Telegram says any message can now become an app. With Bot API 10.4, bots can send interactive HTML widgets inside chat bubbles, under 4 KB compressed, that update in place and can request payments through Telegram's built-in TON wallet. Telegram pitches the widgets as a new canvas for bots and AI agents, and its docs include a ready-made prompt that teaches an AI model to write them. For now widgets only work in private chats with a bot, not in groups or forwarded messages.
