EasyAIBuddy - AI Telegram Bot

EasyAIBuddy is a Telegram bot that leverages the capabilities of Google's generative AI (Gemini-1.5-flash) to interact with users. It provides predefined responses to specific queries and can handle general questions using AI.

Features

• Responds to specific predefined queries.
• Uses Google's generative AI model to provide responses to general questions.
• Simple and user-friendly interface.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Telegram Bot API Key
• Google Generative AI API Key

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/EasyAIBuddy.git
   cd EasyAIBuddy

2. Set up a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv myenv
   source myenv/bin/activate  # On Windows: myenv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   If requirements.txt is not available, you can manually install the required packages:

   pip install pyTelegramBotAPI google-generativeai

Configuration

1. Set up your environment variables:

   • GEMINI_API_AI_KEY: Your Google Generative AI API key.
   • BOT_API: Your Telegram Bot API key.

   You can set these in your terminal session:

   export GEMINI_API_AI_KEY='your_google_ai_key'
   export BOT_API='your_telegram_bot_api_key'

   On Windows, use:

   set GEMINI_API_AI_KEY=your_google_ai_key
   set BOT_API=your_telegram_bot_api_key

2. Create key.py: Ensure you have a key.py file in the same directory with the following content:

   GEMINI_API_AI_KEY = 'your_google_ai_key'
   BOT_API = 'your_telegram_bot_api_key'

Running the Bot

Run the script:

python bot.py

This will start the Telegram bot. You should see Bot Started in your terminal, indicating that the bot is up and running.

Bot Functionality

• Start Command: When a user sends /start, the bot replies with:

Hello, Welcome to EasyAIBuddy

• General Queries: The bot can respond to general queries using the generative AI model. If the query matches a predefined response, it will use that; otherwise, it will generate a response using the AI model.

Code Explanation

Imports and Configuration

from key import *
import telebot
import google.generativeai as genai

genai.configure(api_key=GEMINI_API_AI_KEY)

Generative Model Configuration

generation_config = {
    "temperature": 1,
    "top_p": 0.95,
    "top_k": 64,
    "max_output_tokens": 8192,
    "response_mime_type": "text/plain",
}

model = genai.GenerativeModel(
    model_name="gemini-1.5-flash",
    generation_config=generation_config,
)

Chat Session Initialization

chat_session = model.start_chat(history=[
    {
        "role": "user",
        "parts": ["what is your name"],
    },
    {
        "role": "model",
        "parts": [
            "I am your Easy AI Buddy. I am here to help you...\nFeel free to ask anything.",
        ],
    },
])

predefined_responses = {
    "what is your name": "I am your Easy AI Buddy. I am here to help you... Feel free to ask anything.",
}

Bot Initialization and Handlers

bot = telebot.TeleBot(BOT_API)

@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def start(message):
    bot.reply_to(message, "Hello, Welcome to EasyAIBuddy")

@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
def chatmessage(message):
    try:
        if message.text in predefined_responses:
            reply = predefined_responses[message.text]
        else:
            response = chat_session.send_message(message.text)
            reply = response.text
        bot.reply_to(message, reply)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        bot.reply_to(message, f"Sorry, an error occurred. Please try again later.\nError: {str(e)}")

print("Bot Started")
bot.infinity_polling()

Troubleshooting

• No module named 'telebot': Ensure that pyTelegramBotAPI is installed in your current environment.
• Environment Variables Not Set: Make sure to set GEMINI_API_AI_KEY and BOT_API correctly in your terminal.
