Math bot
A lightweight inline calculator that also remembers variables — set x = 5 once, then reuse x in later expressions across any chat.
Key features
- Basic operators plus exponentiation with ^
- Variables you can set once and reuse in later expressions
- Inline mode for use in any chat
- Simple /start onboarding message
Math bot
Qalcbot covers the same ground as most Telegram calculator bots — the four basic operators plus exponentiation with ^ — but adds one genuinely useful feature that most of them lack: variables. Assign a value once and reuse it in later calculations without retyping it, which is handy for anything involving a fixed constant, a recurring price or a repeated conversion factor.
Like several of the more convenient bots in this category, it works inline: type @qalcbot, a space and your expression in any chat's text field, and the computed answer appears as a tappable preview. A basic /start message introduces the bot when you open it directly, though beyond that there is no extended documentation describing every supported operator or edge case.
It is a small, focused tool rather than a full scientific calculator — no trigonometric or logarithmic functions are confirmed, and there is no visible monthly-user count to gauge how many people actually rely on it. If variables and inline mode are what you are after in a Telegram calculator, it is worth trying; for heavier math, pair it with a more powerful option like calcubot or Wolfram Alpha.
How to start
- Send /start to @qalcbot to see the intro
- In any chat, type @qalcbot followed by your expression
- Assign a variable if you want to reuse a value later
- Tap the preview to send the result

Pros / Cons
- Variable support is a genuine differentiator versus plain expression bots
- Inline mode keeps it out of the way until you need it
- Free with a simple, predictable command set
- No visible usage numbers to gauge popularity
- No documentation beyond the bot's own /start message
- No confirmed trigonometric or logarithmic functions

Can I save a value for later?
Yes, assign it to a variable such as x = 5 and reuse x in later expressions.
Does it work outside of a direct chat with the bot?
Yes, via inline mode — type @qalcbot and a space in any chat.
