General information

This program is called Botfather. You can download it from the official website. It is written using the Qt library and is available for both Windows and GNU / Linux. For GNU / Linux distributions, the application is only available as a flatpak package. The official site has a number of scripts and pretty good documentation.

So, install the program and run it. We are greeted by something like the following window:

I have already added two bots. The very first in the list allows you to search for a specified object in the image. The second one is able to enter the botfather.io site under a specific username and password. You can add new bots from the list or create your own. Here is a list of ready-made bots:

This list is called by clicking on “Add a bot”. The program has a built-in browser, but its own code editor is not. You can write code for the bot in any text editor you like. You will have to write in JavaScript. Also in the toolbar you can see the “Android” button. With its help, you can connect your phone or tablet and run bots on mobile devices. Now more about the bots I have already added.
