Python Telegram Bot
I realized I was doing the same checks manually every morning—API status, deployment logs, uptime reports. The actual thinking took 15 minutes. The ritual took an hour.
Why I Built This
I don’t like rituals that don’t serve thinking. Every morning I’d open the same tabs, run the same commands, wait for the same responses—before I could even start working on what mattered. The pattern was obvious: these checks could happen without me. I just needed the results.
Built this bot to eliminate the ritual, not the thinking. Now I wake up to a Telegram message with everything I need to know. If something’s wrong, I see it immediately. If everything’s fine, I skip the ceremony entirely.
Tech Stack
- Python — Core bot logic with async/await for non-blocking operations
- python-telegram-bot — Clean API wrapper that handles the Telegram protocol
What It Does
- Runs scheduled checks on my infrastructure
- Surfaces problems before I go looking for them
- Answers queries I used to open dashboards for
- Stays out of my way when everything’s working
The interface is Telegram because that’s where I already am. The real product isn’t the bot—it’s the hour I get back every morning.
