Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

The bot uses SQLModel for type-safe database operations with automatic schema migration:

class ConversationTurn(SQLModel, table=True):
    id: int | None = Field(default=None, primary_key=True)
    chat_id: int = Field(index=True)
    user_message: str
    assistant_replies: list[str] = Field(default_factory=list, sa_type=JSON)
    timestamp: datetime = Field(default_factory=datetime.now, index=True)

The AI agent includes two core tools for conversation management:

get_chat_history - Advanced search with keyword filtering, time ranges, and turn-based indexing
reply_to_user - Telegram message delivery with MarkdownV2 formatting support
