Watch out for

Telegram has a strict message length limit of 4096 characters so you must truncate long summaries before sending them.
Web scraping can be blocked by anti-bot measures on some sites so implement retries with random delays to avoid IP bans.
OpenAI API calls can fail due to rate limits so add exponential backoff logic to handle transient errors gracefully.
Sensitive user data might leak if you log full URLs or content so ensure your server logs only anonymized command metadata.
