Telegram AI Assistant Automatically Summarizes Articles

This Telegram bot serves as a smart personal assistant, capable of automatically recognizing and routing commands like /help, /summary, and /img to provide intelligent responses. The bot fetches articles from shared links, extracts the content, and generates concise 10-12 bullet point summaries using OpenAI's language models.

Additionally, it can process image generation prompts and integrate with AI-powered image creation services. This workflow is designed to boost productivity by enabling users to quickly digest articles and web content, share summaries with colleagues, and access 24/7 AI-powered assistance directly within the Telegram messaging platform.

Logic

Command Router

The bot routes the message to the appropriate command handler based on the prefix (/help, /summary, or /img).

3
Action

Help Command

If the message starts with /help, the bot responds with a list of available commands and their usage instructions.

4
Action

Summary Command

If the message starts with /summary, the bot fetches the article from the provided URL, extracts the main text, and generates a 10-12 point bullet-point summary using OpenAI's language models.

5
Action

Summary Delivery

The bot sends the generated summary back to the user in Telegram.

6
Logic

Image Command

If the message starts with /img, the bot processes the image prompt and sends it to OpenAI's image generation endpoint.

7
Action

Image Generation

OpenAI's image generation model creates the requested image, and the bot notifies the user that the image is being generated.

8
Action

Image Delivery

The bot sends the generated image back to the user in Telegram.
