conversation_bot

This bot asks questions and waits for the answers inline, without storing per-user state.

Chat.ask() sends a message and waits for the next one that matches. The update it consumes does not reach your handlers, so the answer to a question cannot re-trigger the command that asked it.

Usable by Users Bots

from pyrogram import Client, filters
from pyrogram.errors import ListenerTimeout

app = Client("my_bot")


@app.on_message(filters.command("register") & filters.private)
async def register(client, message):
    try:
        name = await message.chat.ask("What should I call you?", timeout=60)
        age = await message.chat.ask(
            "How old are you?",
            filters=filters.text,
            timeout=60,
        )
    except ListenerTimeout:
        await message.reply("Took too long — send /register again when you're ready.")
        return

    if not age.text.isdigit():
        await age.reply("That wasn't a number. Start over with /register.")
        return

    await age.reply(f"Registered {name.text}, age {age.text}.")


app.run()

Each wait has its own timeout, and a listener that expires raises ListenerTimeout rather than leaving the conversation hanging. Waiting inside a handler is safe: wzgram covers the parked dispatcher worker with a relief worker, so concurrent conversations do not starve the pool.
