JenkinsBot
JenkinsBot brings the same idea as the CircleCI and GitHub bots in this list to Jenkins, the widely used self-hosted CI/CD server: build results get posted to a Telegram chat instead of staying only in the Jenkins dashboard or an email notification plugin. That matters more for Jenkins than for hosted CI services, since a self-hosted Jenkins instance often lives behind a company VPN that not everyone checks constantly.
Jenkins itself supports many notification plugins, and a Telegram bot is one option among Slack, email and others; the appeal here is keeping build status inside the same chat app a team already uses for day-to-day communication, rather than adding one more tool to check. Setup typically means installing a Telegram-notification plugin in Jenkins and pointing it at this bot's token, similar in spirit to configuring any other Jenkins notifier.
As with the other CI bots in this category, this is a thin delivery layer: build logs, artifacts and configuration stay in Jenkins, and the bot only tells you when to go look.

Do I need a Jenkins plugin to use this bot?
Typically yes — a Telegram-notification plugin on the Jenkins side is what sends events to the bot's token.
