If you’re noticing any responsiveness issues with @RickBurpBot (and other Telegram bots!) it’s because the Telegram Bot API is having issues at the moment. Main website [telegram.org](http://telegram.org) is also unreachable.

As you may have noticed recently, some bug is causing the TG bot to go down quite often.
Ever since this happened, I’ve been very busy trying to find the root cause of this. I feel I am close, but not there yet. The server can handle all requests very well, but when timing out, it fails to send the responses to the Telegram endpoint.
First of all, hours of downtime shouldn’t happen anymore. This was mostly due to me being AFK or asleep, and the bots never really crashed before. If the bot is timing out, it will auto-restart in 1-2 minutes. This allows me to find the bug in peace, since I’m unable to reproduce to bug manually, it has to happen to see if my changes (or not) to see if my changes had any effect.
Some changes have been made to improve the performance of the bot:
- Short AI queries like “Hi Rick” will be ignored from now on.
- Several rate limits have been implemented to prevent spamming contracts to the bot.
- I allowed querying the bot using self-bots before, but I will start banning IDs that are consistently **spamming** the bot.
**TIP:** You can add a deep link to Rick using `?start=0xcontract` from your bot for quick access.
Some of these changes might be reverted when the bug is found.
> ✅ Solved!

# Rick now listens to TON contracts or pairs.
Listening to TON token format is pretty tricky, and we already listen to many different token formats, so if Rick is responding to any thing that it shouldn’t, lmk.
Tokens can be searched as well, however if u are searching by name, end the query with ` ton`
> Keep in mind, very quick and dirty feature since I’m patiently waiting for DexScreener to integrate.

# [PUBLIC BETA] Dub V2 (Summaries V2)
* * *
If you are using summaries (`/dub`) regularly, you can now try out `/dubx` to try a new version of the summary command. This version should have a better understanding of the relations and context in your chat - _I’ve seen worse results than Summaries V1, but in general, results of V2 are better._
Keep in mind this feature takes the same amount of [credits](https://talk.markets/t/credits-for-rick/1136) as the regular summarize command.
Your feedback on this will be appreciated!
> ⚠ Do not use `/dubx` and `/dub` subsequently to “compare” the results, because the first will influence the other strongly if not enough new messages came in between the two invocations.

# New command: groupgun 🔫
* * *
Additionally to the `/groupburp` command, you can now use `/groupgun` to get a similar overview, however this only shows tokens with a larger cap.
This view is a bit more static and enables the ability to use the [Active token tracking for communities](https://www.notion.so/Active-token-tracking-for-communities-5de0aaa84ae2444c9b77784aa752ac7d?pvs=21) feature for larger caps alongside your degen adventures!
**I see a micro cap shitter in this list, why?**
It might be possible that the token was last checked in your chat at 3M FDV, so this token will be included in your overview. If the token dumped at the time you run `/groupgun`, it will show in your #GROUPGUN overview until you scan this token again.
_This feature will be available in Discord soon._

# Server upgraded 🟢
2024-04-03T20:00:00Z - the server has been upgraded to increase stability of the Telegram bot.
# Improved `/aica` command :telegram:
If you have [AI credits](https://talk.markets/t/credits-for-rick/1136) you can now use `/aica 0xc0ntract base` to get an AI report of uncommon functions for verified [Base](https://talk.markets/t/base-network-cheatsheet/873) :base: contracts.
The default (if no argument is provided) is [Ethereum](https://talk.markets/t/ethereum-erc-20-cheatsheet/270?silent=true).
More chains will be added in the feature, as well as Discord :discord: support.
> ⚠ This command is extremely experimental and may FUD you out of your shitter, use with caution.

# Small /tldr improvement

# New /ask command
A **new beta command** is added: `/ask` is an alternative to the [/uhh command](https://talk.markets/t/rick-chainley-the-ultimate-ai-crypto-bot-for-discord-and-telegram/1160#chatbot-8). This command uses a online LLM model, meaning it can retrieve up-to-date information from the web.
This command is **not conversational,** it’s more of a Q&A command - it’s really focused on trying to retrieve actual information on every interaction. This means it’s not retrieving chat history by default. You can give it some context by replying to any relevant message instead.
For the time being, this command only costs 1 credit (same as a regular “Rick” mention).
The same command will be added to [:discord: Discord](https://talk.markets/tag/discord) when testing in Telegram is successful.

This week I will be working on scaling the Telegram bot. There will be database migrations; due to this, there may be small moments of downtime. I will do my best to keep downtime to a minimum.
Please follow [@RickBurpBotNews](https://t.me/RickBurpBotNews). If any downtime is expected, this will be announced there.
> [!tip] When you notice Rick is unresponsive, paste a CA or use `/x` or `/z` to scan tokens; they frontrun the backlog.

Rick will experience a **brief** downtime as we prepare for the database migration.
