Am I, as a user, supposed to create the bot using Telegram? Or using some other interface?
I clicked "Try it on Telegram" and got connected to some bot.
What's the actual use-case for this? I actually don't know anyone who uses Telegram, let alone apps on Telegram. But I'm also not friends with any crypto people.
It's pretty popular in Eastern Europe and Russia. In Ukraine railroad tickets are sold through a Telegram chat bot.
I think the main reason people prefer making chat bots in Telegram is that it's completely free and unlimited, i.e. you can create any number of chat bots, send any number of messages with attached files of any size. Their API is very easy to use too.

yes, and this point Plutonic supports Telegram bots and apps(in the future planning to add another apps like Discord)
A gallery/workflow example would be great on the landing page.
will be working on that!
The page looks nice and I like the catchphrase, it would be nice to see some samples.
Have you built anything using this yourself?
yep for now it is focused on telegram:
- simple todo/link collection bot with telegram custom keyboard
- markdown from pdf message
- bot that returns top 5 posts on hn
- simple settlement bot
- friend manage to build a bot that after getting a url to recipe generated image about it
- "cookie clicker" app
- basic shop app
Cool, looking forward to seeing a "gallery" of these.

Is the pricing link at the bottom of the page supposed to do something?
The same for the Testimonal-link in the menu. Not working.
yes sorry will update this in future, landing for now supposed to be mostly basic info and redirect to telegram.
regarding pricing: mostly number of messages per month/ number of bots
- free: 10 msg, 2 bots
- starter: 50 msg, 5 bots - 10$/month
- developer: 100 msg, 10 bots - 20$/month
- pro: 250 msg, 20 bots, voice messages - 50$/month
- scale: 500msg, 40bots, voice messages - 100$/month
Messages/month? Is that the amount of messages the bot does in Telegram? Or the amount of messages sent to the LLM when building it?
amount of edit messages in plutonic bot, so yes messages sent to llm
Pushover support would be great, as one of your targets.
thanks for response, can you explain this use case more precisely?
pricing link is busted
yep will fix this, description is accessible in telegram bot and also posted in one of the comments
