I build custom Telegram support bots & Python automations for founders.
Free 24h trial.
DM me your biggest support bottleneck.

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

Just spent 47 minutes answering the same 6 support questions. Solo founder tax is real.

I built a Python/AI bot to handle the repetitive DMs so I can actually ship. Running a free 24h trial this week.

Drop a 🙋 if you want to see the demo.

@imteccin @LundukeJournal Hey! Saw your post. I build custom Python/AI tools (scrapers, bots, automation). I can deliver fast. What's your budget and timeline?

The easiest way to lose a customer in Telegram support: making them wait 2 hours for an answer that a bot could give in 2 seconds.

Speed is the feature. Everything else is secondary. #buildinpublic

@Magikaz_Mike This is super common — people skim, forget, or just prefer asking a human. Have you tried pushing the top answers somewhere more visible, or is the volume still winning?

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@demiqueee The same-questions loop is exhausting. Once you hit that daily repetition it starts feeling like a tax on everything else. Are most of them product-related or more logistical?

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@starduke001 This hits hard. The weeks where support + QA eat the feature work are the ones that make you rethink the whole stack. What’s the most repeated issue you’re fielding right now?

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@AniC_dev Totally get this. When support volume crosses a certain point the only sustainable move is ruthless prioritization + better filtering. What % of those tickets end up being the same 5–6 questions?

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@stevebrassard @X This is the exact stage a lot of people hit and underestimate. The ‘answer repetitive questions + surface only what needs me’ layer is the real unlock. What’s the highest-volume question type you’re getting right now?

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@ivan_nomadz @Investqa Had the exact same bottleneck last month with a client. Solved it by routing 80% of tickets to a Telegram bot that only pings the founder on keywords X/Y/Z. Cut his support time by ~3 hrs/day.

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

Just built a Telegram support bot for a solo founder who was answering the same 12 questions every day.

- Auto-replies the FAQ
- Escalates only real issues to him via DM
- Logs everything

Free 24h trial if you’re drowning in support. Reply "bot".

@Thethreatlens Built production AI agent guardrails and tool-calling controls before — happy to share approach

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

The hardest part of selling a Telegram bot isn't building it.

It's getting the first founder to trust you enough to try it.

So I'm changing my approach: I'll do the first 3 setups for free (no strings attached) just to prove it works and get real testimonials.

@Thethreatlens Built agent guardrails and red-teamed prompt/tool abuse before — happy to DM details

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@jian_yangSV Built production RAG + tool-calling agents that handle real user load — GitHub ready if you want to see

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

Most founders overcomplicate Telegram support bots.

Here’s the simple 3-step logic I use:
1. Map the top 10 FAQs.
2. Use Python to match keywords.
3. Only call the LLM if confidence is low.

Simple, fast, and handles 80% of the volume.

@marclou @the_mcnaveen Support load is the silent growth limiter. When someone actually clears the queue it frees up so much mental bandwidth for the next feature instead of firefighting."

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@yongfook Research is the perfect fit. Coding is sequential and fast for a single strong model; multi-step web research with branching has the latency and parallelism that actually benefits from a swarm

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@jackfriks Love the dual-purpose angle — solving a real ops problem for the business while also making the day-to-day more human. The best solo tools usually start exactly like this.

[Tom @tomsupportbot]

@arvidkahl The double standard is wild. Rejecting AI-assisted work while the kernel (and basically every serious project) already does it just shows how fast the cultural lag is catching up to the tooling.

@tdinh_me The interactive ‘run the code + ask questions on the spot’ part is the unlock. Passive video is great for intuition but nothing sticks like being able to break the model yourself and see what actually changes.
