## What it is
grammY is an open-source framework for building Telegram bots in TypeScript or JavaScript, running on Node.js, Deno, and even browsers. It provides a clean API for handling updates, a rich official plugin ecosystem, and scales from simple echo bots to high-traffic production bots.

## Use cases
- create a telegram bot in typescript
- build a chatbot for telegram
- handle telegram bot commands and messages
- add inline keyboards and inline queries to a bot
- run a telegram bot with long polling or webhooks
- store per-user session state in a telegram bot
- build a scalable telegram bot for high traffic

## When to choose
- you want to build a Telegram bot in TypeScript or JavaScript
- you need first-class TypeScript types and editor autocomplete for the Telegram Bot API
- you want a plugin ecosystem for sessions, keyboards, conversations, and rate limiting
- you need a bot framework that scales from hobby projects to production traffic
- you run on Node.js or Deno

## When to avoid
- you are building bots for platforms other than Telegram
- you need a bot framework in another language like Python or Go
- you want a no-code or low-code bot builder
- your project requires accessing stored chat history, which Telegram does not provide to bots
