5. Automatic retry - The bot retries automatically in case of OpenAI API or Telegram API errors.
6. Persistent and forkable chat history - Chat logs are stored in a database, allowing users to reply to historical messages anytime.
7. Message queueing - Replies to generating messages are added to a processing queue.

Usage

1. Obtain an OpenAI API key from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
2. Create a Telegram bot by using BotFather via https://t.me/BotFather
3. Set OpenAI API key and Telegram Bot Token in the docker-compose.yml file.
4. In the main.py file, specify the Telegram admin user ID (you can send /ping to your bot to obtain your user ID) and the prompt text.
5. If you want to use the bot in a group, you must disable privacy mode in the bot settings.
6. Run docker-compose up --build -d
7. You can interact with your bot by initiating a new conversation with a message that starts with $. For example, you can type $Hello. By default, the bot uses the GPT-4 model. To switch to the GPT-3.5-Turbo model, simply start the message with $$.
8. To continue a conversation thread, reply to a previous message sent by the bot.
9. You can reply multiple times to the same message to "fork" the thread.
10. In a group, only the bot admin can use the /add_whitelist command to whitelist the group. To remove the group from the whitelist, the admin can use the /del_whitelist command.
11. Finally, in a private chat with the bot, you can use the /get_whitelist command to get a list of all whitelisted groups.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the ChatGPT Telegram bot for your needs.
