An official bot powered by the ChatGPT-4 neural network will soon surface in the Telegram messenger, according to a report from Network via adurovleaks. The piece suggests that a ChatGPT Bot could arrive as a built in feature within Telegram, signaling a notable shift in how users interact with AI directly inside the app. The claim adds that access to this bot would be restricted to those who subscribe to Telegram Premium, the platform’s paid tier. In one of the circulating screenshots, the bot is framed as a Premium exclusive offering, reinforcing the premium barrier around this upcoming tool.
A second image circulating among testers shows the bot’s address on Telegram’s test server. Although curious users attempted to initiate the bot, they encountered obstacles that prevented GPTBot from launching or running effectively in that environment. The consensus from insiders is that GPTBot will be launched with the next Telegram update, bringing an officially supported GPT powered assistant to the chat experience.
At the moment, Telegram already hosts a considerable number of unofficial bots that offer ChatGPT-3.5 level capabilities. These bots are widely accessible to all users, regardless of subscription status, which raises questions about the potential impact on the user ecosystem and on Telegram’s own official bot strategy. The presence of these unofficial tools has sparked speculation about whether the developers will take steps to curb them in favor of promoting their official GPT powered bot once it becomes available.
Historically, industry outlets, including socialbites.ca, have reported attempts to replicate chat AI experiences within Russia, highlighting a broader trend of third party and in app AI companions popping up across various markets. The upcoming Telegram GPT Bot appears to be part of a wider push to integrate advanced conversational AI directly into popular messaging platforms, potentially changing how users seek information, ask questions, and automate routine tasks within chat threads. adurovleaks.
