Telegram AI Chatbot

This project is a Telegram bot powered by a small AI model (e.g., microsoft/phi-2) to generate responses based on user inputs. The bot leverages Hugging Face's transformers library and runs on PyTorch.

Features

• 🚀 AI-powered chatbot using transformers
• 🤖 Handles text-based user interactions
• 🔄 Generates dynamic responses
• 📡 Runs on Telegram via python-telegram-bot

Installation

Ensure you have Python 3.8+ installed. Then, install dependencies:

pip install transformers torch python-telegram-bot

Alternatively, if using Poetry:

poetry install

Setup

1. Create a bot on Telegram using BotFather
2. Obtain your Telegram bot token
3. Add the token to the script (TOKEN = "your-bot-token")

Running the Bot

Run the bot locally:

poetry run python src/main.py

Or using Python directly:

python src/main.py

Configuration

Modify the AI model in main.py:

MODEL_NAME = "microsoft/phi-2"

You can replace it with another small model like:

"mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct"
"tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct"

Usage

Start a conversation by sending /start to the bot. Send any message, and the bot will reply with an AI-generated response.
