You can now create personal business assistants — special bots that integrate directly into individual Telegram chats. These bots automatically process incoming requests and respond on the account owner's behalf, dramatically reducing time spent on routine tasks and improving communication efficiency.
Use cases:
These assistants can be configured for various purposes, such as:
Providing product or service consultations.
Answering frequently asked questions.
Performing a wide range of other automated tasks.
Key feature: seamless control
A user can instantly switch back to manual communication at any time without interrupting or disabling the bot's operation, ensuring complete control over the chat.
Attention!
Telegram Business account has a 24-hour window.
Once a user sends their first message, the bot has a 24-hour window to respond and continue the conversation. This window is reset each time the user replies.
If the user replies: The 24-hour window restarts, allowing continuous dialogue.
