minibot

Your personal AI assistant for Telegram — self-hosted, auditable, and intentionally opinionated.

MiniBot is a lightweight personal AI assistant you run on your own infrastructure. It is built for people who want reliable automation and chat assistance without a giant platform footprint: Telegram-first, SQLite-first, async-first.

Project repository: sonic182/minibot.

Why self-host

• Privacy & ownership: transcripts, KV notes, and scheduled prompts live in your instance (SQLite files), not a third-party service.

• Cost & provider control: pick where to route LLM calls and manage API usage independently.

• Runtime control: deploy behind your firewall, restrict outbound access, and run the daemon as an unprivileged user.
