AI chatbot marketplace
An AI chatbot marketplace is where you buy or sell a chatbot for a channel you already use: a website, Telegram, Discord, or WhatsApp. This chatbot marketplace is also the AI bot marketplace shelf. The listing says whether you get source code or a bot the seller runs.
Live listings
Bots and chatbots. Telegram and Discord each have a narrower shelf.

Bots, agents, and workflows
A bot is the interface. Someone messages it, or it posts into a channel. An agent is a system that chooses its next step. A workflow is a fixed sequence in a tool such as n8n. A bot can have either one underneath, or neither: plenty of useful bots are a few commands and a template. The marketplace lists them as different product types so you do not buy an “agent” and receive a command menu, or buy a “bot” and receive a JSON file with no chat UI.
Buyers on a bot marketplace usually know the channel first. A community already lives on Discord. A shop already answers on Telegram. A site needs a widget. Start there. The model is a second decision: which one the bot calls, who pays for the tokens, and what the bot is allowed to say when it does not know.
Source code or a hosted bot
Source code means you run it. For Telegram that usually means a bot token from BotFather, a server, and the keys the code expects. For Discord it means a bot application, the permissions the listing explains, and a place for the process to stay online. You can change the code. You also own the outage.
A hosted bot means the seller runs it and you connect your channel. You trade control for a shorter setup. The listing should say what the seller stores, how you cancel, and what happens to the bot if the seller stops. Escrow covers the delivery matching the listing. It does not, by itself, promise that a hosted bot will exist a year later. Read the support line.
What a bot listing should answer
Which channel, and which permissions. What knowledge it answers from, if any, and what it does when the answer is not in that knowledge. Whether a human can take over. Which model, and whether the buyer brings a key. How long setup takes. What the price includes: the code, a month of hosting, updates, or a single handoff. Those lines are the difference between a bot marketplace and a folder of screenshots.
Show it working. A transcript of a real conversation, with the failures left in, is more useful than a mock bubble. Buyers are trying to see if the bot invents answers. If the listing claims it only answers from your documents, the transcript should show it refusing a question that is not in those documents.
Paying for a bot
The buyer pays into escrow. The seller is paid after the buyer confirms delivery, or automatically 3 days after delivery if no problem is reported. A bank payout is a later step and is not an instant transfer.
Listing on AIMarket24 is free. The platform keeps 15% of each sale. The first 50 sellers who publish a live listing are founding sellers and pay 5% for six months. The price on the listing is not the model bill. If the bot calls a paid API on every message, the listing should say who pays and what a busy day looks like. If the seller cannot estimate it, they should say the buyer needs to measure it, and they should say how: which log, which dashboard. A bot that hides its usage is a surprise invoice.
Selling a bot you already run
If the bot has been in your own community, you already have the best sales page: the jobs it actually does. Strip the tokens and the private history, write the permissions, and decide whether you are selling the code or a hosted copy. Selling the code means a stranger will read it. Take out hardcoded keys before you upload. The optional code audit looks for leaked secrets, risky dependencies, quality, and license, and a pass shows as a badge.
Near-copies are rejected at 95% similarity. If you forked a public bot, say so and make sure the license allows the sale. The marketplace is live. Sellers on the catalog go first. If the bot you want does not exist, the workshop builds one for build tokens at $1 each, after you accept a quote.
Choosing the first bot
Pick one repeated conversation. Support questions, booking, or onboarding are the usual first wins because the answers already exist in a FAQ. A bot that is supposed to “grow the community” is harder to judge and easier to regret. You can add a second job after the first one answers correctly.
Then pick the channel you already check every day. A perfect bot on a channel you ignore will not get corrected, and uncorrected bots drift. The marketplace will let you filter by product type so the bot shelf is not mixed with prompt packs and API keys. Browse listings if you want the note when that shelf opens.
Frequently asked questions
What can I buy on an AI bot marketplace?
Bots for channels such as Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and websites, either as source code you run or as a hosted bot, with the delivery written on the listing.
Is a chatbot marketplace different from a bot marketplace?
Here, no. A chatbot is a bot people talk to. The same shelf lists website, Telegram, and Discord bots, source or hosted, with escrow on the sale.
Do I need my own bot token?
For source-code bots on Telegram or Discord, yes. Hosted bots are connected by the seller. The listing says which one you are buying.
How is the payment protected?
You pay into escrow. The seller is paid when you confirm delivery, or automatically 3 days after delivery if no problem is reported.
When does the marketplace open?
The marketplace is live.
