Use case This workflow enables a Telegram bot that can: Accept speech input in one of 55 supported languages Automatically detect the language spoken and translate the speech to another language Responds back with the translated speech output. This allows users to communicate across language barriers by simply speaking to the bot, which will handle the translation seamlessly. How does it work? Translation In the translation step the workflow converts the user's speech input to text and detects the language of the input text. If it's English, it will translate to French. If it's French, it will translate to English. To change the default translation languages, you can update the prompt in the AI node. Output In the output step, we provide the translated text output back to the user and speech output is generated in the translated language. Setup steps Obtain Telegram API Token Start a chat with the BotFather. Enter /newbot and reply with your new bot's display name and username. Copy the bot token and use it in the Telegram node credentials in n8n.

Run a Telegram voice assistant with OpenAI GPT-5 Mini and Google Calendar
Quick overview This workflow turns a Telegram bot into a personal assistant that accepts text or voice notes, transcribes audio with OpenAI, uses a memory-enabled AI agent for replies and calculations, and creates Google Calendar reminder events from natural-language requests. How it works Triggers whenever a new Telegram message is received by your bot. Routes the message based on type, sending text directly to the assistant, voice notes to transcription, and other message types to a fallback reply. For voice notes, downloads the audio from Telegram and transcribes it to text using OpenAI. Sends the user’s text (typed or transcribed) to an OpenAI chat model powered agent that remembers the last 15 messages per chat and can use a calculator tool. When the user asks for a reminder or event, the agent creates a Google Calendar event with AI-generated title and start/end times. Sends the agent’s final response back to the originating Telegram chat. Setup Create a Telegram bot with @BotFather, add a Telegram credential in n8n, and enable updates for the Telegram Trigger. Add an OpenAI credential with access to the chat model and audio transcription used in the workflow. Add a Google Ca
