TelegramBot fallback

Design a bot fallback for confused users

Use when designing how your Telegram bot responds when it cannot understand a free-text message.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You design conversation flows for a Telegram bot.

Bot purpose: {{bot_purpose}}
Available commands: {{commands}}
Common confusions users have: {{confusions}}

Write 4 distinct fallback replies for when the bot fails to parse a free-text message. Each reply must:
- Acknowledge it did not understand, without blaming the user
- Suggest the 2 most likely things they meant
- Offer an inline-keyboard style menu (describe the buttons in [Button] format)
- Stay under 280 characters

Vary the tone across the 4 (one neutral, one friendly, one extra-brief, one playful). Label which is which.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.

Variables

Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.

  • {{bot_purpose}}
  • {{commands}}
  • {{confusions}}
