Telegram Personal Assistant with Long-Term Memory & Note-Taking
This n8n workflow transforms your Telegram bot into a powerful personal assistant that handles voice, photo, and text messages. The assistant uses AI to interpret messages, save important details as long-term memories or notes in a Baserow database, and recall information for future interactions.
🌟 How It Works
Message Reception & Routing
Telegram Integration: The workflow is triggered by incoming messages on your Telegram bot.
Dynamic Routing: A switch node inspects the message to determine whether it's voice, text, or photo (with captions) and routes it for the appropriate processing.
Content Processing
Voice Messages: Audio files are retrieved and sent to an AI transcription node to convert spoken words into text.
Text Messages: Text is directly captured and prepared for analysis.
Photos: If an image is received, the bot fetches the file (and caption, if provided) and uses an AI-powered image analysis node to extract relevant details.
AI-Powered Agent & Memory Management
The core AI agent (powered by GPT-4o-mini) processes the incoming message along with any previous conversation history stored in PostgreSQL memory buffers.
Long-Term Memory: When a message contains personal or noteworthy information, the assistant uses a dedicated tool to save this data as a long-term memory in Baserow.
Note-Taking: For specific instructions or reminders, the assistant saves concise notes in a separate Baserow table.
The AI agent follows defined rules to decide which details are saved as memories and which are saved as notes.
Response Generation
After processing the message and updating memory/notes as needed, the AI agent crafts a contextual and personalized response.
The response is sent back to the user via Telegram, ensuring smooth and natural conversation flow.

🔧 Setup Guide
Telegram Bot Setup:
Create your bot via BotFather and obtain the Bot Token.
Configure the Telegram webhook in n8n with your bot's token and URL.
Baserow Database Configuration:
Memory Table:
Create a workspace titled "Memories and Notes".
Set up a table (e.g., "Memory Table") with at least two fields:
Memory (long text)
Date Added (US date format with time)
Notes Table:
Duplicate the Memory Table and rename it to "Notes Table".
Change the first field's name from "Memory" to "Notes".
n8n Workflow Import & Configuration:
Import the workflow JSON into your n8n instance.
Update credentials for Telegram, Baserow, OpenAI, and PostgreSQL (for memory buffering) as needed.
Adjust node settings if you need to customize AI agent prompts or memory management rules.
Testing & Deployment:
Test your bot by sending various message types (text, voice, photo) to confirm that the workflow processes them correctly, updates Baserow, and returns the appropriate response.
Monitor logs to ensure that memory and note entries are correctly stored and retrieved.
✨ Example Interactions
Voice Message Processing:**
User sends a voice note requesting a reminder.
Bot Response: "Thanks for your message! I've noted your reminder and saved it for future reference."
Photo with Caption:**
User sends a photo with the caption "Save this recipe for dinner ideas."
Bot Response: "Got it! I've saved this recipe along with the caption for you."
Text Message for Memory Saving:**
User: "I love hiking on weekends."
Bot Response: "Noted! I’ll remember your interest in hiking."
Retrieving Information:**
User asks: "What notes do I have?"
Bot Response: "Here are your latest notes: [list of saved notes]."
