What it does

AskSusi Telegram Bot is a Node/Express relay: you message it on Telegram, it hits the SUSI.AI backend, and returns whatever response the server gives. That’s the full loop. The README points to a separate installation guide for self-hosting, and the project uses development as its default git branch.

The interesting bit

There isn’t one, really — this is thin glue between two APIs (Telegram Bot API and SUSI.AI). The value, if any, lives entirely in the backend intelligence it leans on.

Key highlights

  • Node.js + Express stack
  • GPL v3 licensed
  • CI wired up via Travis and CircleCI
  • Screenshot shows a basic conversational UI in Telegram
  • Part of the larger FOSSASIA SUSI ecosystem

Caveats

  • README is bare: no feature list, no architecture diagram, no API docs
  • No indication of how SUSI.AI responses are formatted or what skills/actions are supported
  • development as default branch is unconventional and easy to miss

Verdict

Worth a look if you’re already running SUSI.AI infrastructure and need a Telegram frontend. Skip it if you want a standalone, documented bot framework — this is a deployment convenience, not a product.
