Here's a simple template that demonstrates how you can easily utilize BuildShip to build an AI Telegram Chatbot with the OpenAI Assistant node. The template also uses the BuildShip Database to maintain the chat sessions for each channel.
@Botfather in the search tab./newbot command.bot. The bot would be available to add in groups or chat via the search bar using its unique username./setprivacy and follow the prompts. Disabling group privacy will allow your bot to receive and respond to all messages that people send to groups. Keeping enabled will allow your bot to receive messages that mention the bot by username or start with the / symbol.t.me/[bot_username].

This template uses the OpenAI Assistant. You can get your OpenAI API Key from the OpenAI Developer Dashboard. Add this key to the OpenAI Assistant node.
Create an OpenAI Assistant on the OpenAI Developer Dashboard > Assistants, and copy the Assistant ID and add it to your Assistant node.
💡QUICK NOTE: When getting the Assistant ID from the OpenAI Dashboard, it's best to select 'text' as the Response Format.
You can customize this chatbot for your use case by:
Once all the set up is complete and the API Keys are added, click on the "Ship" button to deploy the workflow. This would automatically connect to your Telegram Bot you just created.
Test out the workflow by directly messaging your bot, for example, saying "Quiz me!". The bot should reply with a history MCQ quiz. You can directly respond with the answer option, as it now maintains the chat history and would have the context of the previous conversation.
In case of any issues, check out the logging panel at the bottom for a better debugging experience.
