Building Your Aisista AI Telegram Chatbot: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating your intelligent Telegram bot with Aisista is designed to be intuitive and code-free. Here's how:

Step 1: Define Your Business & Train Your AI

The first and most crucial step is to teach your AI about your business. Aisista provides a dedicated section for this:

  1. Business Name & Category: Start by giving your business a name and selecting its category. This helps the AI understand the general context of your operations.
  2. Business Summary: Provide a concise, 300-character summary of your business. Think of this as your AI's elevator pitch – a quick overview of what you do.
  3. Detailed Business Facts: This is where the magic happens. In a larger text area (up to 5000 characters), input all the essential information your AI needs to know. This includes:
    • FAQs: Common questions and their answers.
    • Policies: Return policies, shipping information, privacy policy.
    • Operating Hours: When your business is open.
    • Services/Products: Detailed descriptions, features, and benefits.
    • Any other specific knowledge: The more comprehensive your input, the smarter and more accurate your AI will be.

Pro Tip: Use bullet points and clear, concise language to make it easy for the AI to process and recall information.

Step 2: Populate Your Product Catalog (Optional, but Highly Recommended)

For businesses selling products or services, integrating your catalog directly into Aisista significantly enhances your chatbot's capabilities:

  1. Navigate to the 'Products' section.
  2. Click 'Add Product' to input details like product name, description, stock count, and even upload images. This allows your AI to provide rich, visual information and answer specific product-related questions, driving sales directly through Telegram.

Step 3: Connect Your AI to Telegram

Once your AI is trained and your products are loaded, it's time to deploy it to Telegram:

  1. Go to the 'Connect' page within your Aisista dashboard.
  2. Locate the 'Connect to Telegram/Bale' card.
  3. You'll need a bot token from Telegram. If you don't have one, you can easily create a new bot via Telegram's BotFather (a simple process that takes minutes).
  4. Paste your Telegram bot token into the designated field in Aisista.
  5. Click 'Connect'. Aisista will validate the token and set up the necessary webhooks, instantly linking your AI to your Telegram bot.
