Open the group in @UC_PR_bot
Choose the Telegram group first. The JSON does not contain a group id, so the bot cannot apply settings to another chat.
AI setup for one group
How to set up a Telegram bot with AI
This guide is for UC PR Bot. Describe how posting access should work. The assistant returns JSON. The bot shows a summary and changes nothing before Apply.
Copy the instruction
In the group menu tap Set up with AI, then Copy the instruction. The bot sends a file named ucprbot-ai-prompt.txt.
Give it to any capable AI
Attach the file or paste its contents into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek or another assistant that can return JSON. Then describe the group in ordinary words.
Screenshots show the English bot interface. The bot's full menu and all member notifications are also available in English.
4. Send JSON back to the bot
The reply must be a JSON object with schema ucprbot.settings.v1. Send that text or a .json file. If the answer is too long for a Telegram message, send a file.
5. Review and apply
The bot shows what will change. Nothing is saved until you tap Apply. Unknown fields, extra code and settings for another group are rejected.
Which AI tools can prepare the settings
Any assistant that accepts a text instruction and can return JSON is enough. You do not give it the bot token or Telegram access. The bot still checks every field.
ChatGPTPaste the instruction, describe the group, ask for JSON only.ClaudeWorks well with the attached instruction file and a short group description.GeminiUse it when you already work in Google. Ask it to return JSON without commentary.DeepSeekA practical free option. Attach the file or paste the instruction in full.
What to tell the assistant
Channel subscription only
Require a subscription to @mychannel before posting. Keep anti-spam on. Do not require additions.
Add one person
A member may post after adding one friend by hand. Watch that the added person stays for 3 days. Joining by a link does not count.
Both conditions, English notices
Require the channel subscription and one add. Show member notices in English and delete them after 5 minutes.
What the JSON can set
- Free: Up to three public channels or groups, named by @username or t.me link.
- Four access rules: subscription only, additions only, both, or either one.
- Free: Add a member count 0, 1, 2 or 3. Only people added by hand count.
- Add a member watch is how long the added member must stay. Access still opens immediately.
- Group notice language, anti-spam, notice lifetime and custom condition text up to 200 characters.
- The assistant cannot grant administrator rights or add the bot to channels for you.
Technical schema
Machine-readable fields stay in English. If a field is omitted, an existing group keeps its current value. Open ai-settings.v1.json.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work with any Telegram bot?
No. The instruction, JSON schema and Apply button belong to UC PR Bot.
Can I paste a plain-language description into the bot?
No. The bot reads JSON text or a .json file. Describe the group to the AI, then send its JSON here.
What if the JSON is too long for a Telegram message?
Send a .json file. That is the safer path when the assistant returns a full settings object.
Will the bot change settings before I confirm?
No. The preview is only a draft. Apply saves it. Cancel leaves the group unchanged.
Can I still set everything with buttons?
Yes. Use the ordinary setup guide if you prefer taps over JSON.
Describe the group, then confirm in Telegram
Open @UC_PR_bot, copy the instruction, send the JSON back and tap Apply only after the summary looks right.
