Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:
1. Find BotFather:
Open the Telegram app and search for "@BotFather" in the search bar. You'll see a bot with a robot icon next to its name.
2. Start a Conversation:
Tap on "@BotFather" to initiate a chat. Once the chat window opens, type "/newbot" (without quotes) and press send.
3. Name Your Bot:
BotFather will ask you to choose a name for your bot. This is the name users will see when interacting with your bot. Choose a descriptive and memorable name.
4. Set a Username:
Next, BotFather will request a username for your bot. This username will be used to mention and identify your bot in chats (e.g., "@YourBotName"). Keep it short, unique, and easy to remember (must end in "bot").
5. Congratulations!
BotFather will confirm your bot's creation and provide you with a unique access token. This token is essential for connecting your bot to SociumAI and start your own ChatBot. Keep this token secure, don't share it publicly.
