Oskemen Hub | Telegram Bot: from an idea to a working assistant

Telegram Bot: from an idea to a working assistant

How to turn an idea into a Telegram bot that really works and helps solve problems?

At the workshop, we will analyze the path from the idea to the working assistant: how to think through the logic of the bot, set up user interaction and assemble our own solution.

If you've been wanting to try to create a Telegram bot for a long time, but didn't know where to start, it's time to figure it out in practice.

Vibecoding: A practical intensive application development

We invite you to a workshop on creating a full-fledged application through vibe coding. This is an ideal way to show participants that anyone can now turn their idea into a working product, even without deep programming knowledge.
Together with the participants, we will go all the way from the idea to the finished application: we will formulate the concept, create the product structure, use AI to write the code, test it and make the necessary changes.
As a result, each participant will be able to assemble their own working prototype and feel in practice that creating IT products has become much more accessible today.
