Automate Telegram support with GPT-4 and Supabase document retrieval

This automation allows you to create a Telegram bot that uses GPT-4 for multi-modal processing and Supabase RAG to provide automated support.

The bot can handle text, audio, image, and document inputs from users, extract the relevant information, and generate context-aware responses by querying a Supabase vector database for similar content and injecting it into the OpenAI language model prompt. This enables a full Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) experience, where the bot's responses are grounded in the actual document content. The automation integrates with Telegram, OpenAI, Supabase, and supports a variety of document file types.

What this template does

  • Integrates a Telegram bot with GPT-4 for multi-modal processing and Supabase RAG.
  • Extracts relevant information from text, audio, images, and documents submitted by users.
  • Generates context-aware responses by querying a Supabase vector database for similar content.
  • Injects the retrieved information into the OpenAI language model prompt for a full Retrieval-Augmented Generation experience.
  • Supports a variety of document file types and stores the processed data in a Supabase database.

How it works

1
Trigger

Capture user messages from Telegram

The automation starts by listening for incoming messages from users on the Telegram platform. This includes text, audio, image, and document inputs that the users send to the bot.

2
Action

Interpret user inputs with GPT-4

The user-submitted content is then passed to the OpenAI GPT-4 model, which analyzes the inputs and extracts the relevant information and intent.

3
Action

Retrieve relevant context from Supabase

The automation queries the Supabase vector store to find the most relevant documents and content that can provide context and information to address the user's request.

4
Logic

Combine retrieved context with user input

Custom logic is applied to combine the user's input with the relevant context retrieved from the Supabase vector store. This enables the GPT-4 model to generate a comprehensive, context-aware response to the user's request.

5
Action

Send response back to the user on Telegram

The generated response is then sent back to the user on the Telegram platform, providing the user with the requested information and support.

Build automated WhatsApp chatbot with product catalog knowledge base

This Latenode automation template builds a WhatsApp chatbot that allows users to interact with a service or database, providing automated responses to inquiries and facilitating real-time communication through the WhatsApp Business API. The chatbot is powered by a product catalog vector store, which serves as a knowledge base to help the AI-driven agent better understand and respond to customer questions. The workflow captures incoming WhatsApp messages, filters out non-text messages, and then uses the product catalog to generate relevant responses that are sent back to the user. This solution can be configured with WhatsApp Business Cloud API and OpenAI API credentials, as well as the URL for the product brochure PDF.
