5,000 members. 1,000 messages per day. Now none of it disappears.
A high-signal Telegram community was losing its best content to the feed. moat8 built a bot that captures, structures, and surfaces expert knowledge — turning a chat group into a living knowledge base.

The Problem
Experts shared gold. It was gone within hours.
The professional community had 5,000 active members generating over 1,000 messages per day. Experienced practitioners shared frameworks, recommendations, and niche insights that were genuinely valuable — but Telegram's search made anything older than a few hours effectively inaccessible. New members couldn't onboard from the collective knowledge. Valuable threads were repeated from scratch every few weeks. The community was producing value it couldn't retain.
