Question 1

How do I add an AI bot to a Telegram group?

Accepted Answer

Add LaPoe to your Telegram group and promote it to admin, then connect your LaPoe account at lapoe.app. On the free plan you use the shared @LaPoe_bot with no bot token at all. On a paid plan you can connect your own bot created with Telegram's @BotFather. Setup takes a few minutes and needs no code.

Question 2

Can a Telegram bot answer questions from my own knowledge base?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In LaPoe you add knowledge as page URLs, FAQs or pasted text, and the assistant answers members' questions from that content instead of guessing. If it cannot answer, the question goes to an inbox in your dashboard; answering it once turns it into knowledge, so the next person gets an answer automatically.

Question 3

Is there a free AI bot for Telegram groups?

Accepted Answer

LaPoe's free plan covers 1 group and 100 AI replies a month using the shared @LaPoe_bot, with no card required. Paid plans start at $18/month for your own branded bot, 2 groups and 1,000 replies.

Question 4

Can an AI bot moderate a Telegram group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LaPoe combines rule-based filters, anti-spam, anti-flood and banned words, with an optional AI moderator that reads your group's rules and judges messages in context. It warns before escalating, never bans on a single message, and sends borderline cases to admins to decide rather than acting alone.

Question 5

What languages does LaPoe reply in?

Accepted Answer

The assistant replies in whatever language the member wrote in, matching their script and dialect, so a group with mixed languages does not need separate setup.

Question 6

Does the bot reply to every message in the group?

Accepted Answer

No. It replies only when mentioned, replied to, or when a message matches the group's trigger rules. It stays out of ordinary conversation between members, and the AI runs in groups only, never in direct messages.
