What are Bots
A robot or commonly referred to as a bot is a software program that is automated to perform certain repetitive tasks much faster than a human can.
In the financial services industry, bots have always been used to facilitate the way market participants receive information about their finance. Banks and other financial institutions enable their customers to use bots for services such as sending od money, checking account balances, sending of reminders as well as monitoring transactions on accounts.
Additionally, stock exchanges and Forex markets also use bots to keep investors and traders informed on the realtime prices of their investments.
Telegram Bots
Telegram, the cloud-based instant messaging service describes its “Telegram Bots” service as accounts operated by software – not people – and often have AI features. The bots can do anything, from teaching, playing, search, broadcast, reminders, connecting and integrating with other services.
Telegram bots usually look different from human users and their chat and profile screens have a different user interface. The bots can imitate human conversation by responding to certain phrases with programmed responses.
Bitzlato Telegram Bot
Launched in 2013, Bitzlato first began as a developer of Bitcoin mining equipment. In 2016, Bitzlato created a Telegram-based P2P bitcoin exchange bot dubbed @BTC_CHANGE_BOT which allows its users to buy and sell crypto directly from their phones.

How the Bot Works
If you have an account with Bitzlato, you can merge your web account via the telegram bot easily. Once a user selects a bot, they can access the same features that are supported by its web-based platform including the buying or sell cryptocurrencies.
