# Start using

There are two common usage scenarios: using public instance and deploying your own.

## Using public instance

While limited in coverage, public instance offers the access to the latest stable version of the API and chat-bots.

* [Public Telegram Bot](https://t.me/GarbageReminder_Bot)

You can find out more about public instance in the [Public instance](community/public/index.md) section.

## Deploying own instance

For more personalized experience, you can deploy your own API and clients wherever you want to.
Follow the [deployment guide](deployment.md) for detailed instructions.
