Turn your expertise or course into a 24/7 AI assistant in Telegram
If you teach, consult or coach, you answer the same questions again and again: where's the recording of lesson 3, how do I apply step 2 to my case, what did you say about pricing objections? The answers already exist — in your slides, workbooks, webinar recordings and old chat replies. An AI assistant built on your materials can give them instantly, at 2 a.m., in the Telegram chat your audience already uses.
Why Telegram first
Your students and clients are already in Telegram: course chats, your channel, private messages. A bot there needs no new app, no login and no link to remember — they just write to it. It's also the fastest channel to set up: one token from @BotFather and you're live.
What to put in the knowledge base
Think of it as everything you'd hand a brilliant new assistant on their first day:
| Material | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Course modules, workbooks, slide decks (PDF, DOCX) | The core of your methodology |
| Webinar, lecture and Q&A recordings (MP3, MP4, M4A…) | Transcribed automatically — often your best explanations are spoken, not written |
| FAQ and your best replies from chats | The exact questions people really ask |
| Program terms: schedule, prices, access rules | So logistics questions stop reaching you |
Recordings are billed at 5 credits per minute and shown as an estimate before you upload — see Add audio and video.
Make it sound like you
In the agent's instructions, describe your style and boundaries. For example:
You are the assistant of the "Confident Negotiation" course. Answer like the author: warm, direct, with a practical example. Answer only from the course materials. If a question needs personal coaching, suggest booking a session at example.com/call.
Instructions shape tone and limits; the facts still come from your materials. If an answer is wrong or missing, the fix is almost always adding or clarifying a document.
Ideas that work well
- Course companion. Students ask "how does the framework from module 4 apply to…" and get an answer grounded in the lesson itself.
- Pre-sales assistant. Prospective clients learn about your program, format and prices before they ever book a call.
- Your back catalogue, searchable. Years of webinars become something people can actually ask questions to, instead of hours of video nobody rewatches.
Keep control
Every conversation is saved under Contacts, so you can read what people ask, spot gaps in your materials — and discover questions worth turning into your next post or lesson. You can switch the AI model at any time without rebuilding the knowledge base.
