Quickstart For Telegram

This is the fastest way to start using the PredictDog Telegram bot.

If this is your first time, use Telegram in this order:

  1. send /start
  2. look at wallet and portfolio first
  3. try a simple natural-language query
  4. use a direct command only after you know which product area you need
  5. return to web if the bot surfaces setup or funding requirements

1. Open the bot and send /start​

/start is the main entrypoint for the bot. It opens the main menu and gives you the fastest route into wallet, portfolio, and supported trading workflows.

PredictDog Telegram bot main menu

The main menu shows your live account summary and provides one-tap access to every major product area: Buy, Search market, Copy trading, Portfolio, Positions, My wallet, PolyMarket, Predict.fun, Memecoins, Recurring Crypto, and more.

2. Learn the core commands​

The current bot exposes first-class commands for:

  • /start for the main menu
  • /wallet for wallet information
  • /portfolio for portfolio statistics
  • /copy for copy trading
  • /predict for Predict.fun
  • /memecoins for the Solana memecoin board
  • /help for help and FAQs

You may also see related venue commands such as Predict.fun positions, orders, and activity commands depending on the flow you are using.

The exact visible menu can evolve, but these commands represent the current core product entrypoints.

Best command choices by intent​

  • use /start if you are not sure where to begin
  • use /wallet if you want to confirm account-linked wallet state
  • use /portfolio if your first question is what you currently hold
  • use /predict if you want the dedicated Predict.fun path
  • use /memecoins if you want the compact Solana memecoin entrypoint
  • use /help if you need a reminder of the available bot surface

3. Use chat naturally when supported​

For supported workflows, the bot can understand natural-language requests such as:

  • asking for positions
  • checking balances
  • searching markets
  • interacting with supported trade flows

Good first examples:

  • my positions
  • my balance
  • bitcoin markets

4. Treat Telegram as the fast surface, not the only surface​

Telegram is excellent for quick access, but some account and funding flows remain web-first.

If the bot tells you that setup, readiness, or funding is required, the practical next step is often to resolve it on web.

Common mistake:

  • trying to force a venue workflow from Telegram when the bot is already telling you the account is not ready

Better rule:

  • use Telegram for speed, and web for setup, funding, and full account context

That way you can:

  • set up and fund on web
  • monitor and act quickly in Telegram
  • return to web for deeper portfolio, funding, and product management views

What Telegram is best at​

Telegram is especially strong for:

  • quick portfolio and balance checks
  • menu-based navigation into product areas
  • natural-language prompts for supported flows
  • fast follow-up after your account is already configured
