Glossary
A-Z of every term you might encounter. Definitions are concept-level. For mechanics, see the relevant tutorial or explanation page.
Agency
Section titled “Agency”The fourth tier of the tease.bot subscription. For creator agencies and high-volume rosters who need custom deal terms beyond Premium. Reach out at hello@tease.bot.
AI assistant
Section titled “AI assistant”The AI that replies on the creator’s behalf inside the Telegram inbox. Configured with the creator’s tone, boundaries, routing rules and approval steps. Synonym for Persona in the older terminology — the dashboard and most docs use both terms, with “AI assistant” being the preferred external label and “persona” remaining as the internal name for the configurable character.
AI Messaging CRM
Section titled “AI Messaging CRM”The product category tease.bot ships in: an inbox + customer-relationship-management workspace with an AI assistant layer, built on top of Telegram. Distinct from a “monetization platform” (tease.bot does not process fan payments — Telegram does, via Stars) and from a “creator marketplace” (tease.bot has no public discovery surface, no fan-side checkout).
Automation
Section titled “Automation”A scheduled action your persona performs without prompting: re-engaging a cold fan after a day, opening with a “good morning” to regulars, following up on a PPV that was seen but not bought. Each automation has an on/off toggle and editable timing in Automations.
Bot Setup
Section titled “Bot Setup”The dashboard surface where you connect your Telegram bot, switch on Business Mode, and verify the connection is live. Lives at /bot-setup.
Business Mode
Section titled “Business Mode”A free Telegram feature that lets a bot reply on your behalf in private DMs. Without it, the bot only replies inside its own chat. With it, fans messaging your personal Telegram get answered by your persona, signed as you. See the Business Mode guide.
Chatbot
Section titled “Chatbot”In tease.bot context, the AI persona running on Telegram. Distinct from “the bot”, which is the Telegram entity (the @handle); the chatbot is the AI personality plugged into it.
Channel
Section titled “Channel”A Telegram one-way broadcast surface where a creator posts and subscribers receive. Different from a chat (two-way messaging) or a bot (a Telegram entity that runs code).
Channel DM
Section titled “Channel DM”A private message inside a channel. tease.bot replies in both private DMs and channel DMs equally.
Custom Voice Design
Section titled “Custom Voice Design”The voice setup feature on the Starter tier. Tag-based UI for picking a voice’s gender, accent, age, language, pitch, tone, speed. Generates a tested preset for your persona to use in voice notes.
Discount
Section titled “Discount”A reduced price your persona may offer when a fan rejects a PPV. The minimum she will ever drop to is set by you in the wizard’s pricing screen and never goes below your PPV minimum.
Any Telegram user who has interacted with your persona at least once. Listed in Fans.
Fan Heat
Section titled “Fan Heat”A 1-to-5 indicator of how engaged a specific fan currently is, based on recent interaction. Higher means more buying signals from the fan; lower means cold or distant. Visible in the dashboard as a row of dots. Different from Persona Heat.
Funnel
Section titled “Funnel”A sequence of script tiers your persona walks a fan through over time. A funnel typically has 3 to 7 tiers, each with its own price and content set. Edited in Scripts.
The dashboard surface that shows live conversations between fans and your persona. You can read along, take over manually, send PPVs by hand, or send tips of your own. Lives at /inbox.
A smart segment of fans computed live from filters. Examples: “hot spenders” (fans with LTV above a threshold), “needs re-warming” (fans inactive for 7+ days), “VIPs” (fans with a tag). Lives at /lists.
Lifetime Value. The total amount a single fan has paid you across all PPVs and tips since the first interaction.
Master Voice Clone
Section titled “Master Voice Clone”The voice setup feature on the Premium tier. The most advanced voice solution offered, used for multi-persona accounts where each persona has a fully cloned voice.
Onboarding
Section titled “Onboarding”The 9-screen wizard that runs on first sign-in. Sets up your persona’s identity, chat style, languages, AI behaviour, pricing, and Telegram connection. Re-openable from Settings → Persona.
Payout
Section titled “Payout”A request to withdraw your Available now balance to a crypto wallet. Goes through a manual review (24–48 hours) before sending. See the payout guide.
Persona
Section titled “Persona”The internal name for the configurable AI character that replies on Telegram on the creator’s behalf — name, gender, sexuality, voice, chat style, language preferences, boundaries. Synonym for AI assistant in newer external copy; the two terms are used interchangeably across the dashboard and docs. Trained in onboarding, refined later in AI Chatter.
Persona Heat
Section titled “Persona Heat”A 1-to-5 indicator of how warm and effusive your persona is being toward a specific fan, computed automatically. Higher means more affectionate, lower means more reserved. Different from Fan Heat (which measures the fan’s engagement).
Pay-per-view. A locked photo or video set the fan can unlock by paying in Telegram Stars. Built and managed in Scripts.
Premium
Section titled “Premium”The third tier of the tease.bot subscription. Multi-persona, Master Voice Clone, custom onboarding. $499.99/mo.
The second-from-bottom tier of the tease.bot subscription. Adds Studio Voice Design and the heavier analytics surfaces on top of Starter. $199.99/mo.
Script
Section titled “Script”A funnel of locked content tiers your persona walks fans through. See Funnel. Some creators use the words interchangeably; in the dashboard the surface is called Scripts.

Studio Voice Design
Section titled “Studio Voice Design”The voice setup feature on the Pro tier. More precise than Custom; same tag-based UI, more parameters, broadcast-quality output.
Tier (in a script)
Section titled “Tier (in a script)”One step inside a funnel: a single locked photo or video set with its own price. A funnel typically has 3-7 tiers in escalating intensity. Confusingly, “tier” is also used for subscription plan tier (Starter / Pro / Premium / Agency); context disambiguates.
A discretionary payment from a fan to your persona on top of (or instead of) any PPV. Sent in Stars. Suggested-tip amount is configured in the wizard’s pricing screen.
Voice note
Section titled “Voice note”A short audio message your persona sends in chat. Voice quality is best when the voice is configured to speak in its native language; for short non-native phrases inside a longer message, voice still ships fine.
Wallet
Section titled “Wallet”A crypto address you save in Settings → Payouts to receive payouts. Supports USDT or USDC on TRC20, ERC20, BEP20, or Solana.
A fan who has spent significantly more than the average. tease.bot recognises whales automatically based on LTV and applies a more attentive style. You can also tag a fan as a whale manually in Fans.
