#### Choose Your Bot Script

We offer two options for bot scripts:

1. **Basic Version (for Beginners)**\
   This version is ideal if you're just starting with bot development. The bot responds to commands with text messages and image sharing, allowing you to focus on the core functionality without being overwhelmed by unnecessary features.
