Managing a 10k-member Telegram group was a nightmare before this. The spam filter catches 99% of crypto scam bots and the welcome flow reduced "where do I start?" questions by half.

The scheduled messages feature is underrated. I queue up announcements for the whole week on Monday morning. Combined with the auto-reply for FAQs, my group basically runs itself.

Runs entirely on your own infrastructure — no third-party servers see your messages. The moderation ML model is local too. Only downside is initial setup requires some Telegram API knowledge.
