Most places that let you publish a character give you a form and a hope. Talaforge gives you a cabinet: a place that knows which characters are yours, how people found them, and what the public page under your name says about you.
It opens after your first public character is approved. Before that, you can write and keep private characters freely; the cabinet is what a published character unlocks.
Where it is
In the bot, My Profile shows the creator rows once you have made a character: **Creator Dashboard**, **Profile**, **My creation style** and **My bots**. In the Mini App, the Me tab has Create character, My characters, and **Creator profile**. The same Me tab works in a browser at app.talaforge.net after a Telegram sign-in.
If you are not a creator yet, the Mini App says it plainly: publish a character, get it approved, and your creator page unlocks right after.
The dashboard: which link brought them
The dashboard counts people who arrived through your links: total referrals, how many paid and how many did not, and then a row for each of your characters — visits, paid, and the share that converted. It shows your ten most active characters and says so when there are more.
Read it for what it is. The per-character numbers are share-link traffic: someone who found the character in the catalogue and never used a link is not in them. It is a tool for knowing which post, which channel and which link works — not a ledger of everything a character has done.
The card the public sees
Your creator card is a page under your name: a display name, a short bio of up to five hundred characters, an optional photo, a link to your own Telegram channel once a moderator has approved it, your featured characters, and the full shelf of what you have published.
You choose the featured characters — up to five, picked by hand, or left on automatic so the newest five are shown. Only approved characters that appear in the catalogue can be featured. The shelf can be sorted by featured, new, popular or top rated, and searched by name.
People reach it from a character card (the line that says «by» and your name) and from the Creator Catalog in the bot, which lists creators by popularity, novelty or alphabet. You can open your own public page from the Creator profile screen and see how many times it has been viewed.
What you can switch off
Everything on the card has a switch. The Privacy Settings let you make the whole profile private or public, and show or hide the photo, the character count, chat statistics and the total favourites. Two more switches control whether people who subscribed to you are told when you publish a new character or a new bot.
One switch deserves its own sentence: whether other people may run bots on your characters. It is off until you turn it on.
What is never shown: the public page does not reveal earnings, raw ids or any contact details beyond the channel a moderator approved. If you want to be known, the card is how; if you would rather stay a name on a shelf, switch it private and the characters remain.
Edit once, use everywhere
The bot and the Mini App edit the same profile. Display name, bio, photo, featured characters and the privacy switches are in both; the Telegram channel link is set in the bot and approved by a moderator. You can also add your Telegram Stars affiliate link — Telegram, not Talaforge, pays that commission — and choose whether it is included in the links you share.
If you want a character to reach people where they already are, any character can become its own Telegram bot, and the creator page on earning explains how a share of what people spend inside it comes back to its author.
How a character gets in
A private character is yours alone and is live at once. A public one is reviewed: an automatic check, then a person. You can already chat with it while it waits, you are told when it is approved or rejected, and later edits to a public character are reviewed too, with the published version staying live until the change is approved. In the web editor up to five characters can wait at once.
Writing the character is the other half of the job, and a one-sentence draft does the first pass for you.
The ten-minute tour
- Create a character in the bot and submit it as public.
- Open the Mini App, go to Me, and see the Creator profile screen waiting for approval.
- Write your bio and choose three featured characters.
- Decide the switches: photo, counts, announcements.
- When the character is approved, open your public page from a different account and look at it as a stranger would.
It is free to try, there is nothing to install, and it starts at @talaforge_bot in Telegram.
