telegram just made bots talk to each other – and it changes how you build

bots can now mention each other in groups, reply to each other, or dm one another entirely autonomously. one setting in botfather unlocks it

• what this means for builders. you can now decompose workflows across specialized bots. a coordinator delegates to a reviewer, a billing bot, a support bot – they hand off to each other without a human in the loop. what used to require one overloaded bot can now be a clean pipeline.

• what you can build:
1. autonomous code review chains between bots
2. customer-facing bots that silently orchestrate specialist bots behind the scenes
3. multi-agent llm networks where each bot owns a slice of a complex task

• the catch: loop prevention is on you. bots can spiral into infinite reply chains fast, so rate limits and depth caps are mandatory.

but the bigger picture – telegram just became a viable runtime for multi-agent ai
