Replace paid services with bots

Twelve bots that do the job of a paid app or subscription — AI chat, image generation, background removal, transcription, budgeting, PDF tools and more — for free, inside a chat you already have open.

A subscription is not always necessary. Each bot here covers the same job as a well-known paid app or service, at no cost, without leaving Telegram: gigachat_bot and kandinsky21_bot replace a paid AI chat or image-generation subscription; AI_Background_Remover_Bot does what a paid background-removal tool does, for free; silero_voice_bot's 2,500 voices stand in for a premium text-to-speech service; voicybot transcribes voice messages the way a paid meeting-transcription tool would.

pdf_bot handles the everyday PDF conversions people otherwise reach for Adobe Acrobat to do. TrackMoneeBot logs a budget with nothing to buy first. uptimerobot_bot and link19_bot deliver uptime alerts and shortened links straight to a chat instead of a separate dashboard app. tempmailbot and YTranslateBot round it out with disposable email and unlimited translation. None of these are trial periods — they're the free tier, used as the main product.
