Personal Telegram AI Bot & Mini App Guide

Telegram is one of the world's most active communication platforms, but it is also a prime target for social engineering, fake giveaway channels, impersonation, and fraudulent crypto drainers.

Stormhood provides two interconnected tools for Telegram users:

The Personal AI Bot (@stormhood_bot): Your on-demand scam analyst inside direct messages.
The Telegram Mini App: A native in-app dashboard to monitor scan quotas, manage community defenses, and sync your account.

1. Using the Personal AI Bot (@stormhood_bot)

You can interact with @stormhood_bot directly in your private chats just like messaging a cybersecurity analyst.

A. Forward Suspicious Messages & Offers

Whenever you receive an unsolicited message, job offer, crypto investment scheme, or prize notification:
1. Forward the message directly to @stormhood_bot.
2. Stormhood extracts embedded links, checks the sender's channel age, and runs natural language heuristic analysis.
3. You receive an instant Threat Verdict:
  - 🟢 Safe: Verified domain or standard conversation.
  - 🟡 Caution: Unverified domain age, artificial urgency, or suspicious redirects.
  - 🔴 High Risk: Known phishing signature, wallet drainer, or impersonator.

B. Screenshot & Image Analysis

Received a screenshot of a "bank transfer receipt", "crypto support ticket", or suspicious QR code?
Send or forward the image directly to the bot.
Our Vision AI extracts the text via OCR and scans for deceptive typography, urgency triggers, and spoofed bank logos.

C. Direct URL Checking

Send any URL or shortened link (e.g. t.me/..., bit.ly/...) into the chat.
Stormhood traces the complete HTTP redirect chain and inspects the final destination before you click it.

2. The Telegram Mini App

The Stormhood Mini App runs directly inside Telegram without installing any external application.
