What is Telm?
Telm is a Telegram moderation bot and anti-spam system that automates message filtering and community management. It screens every message with blocklists, rule sets and layered AI, and begins in monitoring mode so decisions can be reviewed before enforcement.
It analyzes text, images, voice notes and QR codes (including OCR and image-hash checks) and escalates borderline cases to a language model. Telm uses federated threat signals and supports custom training from uploaded chat history to reduce false positives.
Built-in appeal handling records moderation actions and allows automated review and reversals. Additional capabilities include scheduled posting with AI rewrites from RSS feeds, DM broadcasts, welcome flows, automated FAQ replies, leaderboards and analytics.
Dashboard, bot messages and appeal notices are available in 25+ languages and one account can manage multiple groups.
