Username Studio — find short Telegram usernames with a local LLM

#python #showdev #opensource #telegram

If you've ever tried to find a short, clean Telegram username —
you know how painful it is. Everything good is taken.
You end up typing random combinations for 20 minutes.

I built a local tool to fix that.

What is Username Studio?

Username Studio generates, scores, and checks short Telegram
usernames (5–6 chars) using a local LLM. Everything runs on
your machine — no cloud, no subscriptions.

How it works

Generate — LM Studio (local LLM) creates username candidates in three styles: brandable, russian transliteration, multilingual
Score — each username gets rated on readability, brandability, meaning, and rarity
Filter — only valid 5–6 char lowercase latin usernames pass
Check — optionally verify availability via Telegram API (Telethon), with dry-run mode for safety
Track — everything saved to local SQLite with full status history

Stack

Python 3.10+
LM Studio — local OpenAI-compatible LLM API
Telethon — Telegram MTProto client
SQLite — local storage
Flask — local web dashboard

Web dashboard

The main interface is a local browser dashboard at
http://127.0.0.1:8080. You can browse batches, see scores,
pick candidates and run Telegram checks — all without touching
the terminal.

CLI mode is also available for terminal lovers.
