## What it is
mautrix-telegram is a Matrix-Telegram bridge written in Go that supports both puppeting (using your own Telegram account) and relaybot bridging. It relays messages between Matrix rooms and Telegram chats, and is typically self-hosted or used via public instances.

## Use cases
- bridge my telegram chats into matrix
- use my telegram account from matrix
- relay a telegram group into a matrix room
- self-host a matrix-telegram bridge
- read and reply to telegram messages inside element
- puppet a telegram account through matrix

## When to choose
- you use Matrix as your primary chat client and want Telegram messages there
- you want puppeting so messages appear from your real Telegram account
- you want a self-hosted bridge with Docker support and active maintenance

## When to avoid
- you need a bridge between Telegram and something other than Matrix
- you want a hosted solution without running your own server and public instances' limitations don't fit
- you need voice/video call bridging, which is not supported

- function: chatbot, chat-interface, self-hosted
- domain: messaging-platforms, self-hosted, developer-tools
