App stores and bot directories have a common problem. Search "telegram bot" and you get pages of results, each promising to do everything: reminders, polls, expenses, translations, horoscopes, and probably weather. The result is bots that do five things badly instead of one thing well.
There is another way to build software for chat: make each bot do exactly one job, and make that job take one message to understand. That is the idea behind the seven bots on tg.zovo.one. Each has a short guide page, and each works inside a normal Telegram chat without installing an app or granting dashboard access.
Here is the lineup.
Splitting a bill
https://tg.zovo.one/bots/split/
Dinner with four people, two of them paid cash, one covered drinks. The split bot takes the amounts and who owes what, then settles the math in the chat where everyone can see it. No spreadsheet, no "I'll Venmo you later" that becomes never.
Keeping a habit streak
https://tg.zovo.one/bots/habit/
A daily prompt arrives, you answer, the streak counter moves. Miss a day and the streak resets, which is the whole point. Habit apps lose to notification fatigue; a bot inside the app you already open twenty times a day does not.
Anonymous messages
https://tg.zovo.one/bots/whisper/
Send a message to the bot, your name stays out of it, the recipient gets the note. Useful for feedback you would not sign, and for the classic "who left this note in the group chat" game.
Event headcounts
https://tg.zovo.one/bots/rsvp/
Post the event, the bot collects yes/no/maybe replies in one thread and gives you a live count. The end of scrolling forty messages to count who is actually coming.
Quick polls
https://tg.zovo.one/bots/pulse/
One question, a few options, results as they land. Lighter than a full poll app and faster than typing "@everyone vote 1, 2, or 3".
Countdowns
https://tg.zovo.one/bots/when/
"A launch in 12 days, 4 hours" as a message in the chat, counting down in place. Launches, deadlines, trips, game releases.
The directory
https://tg.zovo.one/bots/hub/
All of the above in one place, so a group can keep a small menu of these instead of adding seven separate bots.
None of these require admin rights in a group you do not control, and most of them work in a plain direct message. If one of them fits a chat you are in, the guide pages above take about a minute to read each, and the whole site is at https://tg.zovo.one.
