General Telegram Bot with OpenAI Integration

This is a customizable Telegram bot built using the python-telegram-bot library and integrated with OpenAI's GPT-4 for intelligent product consultations. It includes features like forced channel membership checks, inline and persistent keyboards, admin notifications for consultation requests, and AI-powered responses.

Features

• Forced Channel Join: Users must join a specified channel to interact with the bot.
• Inline Buttons: Quick links to view products or request phone consultations.
• Persistent Keyboard: Always-visible buttons for consultations, products, and help.
• Admin Notifications: Forwards user contact details to an admin for phone consultations.
• AI Consultation: Uses OpenAI to provide personalized product recommendations based on user queries.
• Logging: Basic logging for errors and info to aid debugging.
• Error Handling: Improved try-except blocks to handle API failures gracefully.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
• Install dependencies: pip install python-telegram-bot openai

Setup

1. Tokens and IDs:

   • Replace TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN with your bot token from BotFather.
   • Replace OPENAI_API_KEY with your OpenAI API key.
   • Set ADMIN_ID to your Telegram user ID (for receiving notifications).
   • Set FORCE_JOIN_CHANNEL to your channel username (e.g., @my_channel).

2. Customization:

   • Update URLs in buttons and messages to point to your website or channel.
   • Modify the OpenAI system prompt to fit your product domain (e.g., laptops, gadgets).
   • Add more handlers or buttons as needed for expansion.

3. Running the Bot:

   python your_bot_script.py

   The bot will start polling and log "✅ Bot is running."

Expansion Ideas

• Database Integration: Add SQLite or MongoDB to store user queries or consultation logs.
• More Commands: Implement /help, /products, or custom commands.
• Rate Limiting: Prevent spam by limiting API calls per user.
• Multi-Language Support: Detect user language and respond accordingly.
• Webhooks: Switch from polling to webhooks for production deployment.

Notes

• This bot is designed to be general-purpose. Adapt the AI prompt and buttons for any e-commerce or consultation service.
• Ensure compliance with Telegram's and OpenAI's terms of service.
• For production, use environment variables for sensitive keys (e.g., via os.getenv).
