Mobile app development, machine learning, and internet development are all advancing quickly. As natural language processing technology develops quickly and customers demand in-depth responses from chatbots, more and more businesses are integrating their own Digital Assistants into their websites.

A Digital Assistant is a versatile automated assistant that can receive, deliver, and trigger messages. With kAIron, your Digital Assistant can save information as variables for future use. With the following step-by-step instructions, you can integrate your Digital Assistant with Telegram.

kAIron is a web-based microservices-driven package that makes it easy to build and scale contextual AI assistants. Through the provision of a no-coding internet interface for customizing, training, testing, and maintaining such assistants, it seeks to make the lives of those who deal with AI-helpers easier.

Open the Telegram web and log in with your existing account or one you can establish.

STEP 1: In the search bar, type @Botfather and select this bot.

Bots that are authorized by Telegram have a blue checkmark next to their name.

Click “Start” to activate BotFather bot.

In response, you receive a list of commands to manage bots.

STEP 2: Choose or type the /newbot command and send it.

STEP 3: Choose a name for your bot — your subscribers will see it in the conversation. And choose a username for your bot — the bot can be found by its username in searches. The username must be unique and end with the word “bot.”

Once your bot has been successfully created, You get a message with a token. This is your bot’s access token.

STEP 4: Re-direct to kAIron page and select the bot to be integrated.

Navigate to the Integration page and toggle on Telegram to Configure the Digital Assistant.

STEP 5: Paste the access token copied earlier with the bot’s username.
