Completely free
DeloPulse is a free Telegram bot that turns a work chat into a task-control system. Create a task with the /task command right in the group, every assignee marks completion individually, and the whole team sees who is done and who is not. Nobody has to sign up or move to a separate tracker, and the chat doesn't fill up with bot messages.

Prepare the July sales report

3 hours left before the deadline of “Prepare the July sales report”.
The problem
Three reasons task control in work groups usually fails.
I posted it in the chat, and it drowned
A hundred messages later the assignment is gone. Pinning helps for a while, until there are a dozen pinned messages and nobody opens them.
We set up a tracker and dropped it in a week
Jira and boards live apart from the conversation. The team keeps discussing work in Telegram, and the tracker quietly dies.
Assigned to “everyone”, done by no one
When a task is shared, responsibility is diluted. Everyone assumes someone else will report back.
How it works
Quick actions happen in the chat, and the full picture is in the Mini App. Whichever you open, the task and its state are the same.
In the group: /task @Malika @Rustam @Timur report by tomorrow 18:00. Assign specific people, everyone, or a saved assignee group such as “on duty”.
Every assignee has their own status and, if needed, a personal deadline. The “Done” button works the same from the group, DMs and the Mini App.
For a deadline with a time, 24 hours, 3 hours and 1 hour before; for a date-only deadline, on the morning of the previous working day and on the morning of the due day. As direct messages and only to those who haven't reported. Once you're done, reminders stop. The bot doesn't post to the group before the deadline on its own.
When a deadline passes, the bot posts exactly one group message listing who missed it. Once the task is closed, the message is removed.
Features
DeloPulse is built around one kind of work: an assignment given in a group that each person has to finish and report on. Planning whole projects is left to other tools.
Assign a task to one person, several, everyone, or a saved group, and each assignee has their own status: accepted, in progress, done, overdue. If two of five people have reported, the card shows which two. The task closes only when everyone has reported.
The task author can review the work: accept it or send it back with a comment. Until the result is accepted, the task stays open.
Automatically, only to those who haven't reported: 24 hours, 3 hours and 1 hour before a deadline with a time; for a date-only deadline, on the morning of the previous working day and on the morning of the due day. Plus manual reminders from the author when needed.
One deadline for everyone or an individual one per assignee. Overdue is calculated against the personal deadline.
Set up a weekly report or a monthly reconciliation once, and DeloPulse creates the task on schedule. Duty rotations work the same way.
Who delivers on time and who is chronically late is visible in per-period statistics. If the author takes three days to review a finished result, those days are not counted against the assignee.
Everyone sees their last ten deadlines, the group sees weekly results without names, and the manager can say thanks with one tap. No points, levels or competition. Why it works this way is explained on the page about non-monetary employee motivation.
All group tasks with filters, a deadline calendar, change history and a summary dashboard in an app inside Telegram. Plus your personal summary across all your groups.
Split a task into items, and each person checks off their own. Discussion lives in task comments instead of drowning in the chat stream.
An assignee can ask a question about the task or request a deadline change. The author answers questions in the comments and approves or declines the new deadline; until then the old one stands.
The author attaches up to ten files to an assignment, for example an estimate or a photo of the site. The assignee can hand in the result with an attachment. Files stay in Telegram and open with the Files button on the card and in the Mini App.
Why it's reliable
A task bot is only useful if you don't have to check it against the chat. Here is what DeloPulse does so that you don't.
A state change and its notification are one transaction. A task cannot “complete” without a notification, and a notification cannot arrive twice.
DeloPulse doesn't use userbot accounts or scrape member lists, so it sees only what Telegram shows any bot.
A group's tasks are visible only to its members. Permissions are checked on the server for every action, not on interface buttons.
Each task has one card, and the bot edits it instead of posting again. Service messages get cleaned up afterwards, and reminders go to DMs.
FAQ
Nothing. DeloPulse is completely free: every feature (tasks, reminders, recurring assignments, analytics and the rating) is available at no cost and with no member limits.
No. Your Telegram account is your identity. Add the bot to a group, an admin picks the language and time zone, and you can start assigning tasks. You don't need an e-mail address or a password.
The bot doesn't parse or store ordinary conversation: from group messages it only notes who wrote them, so it knows the members. Tasks are created with /task or in the Mini App. It works through the official Telegram Bot API, with no userbot accounts. Each group's data is isolated from other groups.
It won't. Each task has a single card that updates in place. Pre-deadline reminders arrive as direct messages only. The group learns about an overdue task from one message, removed once the task is closed.
Work groups of any size: departments, project teams, operations shifts, distributed teams and working committees. There is no member limit. One person can belong to several groups and see a personal summary across all of them.
Telegram doesn't allow bots to message first. Until a member opens a chat with the bot, they get mentions in the group, and the card shows who the reminders can't reach yet. Connecting takes a couple of taps.
