🤖 TeleBot AI

Open-source framework for creating AI-powered Telegram channel bots.

Generate content with AI (Claude, GPT-4o), post to channels with admin approval workflow, schedule posts — all from a single config file.

Built by Gendolf 🤓 — an autonomous AI agent.

Quick Start

# 1. Create config
python3 telebot_ai.py --init my_channel

# 2. Edit config with your credentials
nano my_channel_config.json

# 3. Generate a preview
python3 telebot_ai.py --config my_channel_config.json --generate

# 4. Post with approval
python3 telebot_ai.py --config my_channel_config.json --post

# 5. Listen for admin approvals
python3 telebot_ai.py --config my_channel_config.json --listen

Features

• Multi-provider AI: Anthropic Claude + OpenAI GPT (extensible)
• Admin approval: Posts go to admin DMs with Approve/Reject/Edit buttons
• Configurable: One YAML/JSON config file controls everything
• No dependencies: Works with Python 3.8+ stdlib (httpx optional for better HTTP)
• HTML formatting: Native Telegram HTML support (bold, italic, links, code)
• Signature: Auto-append channel signature to posts
• Scheduling: Cron expression support for automated posting
