Telegram bot development in Tashkent

Let's start with a number: 250,330. That's how many registrations were completed in the bot for “Yoshlar ovozi”, the national youth vocal contest run by the Youth Affairs Agency, from roughly 44,800 users. The bot has run every season since 2022. A participant picks their region, then district, enters their details, and the organisers download a ready-made Excel report. No website at all; everything happens in Telegram, where people already spend their day.

That's why for many tasks a bot works better than a website. Nothing to install, no sign-up, and the message lands right on the phone. The bots we build most often:

• lead and booking bots: clinics, training centres, services, with every request dropping into your group;
• contest and registration bots: multi-step forms, age checks, videos and documents, a region→district→neighbourhood cascade;
• shop bots: catalog, cart, delivery slots, location, payment;
• broadcast bots: announcements to hundreds of groups and thousands of users at once.

Payments inside the bot. For Splash Water, a bottled-water delivery service, we built a bot where customers pay with Click or Payme right in the chat, choose a delivery slot and send their location. The order arrives in the operators' channel with a map. To accept payments, your company signs a merchant agreement with Click and Payme, and the money goes straight to your account.

Bot plus Mini App. Sometimes buttons aren't enough. For Biznesmarafon, a gamified business-education marathon, we added a Mini App with a QR scanner alongside the bot: participants check in at offline events, take quizzes (answer options are shuffled every time), collect points and compete on a leaderboard. The bot has around 6,700 users, and broadcasts run with flood control.

When you don't need a bot. If customers need to read at length, compare options and look at photos, say when choosing a lawyer or a tour, a website works better. A bot is good for short actions: book, order, register, get a notification. Often the right answer is both: a website so people find you on Google, and a bot to take the requests.

About load. Telegram lets a bot send roughly 30 messages per second. A broadcast to 10,000 people takes about 6 minutes, and it has to go through a proper queue or the bot gets temporarily blocked. So our broadcasts run through Celery and Redis, tracking delivery to every chat.

Price and timeline. A lead bot starts at $300 and takes 1–2 weeks. A contest bot with Excel reports starts at $700. A shop bot with Click and Payme starts at $900. A Mini App starts at $1,500. Hosting usually costs $10–20 a month and is in your name.

We write bots on aiogram 3 and admin panels on Django. Describe your bot idea in a couple of sentences to @Azamat_yamin on Telegram and we'll sketch the flow together.
