BranditScan has introduced a new Telegram Bot feature designed to assist creators with content protection. The bot allows creators to initiate a free live leak scan directly through Telegram, offering 50 complimentary takedowns upon launch.

BranditScan's New Telegram Bot

On August 25, 2026, BranditScan launched its Telegram Bot feature for creators. The bot enables users to conduct a free live leak scan by messaging @branditscan_bot on Telegram. To use the feature, creators enter their stage name and stolen links. As part of the launch, each creator who messages the bot will receive 50 free takedowns.

Jessica Hookimaw, BranditScan CMO, stated that creators use Telegram, and the company aimed to meet them where they are. Hookimaw indicated that the bot allows creators to act on leaks immediately, whether they are notified by a fan or discover a stolen clip themselves, without needing to access a dashboard or wait.

BranditScan is a content-protection and DMCA takedown service that targets creators on platforms such as OnlyFans, Fansly, and Chaturbate. The service emphasizes AI technology, with its current homepage tagline being "Your Face. Your Brand. AI Protected." BranditScan frames its product around faster scans and automated takedowns. The company is listed as a Google Trusted Copyright Removal Program partner and maintains a public Trustpilot profile.

BranditScan's process, based on publicly available information, involves users initiating a free scan or trial. The service's AI then scans the web for content and likeness matches, subsequently filing DMCA takedowns and Google delisting requests for identified content. BranditScan markets facial recognition and AI image matching as central to its detection capabilities, claiming it can identify content even when cropped or edited.

Telegram's Evolving Bot Capabilities

Telegram bots offer various features for building interfaces, including commands, keyboards, and buttons. Commands are simple /keywords that instruct the bot, highlighted in messages and selectable from a list. Keyboards replace the user's keyboard with predefined answer options, while buttons appear next to messages from the bot. Mini Apps provide custom interfaces with JavaScript that launch within Telegram.

Telegram has been enhancing its bot capabilities, with a major AI upgrade rolled out on May 8, 2026. This update, available on Telegram version 12.7.0 and newer, introduced 11 new features focused on AI automation and improved chat management. These additions include guest bots and the ability for bots to communicate directly with each other, which supports more advanced automated workflows. The update also brought enhancements to mini apps, developer tools, and business monetization features.

Guest Bots, a significant update, allows bots to temporarily join chats, groups, and channels. This functionality is intended for applications such as customer support, temporary AI assistants, and automated moderation. Telegram stated that these features aim to strengthen the platform for AI services and automated workflows.
