Telegram Bot – SmileBot | Fun + Food Inspiration

Built and launched a fun Telegram bot that:

Sends fresh jokes from anekdotov.net (/joke or just type “анекдот”)
Helps decide “what to cook?” — suggests random recipes and meal ideas (/food, /recipe or phrases like “что приготовить”, “я голоден”)
Understands natural Russian & English messages, supports simple dialogue

Tech stack: Python 3.10+, python-telegram-bot, async handling, web scraping (requests + BeautifulSoup)
The bot is live, fully functional and actively used.
Ready to enhance: add more recipe sources (e.g. gastronom.ru), categories, filters, buttons, stats, translations.
