let's start with secretary bots. These are perhaps the most useful Telegram bots, allowing you to plan everything competently, forget nothing, and increase your efficiency.
Toucan Task Planner
Link: @to_can_bot
A free bot that helps you sort tasks and notes. You forward text, photos, videos, voice messages, links, screenshots, etc., to it, choose a category, and the service will send the note to the right folder. An indispensable tool if you have a lot of stuff in your 'Saved Messages,' want to structure everything and find what you need faster, and the bookmarks within TG are not enough.
These same notes can be turned into tasks: for example, create a 'Content Ideas' folder, throw references in there or write down ideas as text, and when you've made a post, mark the task as completed. This gives you a convenient Telegram planner bot.
You can add it to a chat with colleagues, assign responsible parties, and accept completed work.
There is also a reminder function: you write to the bot 'remind me to buy milk tomorrow at 12 o'clock' and it reminds you with a message.
They recently rolled out a free web version of the bot https://to-can.ru/ in addition to the existing project management system
Channel Catalog
Link: @catalogtlgrm_bot
The 'Channel Catalog' bot, stylized as a mini-app, helps you quickly find interesting and relevant Telegram channels.
Users have access to 50 categories — from humor and movies to politics and finance. Each category contains over a thousand channels, allowing you to find content for every taste.
The catalog features:
convenient search,
a weekly top 10 of the most popular channels,
a rating of publications for the week.
The Channel Catalog is a must-have tool for any marketer who plans to work with Telegram in 2026, launch seeding campaigns, conduct PR campaigns, or search for new platforms to reach their target audience.
RemindMegaBot
Link: @RemindMegaBot
An assistant that reminds you of meetings or important tasks. To set up notifications, you need to select your time zone, tell or write to the bot what to remind you about, and set the time. You can do this in any format: for example, 'call mom in 20 minutes' or 'workout at 18:00 every Wednesday'.
At the set time, RemindMegaBot will send a message. You can mark the task as completed or postpone the deadline to another time.
Skeddy
Link: @SkeddyBot
Another reminder bot. It helps create a to-do list and reminds you of scheduled appointments. In the bot itself, you can set up simple notifications – for example, 'call the office at 10:00' or leave notes without a specific time. There is also a web version where you can set up recurring notifications: for example, 'pay for the internet on the 1st of every month'.
Pomodoro Bot
Link: @pomodoro_timer_bot
A special bot for concentration, it helps you work or study using the Pomodoro Technique. By default, after launching, it starts a sprint of four 25-minute pomodoros with 5-minute breaks. You can customize the number of these 'pomodoros,' the concentration time, and the rest time.
Budget
Link: @budgetmoneybot
A useful tool in TG that will replace all budget control apps. You can add income, expenses, and distribute them by category. It's convenient to track spending by receipts: open the chat, scan the receipt, and the bot adds the amount to your expenses. It can also summarize the entire family's income/expenses if you add it to the family chat. The bot is paid, but inexpensive – it costs 23 rubles/month.
Hosting, storage bots, e-mail
Let's continue our ranking of Telegram bots with less popular but interesting services.
MyTeleCloudBot
Link: @MyTeleCloudBot
Cloud storage synchronized with the bot. Upload any files and then access them at any time and from any device. The storage is unlimited, free, and completely private; all uploaded materials are accessible only from your account.
Keep Here bot
Link: @keephere_bot
Keep Here bot is a convenient photo hosting service based on Telegram. You send an image to the chat, the bot saves it on its server, and provides a short link and HTML code for embedding on a website.
The hosting is free, it doesn't ask you to subscribe to partners, but it immediately warns about responsibility for the published content. You cannot post pornographic or inappropriate materials.
EasyStrongPasswordBot
Link: @EasyStrongPasswordBot
An analogue of password generation services, but inside the messenger. You can choose the password type: simple, complex, or 'Pushkin,' which encrypts lines from Pushkin's works. It also provides a mnemonic – hints to help you remember the password.
For each request, the service provides three password options, all of which are unique and resistant to hacking. The bot is free, but there is an option to support the project with a donation on Ethereum.
TrafficRobot
Link: @TrafficRobot
An anonymous email generator in Telegram. You start the bot, press the 'New Email' button, and get a temporary email address that you can use for registration. Convenient if you need to test a service but don't want to reveal your real email.
Confirmation emails from such addresses arrive in the chat with the bot. In the menu, you can view all created mailboxes, delete unnecessary ones, and generate new ones.
Mini-Gmail
Link: @GmailBot
An unofficial chatbot from Google that allows you to quickly read emails and reply to them directly from Telegram. The interface is in English but is intuitive. To get started, you need to launch the bot and authorize your Gmail account. After that, emails will arrive as instant messages.
On the downside – users from Russia need a VPN for authorization. Afterwards, emails will arrive without it.
A selection for communication and chats
A mini-selection for those who scroll through channels a lot or chat on Telegram and want to make the process more pleasant and interesting.
Smart Channel
Link: @s_channel_bot
An assistant for those who don't have time to read all the channels they subscribe to but want to stay informed. The bot reviews all posts in the selected channels and sends only the most popular ones – those that have gathered the most reactions, reposts, and comments. To set up a subscription, just forward a post from the desired channel to the bot.
Yandex Translate
Link: @YTranslateBot
A tool from Yandex Translate that translates all incoming messages. It supports 12 languages, including Russian, German, Turkish, and Hebrew. To set up the translator, write a message to it in your native language – it will then translate everything you send it into that language.
SaluteSpeech Bot
Link: @smartspeech_sber_bot
The Salyut bot from Sber, which transcribes audio, video, and video messages in Telegram into text messages. Convenient if you don't want to buy a premium subscription but don't like being distracted by voice messages. To have the bot transcribe a voice message, just forward it to the chat and wait a couple of seconds. You can add the bot to a group – it will transcribe all sent videos and voice messages into text.
Alyosha Bot
Link: @aleksobot
Like Salyut, but the other way around: it converts text to voice. You type a message, and in return, you get a ready-made audio file. By default, the bot reads messages in a robot voice; with a premium subscription, you can choose the voices of characters from movies and TV series. A neural network will voice them.
On the plus side, the voice assistant can read emojis; on the minus side, to use it for free, you have to subscribe to two partner channels.
Andy English Bot
Link: @AndyRobot
Andy is a robot teacher who is ready to talk to you in English at any time. It helps you learn new words, explains grammar rules, and corrects mistakes. An excellent option if you need help with English practice but are still shy about speaking with foreigners.
General
A little more usefulness: here we've collected the best uncategorized Telegram bots that will help you save time. Here you'll find a post error checker, a screenshot service, and a wallet-exchanger.
Tribute
Link: @Tribute
Tribute is a cool platform for monetizing content on Telegram, verified by the messenger. With its help, you can earn from paid subscriptions, digital and physical goods, and donations. To connect the bot, you need to go through verification and add it as an administrator to your channel. In the settings, specify how much a subscription to the channel will cost, the payment method, and in what currency you want to receive payouts. Additionally, you can set up discounts for subscribers — for example, for the first month and upon cancellation of the subscription.
MeteoBot
Link: @WeathersBot
The official bot from Gismeteo for those who find it inconvenient to check the weather on the internet. Write your city in the chat or send your geolocation, and it will send you the forecast for today, tomorrow, the next 5 days, or any other period. You can set up notifications for a specific time to always receive an up-to-date forecast – for example, every morning before leaving home.
SpellCheckerBot
Link: @spellcheckerbot
A bot for checking texts for spelling errors. You send it a post, article, or long message, it scans it, corrects errors, and returns the updated text. It might miss non-obvious errors, so you shouldn't rely on it too heavily, but it handles typos well.
OCR this
Link: @OCRthis_bot
The chatbot recognizes text information in photos, png, and pdf files, then converts it into text messages or Word files. Just send the image and choose which format to convert to. The bot is free, but you can optionally send a donation to a crypto wallet address.
Imager
Link: @siteshot_bot
Imager is a screenshot tool. You send a link to the desired page in the chat, and after 5-7 seconds, the bot sends a screenshot of the first screen. It's slower than using Joxi or LightShot, but it's great for checking suspicious links. If you suspect a link is broken or a phishing attempt, you can use this bot to evaluate the site's content without opening it directly.
Crypto Wallet
Link: @wallet
A convenient cryptocurrency wallet right in the messenger. With it, you can quickly buy or sell BTC, Toncoin, USDT through a P2P exchange and send money to other people directly in the chat without commission. When launched, the bot creates a new wallet for you through the Wallet app, where your money will be stored.
Bonus: 5 search engines in TG for different purposes
1. @SearcheeBot – finds Telegram channels by topic or name, with a breakdown by categories for convenience;
2. @MotherSearchBot – a Google analogue, but in Telegram: it searches for posts, channels, groups, chats, and any information based on your query;
3. @rss4you_bot – collects news from various sources that you configure yourself, including media outlets and VKontakte groups, into a single feed;
4. @tgavia_bot – monitors the lowest prices for airline tickets for selected dates and destinations;
5. @egrul_bot – finds all information about a legal entity by the company name, a super useful bot for checking counterparties.
