chatgpt_telegram_bot

Why we included this project

For anyone who lives in Telegram, this is a cleaner way to use GPT and Claude than keeping a browser tab open. The bot streams answers word by word and usually replies within a few seconds, and since it runs on your own API keys there are no daily message caps, you just pay your provider directly. It also handles images (send a photo and a vision-capable model reads it), image generation, voice notes transcribed by Whisper, and a handful of ready-made chat personas you can extend by editing a YAML file. Group chat support and access control make it practical for a small team, and the Python codebase with Docker config means you can run your own instance with a couple of commands.
