Hi,
Telegram.org recently announced the support for writing bots for their platform, by providing details at https://core.telegram.org/bots.
I was missing for a long time the ability to get a count on karma like we’ve on IRC servers, so I started with it.
My first try is published at github repo in https://github.com/iranzo/stampython.
At the moment it just uses the polling interface to check the new messages received on the channels the bot is in, and later processes them and send the relevant replies via messages.
Also, some other commands are missing like the ones on redken that we use on IRC, but at least, basic functionality is there and is usable.
Enjoy! (and if you do, you can
Buy Me a Coffee
)

BTW: the bot is not allowed to join channels (@stampy_bot) so it remains in a controlled environment until the code is made more robust, but I’m thinking about having a second public instance on Openshift.redhat.com for wider audience.
You can invite the public instance by inviting @redken_bot
