+# Advanced Telegram Bot Project
+
+This project is a feature-rich Telegram bot built using the `python-telegram-bot` library. The bot provides a variety of interactive commands and functionalities, such as weather updates, motivational quotes, and more. 
+
+## Features
+
+- **Basic Commands**: Includes `/start`, `/help`, and `/info` commands to guide users.
+- **Weather Updates**: Provides real-time weather information for any city, using an external API.
+- **Motivational Quotes**: Offers daily motivational quotes with an option to get more via inline buttons.
+- **Interactive Elements**: Inline keyboards for quick interactions, making the bot more engaging.
+- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive logging and error handling for smooth operation.
+
+## Setup and Installation
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+Ensure you have Python 3 installed. Then, install the required libraries:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### 2. Get API Keys
+
+- **Telegram Bot API Key**: Create a bot through [BotFather on Telegram](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather) and get the token.
+- **Weather API Key**: Sign up on [WeatherAPI](https://www.weatherapi.com/) or [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/) to obtain an API key.
+
+### 3. Configure API Keys
+
+Replace placeholders in `app.py` with your actual API keys:
+
+```python
+WEATHER_API_KEY = 'your_weather_api_key'
+TELEGRAM_TOKEN = 'your_telegram_bot_token'
+```
+
+### 4. Run the Bot
+
+Run the bot using:
+
+```bash
+python app.py
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Once the bot is running, you can interact with it on Telegram:
+
+- **/start** - Starts the bot and displays a welcome message.
+- **/help** - Lists available commands.
+- **/weather `<city_name>`** - Retrieves the current weather for a specified city.
+- **/motivate** - Sends a motivational quote with an inline option to get more quotes.
+
+## Example Interactions
+
+- `/start`: "Welcome! Use /help to see available commands."
+- `/weather London`: "Weather in London: 18°C, Partly Cloudy"
+- `/motivate`: "Stay positive, work hard, make it happen!" with a button for more quotes.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+├── app.py                 # Main bot code
+├── README.md              # Project documentation
+└── requirements.txt       # Dependencies
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **TypeError**: If you encounter issues with the `Updater` class, ensure you're using `Application` instead (for `python-telegram-bot` v20+).
+- **Network/API Errors**: Ensure API keys are correctly configured and active.
