How to use ChatGPT in Telegram
Miscellaneous / / April 02, 2023
All functions of the popular chatbot are now available in the messenger.
What is important to know before using ChatGPT in Telegram
Developers from the OpenAI company continue to develop their most popular project, the ChatGPT chatbot. They improve the Large Language Model (LLM) that is used in this service.
OpenAI officially opened ChatGPT to access third party applications. With the help of the interface (API) released by them, enthusiasts and professional developers can now connect with their programs and use the capabilities of the neural network in them. At the moment, access at the API level is available to the latest LLM models - GPT‑3.5‑turbo and GPT‑4.
Craftsmen have already used older versions of the neural network to develop their Telegram bots. Now you can upgrade the algorithms to more advanced ones, which many have already done.
Bots based on ChatGPT in the messenger allow you to make requests faster through a familiar interface. In addition, this “communication” format helps some users avoid problems with registering an account on the OpenAI website.
But there is a limitation: access to the system is not free, developers of third-party applications must pay for the processing of requests by the neural network. Therefore, in most Telegram bots, you will have to subscribe or buy additional tokens after the free amount of data provided for work ends.
In some bots, the limit is updated every day, once a week or a month, so you can do without payment, but you can only ask 15-20 questions. The amount depends on the volume of the entered text and the complexity of processing. For example, free tokens run out faster in a meaningful dialogue mode with previous answers saved in the bot's memory.
What Telegram bots based on ChatGPT you can try
The number of Telegram bots based on ChatGPT is likely to exceed hundreds in the future, but so far there are not so many of them. The set of features is almost the same in most cases. The interface for entering commands may differ, as well as additional functions that are not directly related to ChatGPT, but are useful in operation.
The following bots can be used to receive responses from ChatGPT:
- ChatGPTBot — 20,000 free tokens per day, you can buy them for about 0.5 rubles per 1,000 tokens.
- ChatGPT 💎 — 10,000 free tokens per day, unlimited subscription for 299 rubles per month.
- GPT Chatbot | neural network — 20,000 free tokens per week, unlimited subscription for 95 rubles per month.
- ChatGPT Bot — 50,000 free tokens per week, unlimited subscription for 499 rubles per month.
- 💎 ChatGPT | Russian 💎 - available for free, you can donate from 49 to 3,000 rubles to the developer.
How to use ChatGPT in Telegram
Almost all bots will ask you to subscribe to groups created by their developers to get started. Usually these are channels with news about updates of specific bots, as well as a selection of events from the world neural networks. For the sake of free access and testing, you will have to take this step.
If you subscribe to a paid subscription, then the rest of the requirements are no longer necessary. The cost difference is not entirely clear. Most likely, the developers evaluate the number of requests from users, the speed of responses, as well as the work of additional functions, which we will discuss below.
The principle of working with ChatGPT through Telegram bots is no different from how it works on the official OpenAI website. You enter a request in the message field and send it to the virtual interlocutor, he answers immediately or after a short delay. The waiting time depends on the workload of the servers, as well as the complexity and length of the question.
1 / 0
After launch, bots usually send a list of basic commands, describe their capabilities and limitations. In this case, the commands are collected in a single menu, which is available by pressing the corresponding button.
2 / 0
Some bots will ask you to select a menu language, which you can switch later in their settings. Here ChatGPTBot additionally suggests specifying the version of the neural network model to work with
The quality of the responses is no different from what you can get directly on the site. You can ask questions in different languages, including Russian. Bots are pretty good at making sentences. At the same time, ChatGPT continues to make many logical and factual errors, so you should carefully consider the answers and double-check them.
In many Telegram bots, you can switch operating modes through commands from the menu. This can be a simplified version, a specialized one, as well as a dialogue with remembering previous questions.
The simplest mode is designed for short single requests, in this format fewer tokens are spent on responses. Dialogue with preservation of context is useful, for example, for discussing complex topics or making plans. But, as mentioned above, bots spend more resources on maintaining a common thread of conversation.
In specialized mode, some bots are able to provide images on demand, that is, they are connected not only to ChatGPT, but also to neural networks to generate images. For example, good options can be obtained using ChatGPTBot.
Another variant of specialized mode is sometimes called "developer", in which case it is for code generation. Although sometimes writing programs or solving mathematical problems is not distinguished as a separate ability. It depends on how the authors of a particular Telegram bot implemented data exchange with ChatGPT.
Among the bots with additional features, it also turned out to be interesting 💎 ChatGPT | Russian 💎. A speech synthesizer is connected to it, with which you can voice texts generated in Russian. In addition, the service supports voice input. A good option for voice acting articles or small audiobooks.
At the moment, the most profitable option would be to use several Telegram bots at the same time in order to bypass the limit on the number of requests. In addition, you may find it useful to combine additional features in working with images and voice acting.
