Telegram is Preparing to Launch a Store for Bots and Mini Apps
Pavel Durov recently shared plans to develop a platform for bot and mini-app developers.
According to Durov, the recently introduced payment system "Stars" is not only beneficial for developers but also complies with Apple and Google rules. Therefore, Telegram plans to recommend bots and mini-apps that accept star payments in appropriate sections of the apps.
As an example of such recommendations, the founder of Telegram mentioned the "AI" section in the upcoming mini-app store. This section could be displayed to business representatives who add bots for handling customer feedback, as well as bots that assist users with the official sticker editor.
