🤖 AI Q&A Chatbot Workflow – Build Your Own AI Agent Trained on Private Documents

This powerful AI automation add-on upgrades your Telegram Bot Starter Template by integrating a fully functional AI chatbot and a context-aware AI agent that answers user questions using your internal documents.

Unlike generic bots, this chatbot uses your own data to respond with deeply personalized, context-relevant information — perfect for support , onboarding , internal knowledge access , and client-facing interactions.

It connects to any PostgreSQL database — including Neon.tech, Supabase, or a self-hosted Postgres setup — allowing you to build custom AI-powered FAQ assistants , internal support bots , or knowledge-based customer service tools.

🧠 Why It Works: Contextual Retrieval

The secret is Contextual Retrieval — a powerful technique where your documents are stored in a way that preserves meaning and context. This allows the AI to fetch highly relevant, source-backed responses , eliminating hallucinations and guesswork.

Data is embedded, chunked, and saved in a vector database (Postgres + PGVector), enabling smart semantic search tailored to your needs.
