How to make a FREE Telegram bot for answering customers?

[zamlamonia]

I need help creating a Telegram bot for my business to handle customers. I need it to be totally free.

I want the bot to be able to:

1. Receive messages from customers.
2. Explain my products to them.
3. Guide them step-by-step (ask them questions and give answers based on what they say).

Does anyone know which tool I should use? I'm looking for the best method to set this up without paying for a subscription.

Any advice or tutorials would be great!

Try Botpress. bot builder that runs logical flows and can handle guided conversations easily
You can run it:

• On your local computer
• On a free server (like Render Free tier / Railway Free tier)

Or AI dew tools like Make could do everything what you want to create.

Upload and run your code in VPS.

Easy setup with botfather + AI + vps

You will need a small monthly investment for a VPS here to run the automation.
It will involve either a lot of IF and ELSE IF rules, like a Tree of decisions > User asks a question > you answer a generic answer, and provide a list of options ("questions") with built-in answers.
If you want to add an AI into that and spare that Logic part, you will need to pay even more for tokens; it's not too much.
It can be done with ChatGPT pretty easily.
