Check in, log what you're working on, and see your whole team's day — without leaving the chat your team already lives in.
We talked to 40+ ops leads running distributed teams on Telegram. The pain is always the same three things.
One bot. It introduces itself, asks for the team's work hours, and sets the default schedule.
/start
Tapping the bot opens a native Telegram screen — no install, no account. Everyone's already signed in.
Tap → Check In
Who's in, who's out, who's on break, and what they're working on — in real time.
/summary
Shamsiddin opens Workbot, taps Check In · Office. Start time is logged. The group sees a quiet, collapsible summary.
Three tasks go on today's list: firmware update, volume logic fix, code review. Teammates can see what everyone's focused on.
One tap. Timer pauses. Comes back when they do — no manual math, no "I was off by 20 minutes."
Sees: 7 working, 2 on break, 1 absent (sick). No interruptions, no status-update Slack threads.
Workbot prompts for a short summary. Totals, tasks, and worked hours land on the dashboard. Tomorrow starts with one tap.
Real start/stop timestamps. Breaks pause the clock. End-of-day totals you can trust — no self-reported "about 8 hours."
Fixed hours, shifts, hybrid weeks, night crews. Per-person and per-group overrides. Holidays honored automatically.
A gentle morning DM if someone forgets to check in. Lunch reminders. Check-out at end of shift. All configurable.
GitHub-style monthly heatmap per person. Spot burnout streaks or quiet weeks before they become surprises.
Two check-in modes, one tap each. Ops reports keep them separate for payroll and office-day tracking.
Friday afternoon summary into your admin group: hours worked, late starts, overtime, no-shows. Forwardable, exportable.
Tap a week to see totals, open a day to see tasks. An activity graph shows rhythm across the whole month — who's overworking, who fell off, who's steady.
Segmented view picker that matches the rest of Telegram.
Each day keeps its duties, summary, and mode (Office / Online).
Role-based views, zero configuration.
Live check-ins + a trail of what shipped today.
Office or online mode, mobile-first, works on any phone.
Night, morning, rotating — all supported per-person.
You already have the infrastructure. Workbot uses it.
Free for teams up to 5. $3 / user / month after that. Cancel inside Telegram, no card details stored by us.
