Two of us built Meerlume. It takes a paragraph describing how your business works - services, hours, prices, booking rules - and generates a conversation flow you can edit and publish to WhatsApp or Telegram.

The design choice we made differently from most tools in this space: the model runs while you build, not while a customer is talking. Your description gets compiled into a flow graph once, and the published bot walks that graph with no inference per message. It can't invent a price or a policy the owner never set, and a conversation costs us essentially nothing to run.

Trade-off is real: the bot won't handle questions the owner didn't account for. It routes those instead of improvising. Good for bookings and orders, wrong for open-ended support.

Currently Telegram and WhatsApp only. Web widget isn't built yet.

I’m building Meerlume - you describe your business, and it creates a chatbot you can deploy to Telegram or WhatsApp.

Unlike most chatbot tools, it’s not a config-heavy drag-and-drop builder with lots of manual setup. AI is used only to create and edit the bot setup. Once deployed, the bot runs deterministically, which makes it more reliable and low-cost.

Telegram deployment is already automated and takes less than a minute. WhatsApp deployment is manual for now, but we’re working on automating that too.

It also supports human handoff, so you can jump into the chat anytime, and booking bots can check available slots and fill your calendar automatically.

The preview is free, no sign-in required, and you can create a bot and make up to 3 edits.

Would love feedback - does this sound useful, and what features would matter most for your business?
