What this workflow does

This intelligent Telegram automation workflow listens for incoming messages from users and processes them through multiple decision paths. When users send regular chat messages, the workflow automatically generates contextual responses using the OpenAI API and delivers them back through Telegram.

The workflow includes smart command recognition that handles unsupported requests with appropriate error messages, plus realistic typing simulation to enhance user experience.
