I really like Telegram's bot API. https://core.telegram.org/bots/api

Helps me automate stuff around my life with a few small apps that connect to Telegram message threads. Summaries from other APIs, smart home functionality, family errands and shopping list reminders with my spouse and more.

Made Hacker News Alerts bot - https://github.com/lawxls/HackerNews-Alerts-Bot. Basically using it as a personal feed of stories and for keywords monitoring (Like "telegram" for example :) )

This sounds interesting. What does it look like in reality? For example, the errands and shopping list reminders.

Using the Todoist API, I fetch all the open tasks with a certain tag and post to a group I share with my spouse when requested. Another bot I have is everyday at 8:30am to summarize the completed goals from the previous day.
