What is Telm?
Telm is a complete platform for running healthy Telegram communities. It watches every message in your group and stops spam, scams, and bots automatically — combining hardcoded rules, the global CAS blocklist, AI classifiers, and image analysis — so your team doesn't have to moderate by hand around the clock.
Unlike a simple anti-spam bot, Telm pairs enforcement with insight: a real-time dashboard with analytics, activity heatmaps, and member leaderboards, plus a no-code rule builder. And every group starts in Monitoring Mode, so you can trust the bot before you ever let it act.
Trust it before you switch it on
Monitoring Mode is what makes Telm safe to roll out in a busy group. The bot runs its full detection pipeline but takes no action — you decide when it's ready.
Joins in observe mode
Add Telm to your group and it starts in Monitoring Mode automatically — nothing is deleted or banned.
Every message is scanned
Each message runs through the full detection pipeline. The verdict is logged, but no action is taken.
You review the calls
In the dashboard you see exactly what would have happened and mark each detection as spam or a false positive.
Flip the switch
Once you trust the accuracy, turn off Monitoring Mode and Telm starts enforcing in real time.
How Telm catches spam
Three detection layers work in sequence, escalating only the messages that need a closer look — backed by the global CAS blocklist.
Rule engine
200+ hardcoded patterns across 30+ languages catch link spam, excessive caps, emoji floods, and crypto or casino scams in under 10ms.
AI classifier
Borderline messages go to an AI model that scores intent — promotional, scam, phishing, or normal — with results cached for instant repeat detection.
Semantic memory
Confirmed spam is embedded into a vector index, so messages that merely look like known spam get caught even when the wording changes.
Key Features
AI Spam Detection
Three-layer detection: hardcoded rules, a fast local classifier, and deep AI checks for uncertain cases. Catches spam other bots miss.
CAS Anti-Spam
