Telegram AI Security Assistant

This workflow automates the detection and reporting of potential data leaks or cybersecurity concerns based on user inputs received via Telegram. It uses an AI agent to analyze the provided target information and returns a security-focused report directly in the Telegram chat.

It performs the following steps:

  1. Listens for new messages from a specific Telegram chat.
  2. Normalizes incoming Telegram updates for consistent data extraction.
  3. Filters messages that contain a query or target to analyze.
  4. Generates a helpful guidance message if no target is provided.
  5. Sends the target query to the AI agent, which classifies the input and generates a concise cybersecurity report.
  6. Prepares a Telegram-safe message, ensuring character limits and fallback text.
  7. Sends the resulting report or help message back to the Telegram chat.

What You Need

  1. A Telegram bot with the appropriate API access and chat ID.
  2. Access to the Needle platform with permissions to use the Telegram connector.
  3. An active AI agent configured for security analysis.

How the Flow Works

Send Telegram ReplySends the prepared message back to the original Telegram chat.

Output

Users receive a direct reply in their Telegram chat with the AI agent's analysis report or helpful instructions on how to use the bot. The report includes classification, severity level, findings, verification notes, and recommended next steps.

Notes

  1. The workflow handles multiple Telegram message formats including text, captions, and callback data.
  2. Sensitive data like passwords and API keys are redacted in the AI output to maintain privacy.
  3. The AI agent avoids using web searches with sensitive keys and focuses on public sources.
  4. Message truncation ensures compliance with Telegram's limits while maintaining useful content.
  5. If the AI agent cannot generate a report, users receive a friendly fallback message with examples to try again.
