Automate Telegram AI image generation and social media posting

This n8n workflow allows users to generate AI-powered images and visuals through a Telegram bot interface, with optional automatic publishing to popular social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X. Users can create text-to-image, image-to-image, and multi-image fusion scenes, leveraging the Nano Banana PRO AI model.

The workflow handles image enhancement, compression, and social media caption generation to streamline the content creation and distribution process. This is a self-hosted solution that requires integrations with Telegram, Kie.ai, Cloudinary, OpenAI, and optionally TinyPNG and Blotato. It is particularly useful for product visuals, lifestyle scenes, and content creation workflows where manual image generation and posting would be repetitive.
