This is the Greenbird Demo bot. I created it for our internal meetup.

Greenbird Sample Telegram bot

This bot was created for Greenbird's internal meetup. It is distributed under MIT license.

How to run it?

The bot is TelegramLongPolling bot. In practice, it means that you will need to deploy it on the server. The solution doesn't suite serverless architecture as it is. Also, it means that Application.kt has an infinite loop keeping it up and running.

As this bot is command line Kotlin app, you will need to pass token as a parameter. Apart, of this there are no other requirements.
