Automate Telegram Chatbots with AI-Powered Responses

This template listens for Telegram bot messages, reads the text in JavaScript, asks ChatGPT for a reply, and sends that reply in the same chat.

Connect Telegram and put the bot token on the Telegram connection. ChatGPT is a Latenode AI step, so you do not paste an OpenAI key.

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
