Glossary
A-Z of every term you might encounter. Definitions are concept-level. For mechanics, see the relevant tutorial or explanation page.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
A private message inside a channel. tease.bot replies in both private DMs and channel DMs equally.
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
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.
Fan
Any Telegram user who has interacted with your persona at least once. Listed in Fans.
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
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.
Inbox
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.
List
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.
LTV
Lifetime Value. The total amount a single fan has paid you across all PPVs and tips since the first interaction.
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
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
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
Your AI character on Telegram. Has a name, gender, sexuality, voice, chat style, language preferences, and limits. Trained in onboarding, refined later in AI Chatter.
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).
PPV
Pay-per-view. A locked photo or video set the fan can unlock by paying in Telegram Stars. Built and managed in Scripts.
Premium
The third tier of the tease.bot subscription. Multi-persona, Master Voice Clone, custom onboarding. $499.99/mo.
Pro
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
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.
Stars
Telegram’s native digital currency. 1 Star is worth roughly 1.3 cents at the time of writing. Fans pay for PPVs and tips in Stars; tease.bot converts to USD on your dashboard.
Starter
The entry tier of the tease.bot subscription. One persona, Custom Voice Design, the full chatbot loop. $49.99/mo.
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)
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.
Tip
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
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
A crypto address you save in Settings → Payouts to receive payouts. Supports USDT or USDC on TRC20, ERC20, BEP20, or Solana.
Whale
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.
