Spam protection for Telegram groups

Lucy holds.
You decide.

Miss Lucy screens every new member of your Telegram group. She mutes the ones that look like spam and shows your admins why. Nobody is banned until a person says so.

Free for spam protection. Premium is 250 Stars per group every 30 days.

How it works

From a new member to a decision, in three steps.

Detection starts the minute Lucy joins. You choose what else she does, from picture puzzles to welcome messages.

  1. 01

    Every new member gets a score

    Lucy checks the account's age, name, profile, first messages, links, and the invite link they used. Each check adds points she can show you.

  2. 02

    Doubtful members wait

    Past the threshold, Lucy mutes the member and sends your admins an evidence card. A picture puzzle can let real people through on their own.

  3. 03

    A person decides

    Ban, Watch, or Release from the card in Telegram, the Mini App, or the web. Lucy never bans anyone on her own.

Evidence cards

See why before you decide.

Each hold arrives as one card in your admin chat: who they are, what Lucy found, and what she removed. One tap bans, watches, or releases.

  • Profile photo, bio, name, and ID
  • The score and every reason behind it
  • The message or photo Lucy removed
Evidence card for a held account named Airdrop Alerts: a score of 90 out of 60, three reasons, its bio, and the photo message Lucy removed.

Picture puzzles

Easy for people. Hard for bots.

New members can prove they are real with a quick picture puzzle. Pick the puzzles your group uses, then see how each one performs.

  • Six puzzles, no text to read
  • Pass rate and solve time for each puzzle
  • Shows which puzzle lets spammers through
  • Category puzzle with nine numbered pictures: a jacket, a whale, a dog, a pear, a butterfly, jeans, a burger, a penguin, and a top hat. Category
  • Upright puzzle with six numbered pictures of the same tree, turned in different directions. One tree stands upright. Upright
  • Twin pictures puzzle with six numbered pictures. Two of them, a red flag on grass, are the same. Twin pictures
  • Biggest puzzle with six numbered pictures of different sizes: cheese, a bus, a rabbit, a tractor, a tree, and an orange. Biggest
  • Picture match puzzle showing one picture, a green tractor, on a pale background. Picture match
  • Arrows puzzle with two numbered tiles: one arrow points right and one points left. Arrows

Insights

Know how your group is really doing.

Messages, active members, joins and leaves, and when people talk. Each number comes with a plain sentence that says what it counts.

  • Which invite links bring spam
  • How fast your admins decide
  • 60 days of history on the free plan
Activity screen with the Insights tab: messages, daily and monthly active members, net growth, messages per day, and when people talk. A note explains what Daily active counts.

Groups and guilds

Every group you run, in one place.

Switch between groups in the app, or link them into a guild. A ban in one guild group can reach the others, and it still counts as one human decision.

  • One review queue across all your groups
  • Shared bans and settings for a guild
  • Works in Telegram, on the phone, and on the web
All groups screen listing four groups with their plan, member count, waiting holds, and whether Lucy is an admin.

How Lucy behaves

Three rules she never breaks.

  • She never bans on her own.

    Lucy mutes and holds. A ban always comes from a person, and any ban can be undone from the same card.

  • Every score shows its reasons.

    Each point Lucy adds has a reason you can read, on the card and in the app. You never have to guess why she held someone.

  • She keeps counts, not your chat.

    Insights store numbers, not message text. Lucy keeps a message only when she removes it as evidence, and only for 90 days.

Questions

Before you add her.

Does Lucy ban people on her own?

No. When a member looks like spam, Lucy mutes them and shows your admins why. Only a person can ban, and any ban can be undone.

What rights does she need in my group?

Restrict members, Delete messages, and Ban members. Add administrators is optional, and only needed for /promote. If a right is missing, Lucy tells you what she cannot do.

Where do I see the members she holds?

Each hold arrives as an evidence card in your admin chat, or in your DMs if you have not set up an admin chat. You can also review holds in the Mini App and the web console.

Does Lucy read and store our messages?

Lucy scores messages as they arrive, but she does not keep an archive of your chat. She keeps a copy of a message only when she removes it or when a member reports it, and only for 90 days. Insights store numbers, not message text.

How do I pay for Premium?

Premium costs 250 Telegram Stars per group every 30 days. You pay in the Mini App, inside Telegram. It renews automatically, and you can cancel any time from your Telegram Stars settings.

Add Lucy to your group.

Add her, make her an admin, and send /start. Detection begins at once, and she tells you if a right is missing.
