Overview

Personal AI Assistant on Telegram

Who It’s For:

  • This workflow is designed for developers, founders, community managers, and automation enthusiasts who want to bring a personal AI assistant directly into their Telegram chat.
  • It lets users interact naturally—either through text or voice messages—and get instant, AI-powered replies without switching apps or opening dashboards.

⚡ What It Does / How It Works

📥 Message Trigger: A Telegram Trigger node listens for incoming messages. 🧭 Smart Routing: A Switch node decides if the user sent a text or voice message. 🗣️ Voice to Text: If it’s voice, the workflow uses OpenAI Whisper Transcription to convert it into text. 🧠 AI Processing: The text is passed to an AI Agent powered by GPT-4.1-mini to understand intent and craft a response. 💬 Reply: The bot sends a clean, structured, and polite answer back to the user on Telegram. 🧠 Memory: A buffer memory node keeps short-term conversation history for a more contextual, human-like experience.

🧰 How to Set It Up:

  1. Telegram Integration
  • Create a bot via @BotFather on Telegram.
  • https://telegram.me/BotFather
  • Add your Telegram API Key to n8n credentials.
  • Connect the Telegram Trigger and Send a Message nodes.
  1. OpenAI Setup
  1. Workflow Logic
  • Use the Switch node to detect message type (text or voice).
