Framework for creating Telegram bots easily

GPTel

Framework to ease the writing of Telegram bots, using advance features like speach to text.

Example

from gptel import GPTelBot, BotContext, ReplyTyping, ReplyImage


bot = GPTelBot(
    name="TestBot",
    description="A bot to test GPTel framework",
    data_default={"flag": False},
)


@bot.command("start", "Starts the bot")
async def command_start(context: BotContext):
    yield rf"Hello {context.user_html}!"


@bot.command("help", "Print some help")
async def command_help(context: BotContext):
    yield r"Help!"


@bot.command("switch", "Switch flag")
async def command_switch(context: BotContext):
    # context.data is specific for current chat.
    context.data["flag"] = not context.data["flag"]
    yield r"Switch on!" if context.data["flag"] else r"Switch off!"


@bot.command("image", "Show an image")
async def command_image(context: BotContext):
    yield ReplyTyping()
    # ReplyImage only supports URL at the moment.
    yield ReplyImage("https://picsum.photos/300/300.jpg")


# This will handle both text chat and voice messages, that will be converted automatically
# to text using OpenAI's Whisper.
@bot.chat()
async def echo(context: BotContext, message: str):
    yield ReplyTyping()
    yield r"You said:"
    yield message
