Deploy and Host exciting-heart on Railway

exciting-heart is a simple Telegram chatbot powered by Hugging Face's FLAN-T5 model. It listens to user messages and replies with AI-generated responses. Hosted on Railway, this bot can run 24/7 with minimal setup and no server headaches — perfect for indie developers, prompt testers, or AI hobbyists.

About Hosting exciting-heart

Hosting exciting-heart on Railway only takes a few minutes. This project uses Python to connect Telegram with Hugging Face’s inference API.

It’s great for small-scale AI assistants or prompt-based experiments — no VPS, no manual deployment.
