TOP-10 examples of creative Telegram bots
Introduction: Creative = Benefit + Play
A creative bot is not a "joke," but a tool where the benefit meets the game: the user gets the result in 1-3 steps, and the brand - data, engagement and retention. The main thing is short screens, understandable buttons, respect for privacy and the user's right to "say no."
Format TOP-10

Risks. Long branches, "footcloths" of the text.
Checklist. 700-1200 words per story, 2-3 endings, Step X/6 progress, Replay button.
2) Bot generator of personal "card of the day"
The idea. Morning Digest: Challenges, Weather/Timezone, Personal Interest Tips.
What for. Behavioral habit and DAU.
Flow. Onboarding of interests → the schedule of sending WebApp → with a checklist and checkboxes.
Metrics. DAU/WAU, completion checklist, Ret D7/D30.

9) Team Challenge "10 days"
The idea. Not individual, but team progress: 3-5 people score points together.
What for. Social connections → above participation and completion.

Metrics. Completion D10, DAP, share "reached the whole team."
Risks. Toxicity - moderation and easy replacement of the participant.

Metrics. Number of parses, time to answer, ER, save.
Risks. PII/sensitive data - auto-masking and moderation.
Checklist. Template: "context → steps → result → questions," publishing rules.
UX principles for creative bots
One screen - one action.
Buttons instead of long text; progress "Step X/Y."
Status-first approach.
Personalization by language/time zone/interests.
Quiet hours and frequency limits.
Privacy: do not ask for unnecessary data, PII - only on business and with consent.
Metrics (landmarks, calibrate for niche)
Start→Step1: ≥85%
Short Script Completion: 60-90%
Read 48h (for push tracking): 55-75%
CTR on "next action": 10-25%
Unsubscribe/1000 shipments: <5-12
Shers/UGC: 5-15% (for postcards/quests)
Risks and compliance
Clearly separate information from promo, indicate "2 lines of conditions" for any promotion.
For sensitive topics - the "Responsible" block and help contacts.
Keep the minimum amount of data, show how to delete/change.
Anti-fraud/anti-spam: captcha for new ones, link limits, complaints in 1 tap.
A/B ideas (quick tests)
1. First screen: "picture + caption" vs "blank text."
2. Progress bar vs "1 minute left."
3. 2 forks vs 3 forks in the quest.
4. Timing pusha: 10am vs 6pm locali.
5. CTA: "Start" vs "Do in 60 seconds"
6. Order: status → action vs action → status.
7. Team Challenge: Auto Fit vs Team Selection.

Creative in Telegram is a structured game: a short path to the result, clear benefits and a little magic.
