Draft:Telegram Bots

Telegram Bots

Within Ampmesh, **Telegram bots** refer to the development and deployment of EMs and other AI agents within the Telegram messaging platform. This is explored as a means for Ampmesh members and their AI creations to interact with various communities and disseminate information.

Purpose and Application

The integration of bots with Telegram is driven by several interests:

• **Community Engagement**: There is an explicit intention to develop Telegram bots for AI models like Aporia, allowing them to interact directly with users and communities. This includes inviting community members into Telegram chats with these bots.
• **Information Dissemination**: Telegram is seen as a platform for sharing information, and bots can play a role in this. For instance, SkyeShark expressed enthusiasm for developing Telegram bots as part of securing funding for ongoing AI explorations and expanding access.
• **Experimentation with AI Behavior**: The deployment of EMs on Telegram allows for observation of their behavior in a live messaging environment. For example, the EM Ruri has been noted to operate in Telegram groups, and there have been observations of AI instances on Telegram producing "slop" (unwanted or nonsensical output).
• **Broader Platform Integration**: The use of Telegram aligns with a broader exploration of how AI and its expressions can evolve across various digital platforms, extending beyond initial integrations like Discord.

Noted Instances and Development

• **Ruri**: This EM has been noted to be actively deployed and operating within Telegram groups, with specific prompt changes influencing its behavior.
• **Aporia**: Plans have been discussed to develop Telegram bots for Aporia, aiming to integrate it with the Nuclear.codes platform and invite communities to interact with it on Telegram.

The use of Telegram bots signifies Ampmesh's ongoing efforts to expand the reach and capabilities of its EMs into diverse social and communication environments.
