Telegram bot

Open @dgift_bot on Telegram

It's the same bot under two names — @Dhammagift_bot and its short form @Dgift_bot — same functionality, either one works.

It's an inline bot — you don't have to open a chat with it (though you can). The main way to use it: right in the message box of any chat or group, type @dgift_bot followed by a Pali word or a text number — Telegram immediately shows suggestions (words, links to texts) without leaving that chat. There are also dedicated Mini Apps: search, reading and the dictionary.

✨ Welcome to Dhamma Gift Bot!

How to use:
⌨️ Type @dgift_bot or @dhammagift_bot in any chat and start typing a word to search or a sutta reference (e.g. sn12.2)
via @dgift_bot
Mock-up, not a screenshot

The chat above isn't a real screenshot (Telegram can't be embedded as an <iframe>, unlike the other examples in this docs section) — it's a mock-up built from the bot's real text and interface (dgift_bot/main.pyWELCOME_MESSAGES['en'], the inline-result format "✏️ Send: ..." from inline_query()). A real screenshot can replace it at any time.
