Why Use a Thread ID?
A Thread ID is essential for ensuring the AI 'remembers' the previous conversation. Without a consistent ID, every new message will be treated as a fresh interaction without any history (stateless).
Safety Filter Tips
Telegram 'Watch Updates' can be triggered by many events, including photos, group joins, or other bots. Always use 'Text Exists' and 'User ID' filters so your AI Agent doesn't waste tokens processing unintended data.
