Follows bot

Open the menu, tap 👀 My watchlist, then ➕ Add account. Send the account's handle, with or without the @.

If you have cohorts on a paid plan, the message has a button for each one: tap it to put the new account in that cohort.

When you add an account, the bot first reads who it already follows. Alerts start with the next account it follows after that.

Private accounts can't be watched, because X doesn't show who they follow.

👀 My watchlist shows each account as a button. Tap one to see its follower count, open it on X with 👤 View on X, put it in a cohort with 🧠 Add to cohort, or stop watching it with 🗑 Remove. You can also add and remove accounts on the website.

How many accounts you can watch depends on your plan (Free 3, Shitcoiner 10, Degen 50, Researcher 100, Whale 300).

When an account you watch follows someone new, you get an alert like this one.

Tap 👤 View Profile to open the new account on X.

On some plans, extra lines at the top of an alert tell you why it may matter.

• HOT. Several accounts you watch followed the same account within 24 hours. You choose how many in Alert settings.
  🔥🔥 Breaking news! 3 of the accounts you watch just started following this account in the last 24 hours!
• Low followers. The new account has as many followers as your low-follower number, or fewer.
  👀 Heads up! This new account has few followers, so it might be worth checking out.
• Cohort. Several accounts in one of your cohorts followed the same account within 24 hours.
  🧠 3 accounts in your VCs cohort just started following this account in the last 24 hours!

These lines come with Degen, Researcher and Whale. On the Free plan you get them in your first week too. See Plans.

Alert settings decide when an account counts as HOT or low-follower. They come with every paid plan, and with the Free plan for your first week. Open them in your private chat with the bot, or on the website under Alert settings.

Tap ⚙️ Alert settings in the menu. Each line shows its current number: tap it and send the new one.

• 🔥 HOT, daily or 🔥 HOT, weekly. Send how many of your accounts must follow the same account, 2 or more. The daily number is used for alerts and the daily summary, the weekly number for the weekly summary.
• 👀 Low followers. Send a follower count, 1 or more.

Until you change them, HOT is 2 accounts and low-follower is 100 followers.

A cohort is a set of accounts you watch, say VCs or devs. From the Degen plan up, when several accounts in one cohort follow the same account within 24 hours, the alert gets a cohort line, and the cohort gets its own summary.

1. Tap 👀 My watchlist, then 🧠 Cohorts, then ➕ New cohort.
2. Send a name.
3. Tap ➕ Add accounts and tap the accounts you want, from those you already watch.
4. Tap 🔥 Cohort HOT settings to change its two lines: the daily one and the weekly one. Each is how many of the cohort's accounts must follow the same account, 2 or more.

To change a cohort later, open it from 🧠 Cohorts: tap an account to take it out, ✏️ Rename to give it a new name, or 🗑 Delete cohort to delete the cohort (its accounts stay on your watchlist). You can also manage cohorts on the website.

Paid plans include cohorts (Shitcoiner 1, Degen 20, Researcher 20 and Whale 20).

Summaries list the accounts that the accounts you watch followed most. Every paid plan gets them. On the Free plan you get the daily summary for your first week and the weekly one for your first two weeks.

• Daily summary, every day at 08:00 UTC. The HOT accounts of the last 24 hours, and newly followed accounts with a low follower count.
• Weekly summary, every Sunday at 16:00 UTC. The HOT accounts of the last 7 days.

Each summary shows the top 5, with a button for the rest. If you have cohorts, the daily summary has a 🧠 Cohort summary button, which works on Degen, Researcher and Whale.

You can also ask for one in your private chat: tap 📊 Summaries in the menu, then 📅 Last 24 hours, 🗓 Last 7 days or 🧠 Cohort summary. Or send /summary for the last 24 hours or /last7summary for the last 7 days. These work on Degen, Researcher and Whale.

The Free plan covers 3 accounts in your private chat.

If you watch more accounts than your plan allows, alerts stop saying who followed whom. You get this instead.

Remove accounts or choose a bigger plan to get full alerts again. Your list stays as it is.

Add the Follows bot to a Telegram group or channel on a group & channel plan and everyone there gets the alerts. Set it up from 👥 Groups & channels in your private chat with the bot. Only the chat's admins change its list. See Groups and channels.
