Updates
The assistant now copes better with the way people actually write in Telegram.
What shipped
- Several quick messages, one answer. If a guest splits a question over a few messages, the bot waits a moment and answers them together.
- Emoji and stickers. A message of only emoji or a sticker gets one short How can I help?, then the bot stays quiet on more emoji until the guest writes words. A single 👍 still counts as an answer, for example to a question that needs a yes.
- Photos, voice messages, videos, and files. The bot says it reads only text and asks the guest to type the question. An album of photos gets one such reply, not one per photo.
- Floods. One letter per message, or a stream of messages, gets a polite request to send one question.
- Delivery. If Telegram is briefly unavailable, the reply is sent again instead of being lost.
These replies come in the guest’s language: English, Russian, Ukrainian, or Polish. See Connect Telegram.
