# Telegram Sticker Bot

The Sogni Sticker Bot turns a chat prompt into shareable stickers. Type `!generate <prompt>` in Telegram or Discord and the bot generates the images on the Sogni Supernet, removes the background, and returns sticker-ready files. Use the official bot or self-host your own from the open-source repo.

## [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/more-superapps/telegram-sticker-bot/#what-it-does)What it does

-   **`!generate <prompt>`** in any chat the bot can read — returns a small set of stickers based on your text.
-   **`!repeat`** generates more variations on your previous prompt.
-   **Automatic background removal** so the output is already sticker-shaped — no manual cleanup.
-   **Cross-platform.** The same code runs as a Telegram bot, a Discord bot, or both at once depending on which tokens are set.
-   **Admin moderation.** Slash commands (`/addwhitelist`, `/addblacklist`, `/listwhitelist`, `/clearblacklist`) let group admins control which words are allowed.

## [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/more-superapps/telegram-sticker-bot/#use-the-official-bot)Use the official bot

-   **Telegram:** [@SogniAIbot](https://t.me/SogniAIbot) — start a DM or invite it into a group.
-   **Discord:** join the official [Sogni Community server](https://discord.sogni.ai/) where the bot already runs.

Group admins can invite the official bot to their own community and configure whitelists/blacklists without hosting anything.

The bot is published on npm as `@sogni-ai/sogni-sticker-bot` and runs both platforms from one process.

```
git clone https://github.com/Sogni-AI/sogni-sticker-bot.git
cd sogni-sticker-bot
npm install
```

Create a `.env`:

```
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=xxx          # from @BotFather
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=yyy           # from Discord Developer Portal
SOGNI_USERNAME=mySogniUsername
SOGNI_PASSWORD=mySogniPassword
APP_ID=stickerbot
SOGNI_BOT_DATA_DIR=./data
```

Run it:

```
npm start
# or under PM2
pm2 start ecosystem.config.js
```

Sign up for a free Sogni account at [app.sogni.ai](https://app.sogni.ai/) — Telegram and Discord tokens come from [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) and the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) respectively. Leave one token unset to run a single-platform bot.

**Quick reaction stickers.** Drop a one-liner like `!generate a smiling kangaroo wearing sunglasses saying "GDAY MATE"` and use the result in the same conversation.

**Custom sticker pack.** Generate several stickers across a theme, save the `.webp` files, and build a Telegram sticker pack with @Stickers — see the Telegram sticker pack docs for the upload step.

**Community-moderated bot.** Set a whitelist on a public group (`/addwhitelist cat,dog,sloth`) so only certain prompts trigger generations, and a blacklist to block spammy or unsafe terms.

## [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/more-superapps/telegram-sticker-bot/#tips-for-getting-started)Tips for getting started

-   **Save the result with the `.webp` extension.** Telegram's sticker pack uploader rejects `.file` — rename the download before adding it to a pack.
-   **Short, vivid prompts.** Stickers are tiny; the bot does best on a single subject with strong silhouette.
-   **`!repeat` is your friend.** Generation is non-deterministic; the cheapest way to get a better take is to repeat the same prompt.
-   **Run both platforms with one process.** The same install handles Telegram and Discord — only the platform with a token configured connects.
