This is a Python project that includes a script to schedule an event on a calendar via a bot on the Telegram platform.

The bot uses the GPT-3.5-turbo model from OpenAI to process natural language commands and convert them into JSON-based calendar event data. This data is then sent to a specific calendar using the Cronofy API.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

• Python 3.6+
• pip
• A Cronofy account for calendar management
• A Telegram account to setup the bot
• An OpenAI account for accessing the GPT-3.5-turbo model

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/qcanser/calendar-assist.git
   

2. Navigate into the cloned directory

   cd calendar-assist
   

3. Install the required packages

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Set up your environment variables. Create a .env file in the root directory of your project, and update it with your own credentials:

   ACCESS_TOKEN=<your cronofy access token>
   CLIENT_SECRET=<your cronofy client secret>
   CALENDAR_ID=<your cronofy calendar id>
   OPENAI_API=<your OpenAI api key>
   API_ID=<your telegram api id>
   API_HASH=<your telegram api hash>
   BOT_TOKEN=<your telegram bot token>
   ALLOWED_USER=<username of the user allowed to use the bot>
   

Run the Telegram bot with the following command:

python3 pybot.py

Once the bot is running, you can interact with it on Telegram.

• Use /start to initiate conversation with the bot.
• Use /schedule <event details> to schedule an event.

Example:

/schedule Schedule me a Board meeting in the Board room, describing Discuss plans for the next quarter, for July 16, from 21:30 to 23:00 (UTC+6).

The bot will respond with a confirmation after successfully scheduling the event.
