What ONLYOFFICE does
Most document bots in Telegram do one thing: turn a file into a PDF or pull text out of a scan. The ONLYOFFICE bot goes further and puts a real office editor inside the messenger. It comes from Ascensio System SIA, the company behind the ONLYOFFICE suite, and the product page on onlyoffice.com links straight to it.
You can start a new text document, spreadsheet or presentation, open a DOCX, XLSX or PPTX file someone sent you, make changes and convert it to another format without leaving the chat. The most useful part for small teams is collaboration: the bot creates a co-editing link, everyone who opens it works on the same file, and changes sync for all participants. The link lives for 24 hours, so this is a tool for quick joint edits of a contract draft, price list or slide deck, not a long-term document store.
The bot is free, and its source code is published on GitHub, which makes it easier to check what happens to your files or to run a similar setup yourself. The weak spots are modest: the interface is confirmed only in English, and a 24-hour link means you need to download the final version and keep it somewhere permanent.
