BotFather replies

All hail the BotFather! 👑 I've been added to your group to help organise your weekly fives game. First I'll post my contact card — add me so you can @mention me.

Don't take our word for it

Groups across the UK use BotFather every week.

Saves me about 20 messages every week chasing people for in or out. I just add someone to the group and BotFather does the rest.

Jake

5-a-side organiser, Edinburgh

The reserve system is brilliant. I used to miss out because I was too slow to reply. Now I just mark myself as in and BotFather sorts it.

Sam

Regular player, Leeds

We were using a shared notes app before. Never again. BotFather knows who owes money, who's been invited, who needs chasing. It's all there.
