Telegram News and Chat Bot with ChatGPT - Rava v2

Welcome to the Telegram News and Chat Bot repository! This Python-based Telegram bot is designed to provide users with the latest tech news, country-specific news, and international headlines. Additionally, it can engage in casual conversation when not responding to specific commands, thanks to the integration of ChatGPT.

Getting Started

• Python 3.x
• python-telegram-bot library
• OpenAI GPT-3 API key (for ChatGPT integration)
