✈️ Telegram has launched hosting for Mini Apps on the domain tgcloud.ai. This development expands the serverless platform, enabling the creation of bots and the maintenance of their databases, front-end, and back-end components on Telegram's infrastructure.

Serverless functions are currently available in early access to owners of popular bots who have submitted applications through the waitlist via @BotFather.

🦀 An enthusiast successfully launched Grand Theft Auto V in a web browser by optimizing the game using artificial intelligence. The game on the website is no longer accessible.

💧 More about the Serverless architecture and the development of AI functions in Telegram in our new article.

🤖 Google Labs just launched Playground. You type what game you want in plain words, and AI builds it in a few minutes. Zero code.

What you can actually do with it:
• make a quick trivia or quiz for your channel or chat
• test a game idea before paying a dev to build a Mini App
• start from a ready genre: racing, tower defense, platformer, word puzzle
• send the game to friends by link and compare scores

People already made a pixel octopus shooter, a skyscraper stacking game and a foosball shootout, see them here.

🇺🇸 Catch: US only and 18+ for now. If you can get in, open Playground, build something in 5 minutes and drop the link in the comments =))
