AI Telegram Bot

Overview

Built two versions of an AI-powered Telegram bot — one using OpenAI GPT-3.5 and another using Google Gemini. Both handle real-time conversational AI in public Telegram groups, deployed as Netlify serverless functions for zero-cost hosting.

Responsibilities

• Integrated OpenAI and Gemini APIs with Telegram Bot API via TelegrafJS.
• Implemented configurable group filtering so the bot only responds in specified Telegram groups.
• Deployed as serverless functions on Netlify for lightweight, always-on hosting.

Technical Highlights

• Two separate implementations comparing OpenAI vs Gemini API workflows.
• Serverless deployment keeping operational cost at zero.
• Configurable per-group response behavior.

Outcomes

• Delivered a complete telegram bot experience that can be explored through the published project links.
• Created a project that demonstrates applied engineering work rather than only isolated technical experiments.
