Feature Description

The current Telegram bot lacks consistent user interaction, which can lead to confusion and frustration among users. This issue arises from unclear prompts, insufficient feedback for invalid inputs, and the absence of a help command to guide users. I propose implementing standardized prompts, input validation, and a /help command to enhance user experience.

Use Case

Imagine a new user interacting with the bot for the first time. Without clear instructions on available commands, they may feel lost and unsure of how to proceed. By adding a /help command that lists all commands and their descriptions, users can quickly understand how to utilize the bot's features. Additionally, standardized prompts and error messages would guide users in making valid requests, reducing the likelihood of frustration.

Benefits

Implementing this feature would significantly improve user experience by:

  1. Providing Clear Guidance: Users will understand what went wrong and how to correct their input, leading to more successful interactions.
  2. Reducing Frustration: Clear, actionable feedback will minimize confusion, encouraging users to continue using the bot rather than abandoning it due to frustration.
  3. Increasing User Engagement: A more intuitive user experience will likely result in higher user satisfaction and retention, ultimately benefiting the project’s community.
