# LaPoe: Intelligent Telegram Assistant & Group Bot > LaPoe builds AI Telegram bots that moderate groups, answer from your knowledge base, and chat in your brand's voice. Free to start at https://lapoe.app. ## What is LaPoe? LaPoe is a hosted AI assistant for Telegram communities. You either: 1. Add the shared `@LaPoe_bot` to your Telegram group (free, works instantly), or 2. Connect your own branded bot (paid plans) and give it a persona, knowledge base, and moderation rules. ## Features - **Knowledge base**: paste text or URLs; LaPoe indexes, chunks and retrieves the right snippet to answer. - **Group moderation**: banned words, anti-flood, warns → mutes → kicks → bans, with a configurable AI moderator. - **Slash commands**: /rules, /faq, /report, /warn, /mute, /ban, /addblacklist and more. - **Per-group configuration**: house rules, welcome message, topic, web search on/off, silent notices. - **Web search (paid)**: the bot searches the web only when your knowledge base can't answer, and only within the topic you set. - **Logs & analytics**: every inbound/outbound message and every moderation action is recorded. - **Auto-learn**: the bot builds knowledge from admin/owner messages in the group. ## Plans - **Free**: shared @LaPoe_bot, 1 group, 100 AI messages/month, no custom branding. - **Starter: $18/mo ($16.4/mo yearly)**: 1 custom bot, 2 groups, 1000 messages, image moderation, web search. - **Plus: $89/mo ($81.4/mo yearly)**: 3 bots, 6 groups, 5000 messages, voice moderation, analytics, branding. - **Enterprise**: custom limits, team roles, API access. ## Getting started 1.
