Telegram webhook receives all messages\n2. Command routing checks message content and directs to appropriate handler\n3. Article summarization: URL \u2192 HTTP fetch \u2192 HTML parsing \u2192 AI summary \u2192 Response\n4. Image generation: Prompt processing \u2192 AI handling \u2192 Response notification\n\n**Note:** Image generation currently returns text confirmation instead of actual images. Consider integrating with Stability AI or similar services for real image generation."
