I was looking around a different projects that integrate with ollama and saw one about a telgram bot. I rarely use telegram but it looks like fun, so lets go through and plug it in.

Setup the telegram bot.

https://core.telegram.org/bots#how-do-i-create-a-bot to create a bot. The short answer is you need to message the botfather.

Say /newbot.

Give it a name. Give it an account name. Save the API key. Save that stuff for later.

Find your user id

Go to the userinfobot and say /start to get your info.
