This repository contains a Telegram bot that utilizes the Generative AI API to respond to user messages with creative and contextually relevant content. The bot employs the telebot library for Telegram communication and the google.generativeai (palm)library (Bard Ai from Google) for AI-powered responses.

To deploy and use the Bard AI Telegram Bot, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ghaiith/bard-ai-telegram-bot.git
   cd bard-ai-telegram-bot

2. Install the required dependencies. You can use a virtual environment to keep your dependencies isolated:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Obtain the necessary API keys:

   • If you don't have a Telegram bot, you can create one by talking to the BotFather on Telegram. Follow these steps:

   • Open Telegram and search for "BotFather."

   • Start a chat with BotFather and use the /newbot command.

   • BotFather will ask for a name for your bot. Choose a name for your SheinBot (e.g., "MyChatbot").

   • BotFather will then ask for a username for your bot. The username must end with "bot" (e.g., "MyChatai_bot").

   • Once your bot is created, BotFather will provide you with a bot token. Save this token; you will need it later.

   • Generative AI API Key: You need an API key from the Generative AI service. Sign up and acquire an API key by following the instructions on the Generative AI Website.

4. Configure the Bot:

   Open the main.py file and replace the placeholders with your actual Telegram bot token and Generative AI API key:

   TOKEN = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN'
   palm.configure(api_key="YOUR_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY")

5. Run the Bot:

   Start the bot by running the following command:

   python main.py

6. Interact with the Bot:

   Send messages to your Telegram bot, and it will respond with creative content generated by the Generative AI model.

• Responds to /start, /help, and /hello commands with a welcome message.
• Handles user messages by generating contextually relevant responses using the Generative AI model.
• Provides feedback to users when they send an empty message.
• Incorporates default parameters for the Generative AI model, which can be adjusted based on your preferences.
