How It Works

This project introduces a personal AI assistant that runs directly within Telegram. Angie helps streamline daily tasks by summarizing emails, checking calendar entries, reminding you of upcoming to-dos, and retrieving saved contacts. Users can interact with Angie seamlessly via voice or text messages.

Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Telegram Trigger

   • The automation begins with a Telegram trigger that listens for new incoming messages.

   • If the input is voice, the file is automatically transcribed into text using OpenAI Speech-to-Text.

   • If the input is text, it is processed directly.

    

2. AI Assistant (Angie)

   • The user’s request is passed to Angie, who interprets the intent and decides which tools to use.

    

3. Tool Integrations

   • Email Retrieval: Connects with the Gmail API to fetch recent emails filtered by date.

   • Calendar Lookup: Pulls upcoming events or specific entries from Google Calendar.

   • Task Manager: Links to a Baserow database (open-source Airtable alternative) to display and manage to-dos.

   • Contacts: Uses the same Baserow integration to fetch and display saved contact details.

    

4. Response Generation

   • Angie compiles the requested information into a clear response.

   • The answer is sent back to the user on Telegram, either as text or read aloud via voice message.
