Telegraft

Telegram product studio — Dubai and the GCC

Telegram is the product surface. We build what runs on it.

Bots, Mini Apps and AI assistants that live inside Telegram, for companies in Dubai, the wider UAE and across the Gulf. Every build has a fixed price, a fixed delivery date, and a working demo you use before any money moves.

What this studio builds

Three things, each with a page that tells you when not to buy it

Telegram bots

The working core: something that books, orders, dispatches, qualifies or notifies, wired into the systems you already run. Priced per type, delivered against a written scope.

  • Booking, ordering and delivery tracking
  • Lead qualification into an existing CRM
  • Broadcast and notification dispatch at platform rate limits
  • Document collection, KYC gating and moderation

Telegram Mini Apps

A full interface inside the chat, with signed identity and a payment rail attached. This is where a storefront, a wallet surface or a multi-step flow belongs once a keyboard of buttons stops being enough.

  • Storefronts that check out without leaving Telegram
  • Signed initData validated server-side on every request
  • Telegram Stars, TON and card rails behind one flow
  • Native look in both the light and dark Telegram themes

AI assistants

Retrieval-backed assistants that answer from your own documents and cite what they answered from, inside the chat your customers already use. The premium tier, and the one with the shortest path from documentation nobody reads to something measurable.

  • Answers grounded in your knowledge base, with a reference
  • Refusal when the source does not cover the question
  • Handover to a human in the same thread
  • Arabic, English and Russian from one build

Inside the chat

What your customer actually does

No app to install, no password to reset, no form that loses its state on a bad connection. The customer stays in a chat they already have open, the booking lands in the calendar your staff already use, and nobody at the front desk touches it.

  1. Hi — do you have anything Thursday evening?

  2. Thursday 14 March. Three slots left with Dr Haddad. Which one?

  3. 18:15

  4. Booked — 18:15, Thursday 14 March. It is in the practice calendar and you will get a reminder the evening before. Need to move it, just message here.

Illustration of an appointment booking flow, not a recording of a live bot. The mechanics are real: inline keyboard buttons, a callback payload inside Telegram’s 64-byte limit, and a write back to the practice calendar.

Taking money

Every rail your buyer already holds

A bot that cannot take money is a brochure with a keyboard attached. Which rail is right is not a preference — it is decided by what you sell, where the receiving entity is registered, and whether the buyer is holding a wallet or a card. These are the rails we build against, each documented to its real limits and its Gulf availability before you commit to one.

How an engagement runs

Four steps, and you can stop after the third

  1. Five questions, in Telegram

    No form, no discovery call to book two weeks out. The bot asks what you are automating, who uses it, what it has to write back to, and which rail takes the money. Most of it is answered in the chat you are already in.

  2. A written scope and one number

    The answers come back as a scope document listing what is in, what is explicitly out, and what it costs. Out is the part that matters: an unbounded scope is how a fixed price turns into a change request in week three.

  3. A demo you use before paying

    A running bot you open on your own phone, with your own flow in it, before any money moves. It is the only honest way to find out whether what was described is what you wanted.

  4. Launch, then the keys

    Deployment, the webhook, the monitoring and the handover. The source is yours at the end of the engagement, because a studio holding your code hostage is a business model rather than an engineering decision.

Where this is a bad fit

Four reasons to close this tab

  • You want the cheapest possible quote. A freelancer will quote a fifth of this, and for a bot with one command and no payment rail, they are right to.
  • The channel is not settled yet. If the decision between Telegram, WhatsApp and a web app is still open, read the comparisons first — two of them argue against hiring us.
  • You need an iOS or Android app. A Mini App is not a native app, and the cases where that difference matters are real ones.
  • The work is outside the two verticals. Crypto and Web3 teams shipping inside Telegram, and Gulf operators automating booking, ordering, dispatch and support — everything else is turned down, because the second time you build something is when it gets good.

Start where your question is

If you know what you want built, the priced catalogue lists every type with its scope and its delivery window. If you are up against a platform limit, the Bot API reference has the exact numbers and the code. If you are still choosing between approaches, the comparisons set out where each one wins — including the cases where this one loses.
