The problem it solves

You want to reward people for following your channels, but there's no easy way to confirm someone actually subscribed before handing over a download. Manually checking each follower against your channel list doesn't scale.

Who it fits

A business or creator offering downloadable rewards in exchange for Telegram channel subscriptions.

How it works

  1. A user starts your bot and is asked to subscribe to specific channels
  2. The bot checks their subscription status against each channel
  3. Verified users are logged in a database
  4. Once confirmed, they're granted access to the reward file
What you get

Downloads unlocked only for verified subscribers

You get a fully automated way to reward Telegram subscribers with a download, unlocked only once they've verified their subscription.

What you get

A verified list of subscribers and, when enabled, access to a downloadable file.

What you need

A Telegram bot account, a Postgres database, and optionally a Google Drive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
