Adding a custom trained ChatGPT (or Claude 3.5) AI support agent to your Telegram account or groups makes it easy to offer 24/7 support to your customers. To get started you will need to create a bot on Telegram so you can grab the bot token and use that to connect your SiteSpeakAI AI support agent to Telegram. Don’t worry, this is very easy and not technical at all. Obtaining a token is as simple as contacting @BotFather, issuing the /newbot command and following the steps until you’re given a new token.

The only one we’re interested in is the /newbot command for now. CleanShot 2024-08-02 at 11.39.41@2x.png Enter a name for your bot, as well as a username. Make sure you use something that represents your business or AI support agent since this is what your visitors will see.

You’ll also need the Telegram link to your bot which will be in the format of: t.me/your_bot_username. You’ll use this to start chatting to your bot in Telegram. Now head over to SiteSpeakAI to connect your customer support AI support agent to your Telegram bot. After selecting your AI support agent in SiteSpeakAI, go to Install Agent -> Telegram and enter the bot token you got from @BotFather.

Issue the /mybots command, then select the bot you want to add to your group chat. Then select Bot Settings -> Group Privacy and Turn off privacy.
