@gifFree
Bots that add humour to a conversation without leaving it: reaction GIFs found by keyword and sent straight into any Telegram chat, group or channel.
We opened each bot page in Telegram, confirmed that it launches as a working bot and noted its monthly users where the page shows them. Then we checked where it works (inline, in groups, in channels), which interface languages it has, whether it shows ads and whether its content comes from a named source.
Type @gif, a space and a word in the message field of any chat. A grid of animations appears above the keyboard; tap one and it is sent as a looping MP4 that plays right in the conversation. The bot does not need to be added to the chat, so the same trick works in private messages, groups and channels. GIFs you have sent recently are kept in the sticker panel, so the reactions you use most are one tap away next time.
The index behind @gif is English-first. Short English keywords such as "thumbs up", "facepalm" or "coffee" return more animations than long phrases or words in other languages. If a search comes back thin, try a synonym or a single emotion word in English. The bot only searches: to send a GIF of your own, use the normal attachment menu.
Humour bots differ less in what they post than in how they post it. Check two things before adding one to a group. First, does it name its source? A bot that says where its jokes come from is easier to judge, because the freshness and quality of the humour depend on that source, not on the bot. Second, can it work on request? A bot that posts on a schedule tends to get muted within a week, while one that stays silent until someone calls it usually survives in a shared chat. And look for bots that are free and carry no advertising, like @gif.
Type @gif and a word in the message field of any chat: a grid of animations appears, and tapping one sends it. You do not need to add the bot to the chat, and English keywords find the most results.
Yes, if the bot supports groups: an admin, or a member allowed to add people, can add it. For a shared chat, an on-request mode works better than scheduled posts, because the bot stays quiet until someone calls it. No jokes bot is listed on this page yet; @gif needs no adding at all, because it works inline in any group.
Usually from public websites, pages and channels, often without naming the source. A bot that says where its jokes come from is the better pick: how fresh and how funny they are depends on that source, not on the bot.
