Chatbot creating locally with the required tools and code



Creating a chatbot locally involves building a basic chatbot using a programming language like Python and running it on your computer. Here's a simple example of a chatbot using Python and the python-telegram-bot library for Telegram. This will allow you to interact with the chatbot through a Telegram bot. To run this locally, you need to have Python installed on your machine and a Telegram account.

Step 1: Set Up a Telegram Bot

1. Open the Telegram app and search for the "BotFather" user.
2. Start a chat with BotFather and send the command `/newbot` to create a new bot.
3. Follow the prompts to choose a name and username for your bot.
4. Once the bot is created, BotFather will provide you with an API token. Save this token; you'll need it in the code.

Step 2: Install the Required Libraries

In your terminal, install the `python-telegram-bot` library:

'bash' command: 

pip install python-telegram-bot

Step 3: Create the Chatbot Code

Here's a simple Python script for a basic chatbot:

import logging
from telegram import Update
from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler, MessageHandler, Filters, ConversationHandler, CallbackContext

# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s', level=logging.INFO)

# Define states
MENU, ECHO = range(2)

# Start command
def start(update: Update, context: CallbackContext) -> int:
user = update.effective_user
update.message.reply_markdown_v2(
fr'Hi {user.mention_markdown_v2()}\!',
reply_markup=markup,
)

return MENU

# Echo command
def echo(update: Update, context: CallbackContext) -> int:
text = update.message.text
update.message.reply_text(text)
return MENU

# Main function
def main() -> None:
# Create the Updater and pass in your bot's token
updater = Updater("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

# Get the dispatcher to register handlers
dispatcher = updater.dispatcher

# Define a conversation handler with a command that starts it
conversation_handler = ConversationHandler(
entry_points=[CommandHandler('start', start)],
states={
MENU: [MessageHandler(Filters.text & ~Filters.command, echo)],
},
fallbacks=[],
)

dispatcher.add_handler(conversation_handler)

# Start the Bot
updater.start_polling()

# Run the bot until you send a signal to stop it
updater.idle()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Step 4: Replace "YOUR_API_TOKEN"

Replace "YOUR_API_TOKEN" in the code with the API token you received from BotFather.

Step 5: Run the Chatbot Locally

Save the Python script and run it. Your chatbot should be available on Telegram. Start a chat with your bot, and it will respond to messages with the same text you send to it.

Remember that this is a basic example, and you can extend the functionality of your chatbot by adding more commands and logic as needed. flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=80


Your web application will be accessible on the Compute Engine's IP address or domain name. Users can upload files, and they will be stored in Cloud Storage,
