Telegram bot: Chat with OpenAI GPT-3.5 in your chat app

This Telegram bot allows users to interact with OpenAI's GPT language models, enabling them to send text prompts and receive AI-generated responses directly within the chat interface.

The bot is triggered by new messages received on a Telegram channel or bot, which are then processed by the AI Agent and sent to the OpenAI Chat Model to generate a response. The response is then sent back to the user, with emojis added for a more engaging experience. This solution provides an easy way for users to leverage the power of GPT-3.5 through a familiar Telegram chat interface.
