The interesting Mini Apps in 2026 are not Hamster copies. Seven product patterns I would actually steal: group-native tools, a dual PWA door, exclusive drops, internal ops, one-job AI, matching without a fleet, and Stars as the receipt - not the product.
A concrete Mini App for a trip, a flat, or a small team: open from the group, log who paid, simplify debts, settle with Stars, an invoice, or TON. Why `chat_instance` is the workspace, and what I would ship first.
Some customers live in Telegram. Some will never open a bot. Subeasy-style dual door: local-first UI, Telegram initData on one path, a normal session on the other, Stars when you are inside the messenger. How I would ship it without forking the product.
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews who to hire. Ranking on Google does not put your name in that answer. What GEO actually is, why a JS-only site is invisible, and what I put on a page so a model can cite it.
