About Botable
Botable is an AI-powered Telegram bot builder. You describe a bot in plain language; it writes the code, gives the bot its own database, deploys it, and keeps it running 24/7. It exists because the gap between having a bot idea and having a running bot was almost entirely plumbing.
Why does this exist?
Building a Telegram bot has never been the hard part. Registering it with @BotFather takes thirty seconds and the API is well documented. What stops people is everything after that: writing the handlers, choosing and provisioning a database, configuring a webhook, finding somewhere to host a process that has to stay awake, and then keeping all of it alive. For most bot ideas — a price tracker, a support triage, a quiz for a group — that infrastructure work is an order of magnitude more effort than the idea itself, and it is the reason most bot ideas stay ideas.
Botable removes that layer without removing the ceiling. Because each bot is a real program rather than a flowchart, it can hold state between messages, call any public API, take payments, and grow. What you skip is the plumbing, not the capability.
How does it work under the hood?
Every bot starts from a tested project template rather than from an empty file, and the AI customises it. The result is a grammY application on Node.js, served over Telegram webhooks, with its own isolated SQLite database file. Bots are deployed to managed infrastructure and reloaded in place when they change, so an update does not drop the users or the data a bot has already accumulated.
Starting from a template rather than from scratch is a deliberate choice: it means the foundation of every bot — the error handling, the command routing, the database setup — is the same known-good code, and the AI is adding features on top of it rather than reinventing the basics each time with a different set of mistakes.
What Botable does not do
The useful version of this section is the one with the limits in it.
- It builds Telegram bots, and only Telegram bots
- Not Discord, not WhatsApp, not Slack. Every part of the platform — the runtime, the hosting model, the payments integration, the Mini App support — assumes Telegram. Depth on one platform is the trade being made.
- The AI writes real code, so it can be wrong
- A generated bot is a real program and occasionally a program has a bug. That is why the deployment log, the file explorer, and the chat preview are all in the dashboard: you can see what happened, and describing the problem is how it gets fixed.
- Credits are spent on work, not on uptime
- A credit is consumed when a bot is built or changed. Running a bot costs nothing, so a finished bot keeps serving users indefinitely without further spend. Nothing is metered per message.
- You need a token from Telegram
- Bots are registered with Telegram, not with us, so you create yours through @BotFather and paste the token in. It is stored server-side and never displayed back in the interface.
Who runs Botable?
Botable is built and operated by the Botable team. The fastest way to reach us is Telegram, where support is a chat rather than a ticket queue; email works too. We answer as ourselves, not as a bot — which is worth saying on a site about bots.
- Support on Telegram— questions about your account or a bot that is misbehaving
- Announcements channel— new features and platform notices
- support@botable.io— anything that needs a paper trail: billing, refunds, legal
