Grant the admin permission to the InvtAI Telegram bot.

#### Step 3. Interact with the bot

To query the bot in your group or Discord, use ‘@’ or type ‘q: ‘ followed by your question.

***But how about tailoring the bot to your community and project? If you want the bot to answer project-specific questions and auto-engage, you need to sign up, register the Telegram channel on our platform, and supply training data.***
