Send /menu, /options, or /help in any chat the bot is in.
Who can open it
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| The owner | Matched by Telegram ID, so changing your username never locks you out. |
| Memescale platform admins | Matched by username. |
Group admins who aren't the owner can't open it. Anyone else gets no reply.
It works in any chat the bot is in, authorized or not. See Groups and access for what authorized means.
Command suggestions in unauthorized chats
The slash-command list under the / icon is per chat. In a chat that isn't authorized, the bot shows an empty list. /menu still works there when typed.
The three doors
The card shows the Memescale banner, up to three buttons, then a Manage Groups / Close row.
| Button | Opens | Shown |
|---|---|---|
| Meme Bot Settings | The Meme Bot Settings page | Only when the bot has a generation trigger |
| Buy Bot Settings | The buy bot's settings card, in the same message | Always |
| Extra Bot Features | The Extra Bot Features page | Always |
Beta
The buy bot is currently in beta, served from the dashboard's beta tab.
Buy Bot Settings turns this card into the buy bot's settings card. « Main Menu on that card brings the menu back.
Manage Groups opens the group picker below. Close deletes the card and the /menu message that opened it.
Taps from anyone but the owner or a platform admin get the alert Owner / admins only and change nothing.
The generation gate
Meme Bot Settings appears only when the bot has a generation trigger. Utility bots with no character and no trigger don't get it.
Meme Bot Settings
Two switches, each with an On / Off button pair.
| Switch | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| ✍️ Image Captions | Caption text and the gallery-link button under generated images | Off |
| ⌨️ Require Forward Slash | Generation and edit commands only fire with a leading /, so /generate works and the bare word generate does nothing | Off |
Note
Turn Require Forward Slash on when your trigger word also comes up in normal chat, so an ordinary message never fires a generation. It applies to image edits too.
Extra Bot Features
Four switches, each with an On / Off button pair.
| Switch | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| MP3 Downloader | Download audio from pasted links | On |
| /newpack Emoji Creator | Create emoji packs with /newpack | On |
| Automations | X automations | Off |
| Multi-Chain Scanner | Scan pasted contract addresses | Off |
Beta
X automations are currently in beta.
Each tap answers Updated, or Already on / Already off. Multi-Chain Scanner is saved through memescale.ai; if that fails you get Couldn't reach memescale.ai — try again.
The Manage Groups picker
Manage Groups lists the groups where the bot is an admin and you are a member. Prompt: Which group should I generate and edit images in? Tap to add or remove.
With no such groups yet, the card reads: Promote me to admin in whichever group you'd like me to generate images in, then tap Add Groups.
✅ Titleis authorized,❌ Titleisn't. Tap a row to flip it.- A group the bot has since been removed from or demoted in still shows as
✅, so you can still remove it.
Add Groups
- Tap
Add Groups. - The card reads:
Let's add a group. Make sure I am in the group as an admin first, and then send me either the link to the group, or the group ID which you can get by typing /getid. - Send the group's public link,
@handle, or the numeric id from/getidas your next message. - The bot checks the group and replies.
What you can paste
| You send | Read as |
|---|---|
A numeric chat id, with or without a leading - | Chat id |
@handle or a public t.me/… link | Public handle |
t.me/c/<id>/… message link | Chat id |
A private invite link (t.me/+…, /joinchat/…) | Refused, see below |
What the bot replies
| Situation | Reply |
|---|---|
| Not a link or id | That doesn't look like a group link or ID., then the Add Groups prompt again |
| A private invite link | That's a private invite link, and Telegram doesn't let bots look those up. Send /getid inside the group and paste the group ID here. |
| The bot isn't in that chat | I'm not in this group yet, add me first and repaste the link. |
| The bot isn't an admin there | I'm in the group but not an admin yet, once I am admin repaste the link. |
| It's a channel | That's not a group. Send the link of a group I'm an admin in. |
| Already authorized | The picker redraws with <title> is already authorized ✅ on top. |
