BetterBot

A simplified Telegram bot that lets non-technical users edit the Better Life SG website by sending natural language instructions.

How it works

1. User sends a message to the Telegram bot (e.g. "Change the phone number to 91234567")
2. BetterBot uses an LLM (GPT-4.1) with file-editing tools to read and modify the website HTML
3. Changes are written directly to the site files served by Caddy

Stack

• Python 3.12 + python-telegram-bot + OpenAI SDK
