Pokitoki is a versatile Telegram AI assistant designed for both personal and group chats, leveraging OpenAI-compatible large language models. It offers features like external link access, custom commands, image generation, and on-the-fly configuration, aiming to provide a powerful and adaptable AI interaction experience within Telegram.

How It Works

Pokitoki integrates with various OpenAI-compatible LLM providers, including OpenAI, OpenRouter, Nebius, and Gemini. It enhances standard LLM interactions by fetching external web content (text, code) to provide contextually relevant answers, overcoming the limitations of models that cannot access live URLs. The bot supports direct questions, replies, mentions, and message editing for follow-ups, with configurable memory depth and custom prompts for tailored interactions.
