AI Book Bot — Intelligent Assistant for Reading, Analysis, and Discussion

Task

Create a smart Telegram-based chatbot that allows the user not just to read a book, but to interact with its content — get chapter summaries, discuss concepts, ask questions, and take quizzes based on the material.

Solution

An AI bot was developed using OpenAI and a custom vector database (Postgres + embeddings). The bot has three core modes:

Chapter and section summaries

The user selects a section or chapter from a menu or writes a free-form request (e.g., “Give me a brief summary of chapter two”).
Three detail levels are available: short, medium, and detailed.
Each answer includes the page numbers referenced so the user can check the original text.

Interactive discussions and debates

The bot can discuss the book’s ideas and concepts in dialogue form.
The user chooses the debate style: “devil’s advocate,” “skeptic,” or “neutral opponent.”
The bot presents arguments, quotes, and page references, creating a full-scale intellectual discussion.

Q&A mode

The user asks any questions about the book’s content.
The bot responds with explanations, quotes, sources, and links to specific chapters and pages.

Quizzes and practice tasks

Built-in tests and exercises help assess the user’s understanding of key concepts.
After each quiz, the bot provides a score and recommendations on what to reread.

Technical Implementation

Platform: Telegram + OpenAI API (ChatGPT).
Architecture: N8N + PostgreSQL with vector embeddings for semantic search.
Features: intelligent navigation through the book, context detection, vector search, and conversational memory.

Results

A unique “smart reading” format was created — a book you can converse and argue with.
Users get fast summaries, deeper conceptual understanding, and instant feedback.
Reading becomes more engaging: the bot turns the process into interactive learning.
