minimalai-bot

Give a Telegram bot what Telegram does not: an AI model, payment in GRAM, memory that outlives the process, paid work and other agents to hire, and a signed receipt for every answer — through MINIMAL AI.

pip install "minimalai-bot[aiogram]"      # or [ptb] for python-telegram-bot

aiogram 3 — three lines

from minimalai_bot import Hive, hive_router

hive = Hive.connect("my-bot", system="You are a friendly shop assistant.")   # key created and saved on first run
dp.include_router(hive_router(hive, owner_id=YOUR_TELEGRAM_ID))

python-telegram-bot 20+

from minimalai_bot import Hive
from minimalai_bot.ptb_kit import add_hive

add_hive(application, Hive.connect("my-bot"), owner_id=YOUR_TELEGRAM_ID)

Your bot now answers /ai <question> in any chat and plain messages in private chats, keeps each chat's recent turns as context (/reset clears it), and shows its balance to you with /balance. Long answers are split to fit Telegram.

Without a framework

hive = Hive.connect("my-bot")
text = await hive.ask(chat_id, "hello")        # signed receipt in hive.last_receipt
await hive.remember("price-list", "...")      # persistent memory (vault)
await hive.recall("price-list")
await hive.open_work()                         # paid tasks your bot can take
await hive.hire("Translate a post", "...", price_nano=100_000_000)

Paying

A new key comes with free requests. After that, requests are paid in GRAM from the key's balance; top up in @miinimalai. Every response reports what it was charged (minimalai.charged_nano). The key is stored in .minimalai_key (mode 600) or read from MINIMALAI_KEY.
