Project: Genealogy Bot
Uniting generations with technology
A Telegram bot that turns the complex process of studying family history into an engaging and simple activity, available to everyone right on their smartphone.
Challenge: Make family history accessible and interactive
Traditional family tree building is a complex process that requires special programs, lengthy data collection, and manual drawing of connections, but our Telegram bot for genealogy simplifies this.
- Easily add and edit information about themselves and relatives.
- Visualize the family tree on the fly.
- Find potential relatives among other bot users.
- Use the bot in their native language.
Solution: A multifunctional genealogy assistant in Telegram
We developed a bot with a step-by-step interface that guides the user. The main functionality includes:
Profile management
Convenient forms for adding and editing complete information about a person, including dates and places of birth/death, photos, and maiden names.
Automatic tree generation
The main 'magic' of the project. The bot builds and sends the user a PNG image of their family tree in real time, clearly displaying all family ties.
Intelligent match search
A unique system that analyzes the data of all users and looks for potential intersections — from direct matches to common ancestors (for example, second cousins), with subsequent confirmation of the connection.
Full multilingual support
The bot's interface supports Russian, English, Kazakh, and Tatar languages, with the ability to switch at any time.
