Currency Converter (crcvbot)
crcvbot is a minimal inline utility for converting between currencies without switching apps. Its own bio is explicit about the constraint that matters most: "only works in inline mode" — there is no /start conversation to have with it, so you use it by typing @crcvbot followed by an amount and two currency codes directly inside whatever chat you are already in, and Telegram surfaces the converted value as a selectable result.
That inline-only design is a deliberate trade-off: it keeps the bot lightweight and means nothing to configure, but it also means there is no menu, no saved favourite currencies, and no history — every query is a one-off text command. For someone who occasionally needs to check "how much is $50 in euros" while chatting, that is exactly enough; for someone who wants graphs, alerts or a dashboard, it is not the right tool.
The bot is credited in its bio to an individual developer rather than a bank or exchange, so treat the numbers as a fast estimate rather than a transaction-grade quote, and double check with your bank before anything involving real money.
