 # EduPlannerBotAI

+**EduPlannerBotAI** is a Telegram bot built with `aiogram 3.x` and powered by a multi-level LLM architecture. It generates personalized study plans, exports them to PDF/TXT, and sends reminders as Telegram messages. All data is stored using TinyDB (no other DBs supported).
 
 > **Note:** All code comments and docstrings are in English for international collaboration and code clarity. All user-facing messages and buttons are automatically translated to the user's selected language.
 
 ## 📌 Features
 
-- 📚 Generate personalized study plans (LLM/OpenAI, automatic fallback to Groq if OpenAI unavailable)
+- 📚 Generate personalized study plans using multi-level LLM architecture
 - 📝 Export study plans to PDF/TXT
 - ⏰ Send reminders as Telegram messages for each study step
 - 🗄️ Store data using TinyDB (no SQL/other DBs)
-- 🌐 Multilingual: English, Russian, Spanish — all messages, buttons, and files are translated in real time using LLMs (OpenAI or Groq)
+- 🌐 Multilingual: English, Russian, Spanish — all messages, buttons, and files are translated in real time using LLMs
 - 🏷️ All keyboards are always shown with a short message, ensuring buttons are reliably displayed
 - ❌ No empty or invisible messages — all user-facing text is always non-empty (prevents Telegram errors)
 - 🔄 Language selection buttons are not translated, so the language filter works correctly
 - 🤖 If translation is not possible, the original English text is sent
 - 🧩 Simple, maintainable, idiomatic codebase — ready for extension
+- 🚀 **NEW**: Local LLM integration for offline operation and guaranteed availability
+
+## 🆕 Multi-Level LLM Architecture
+
+The bot now features a sophisticated multi-level fallback system that ensures reliable service even when external APIs are unavailable:
+
+### LLM Processing Chain
+
+1. **OpenAI GPT** (Priority 1) - Primary model for generating study plans
+2. **Groq** (Priority 2) - Secondary model, used if OpenAI is unavailable
+3. **Local LLM** (Priority 3) - Local TinyLlama 1.1B model for offline operation
+4. **Fallback Plan** (Priority 4) - Predefined high-quality study plan template
+
+### How It Works
+
+The bot automatically attempts to generate study plans using available services in order of priority:
+
+1. **Primary**: OpenAI API (if `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set and quota is available)
+2. **Fallback 1**: [Groq](https://groq.com/) (if `GROQ_API_KEY` is set)
+3. **Fallback 2**: Local LLM (TinyLlama 1.1B model)
+4. **Last Resort**: Local plan generator (comprehensive template)
+
+### Local LLM Integration
+
+The bot now includes a local TinyLlama 1.1B model that provides:
+
+- **Offline Operation**: Works without internet connection
+- **Fast Response**: No network latency
+- **Privacy**: All processing happens locally
+- **Guaranteed Availability**: Always accessible as fallback
+- **High Quality**: Professional-grade study plan generation
+
+### Translation Fallback
+
+The same multi-level system applies to text translation:
+
+1. **OpenAI** for high-quality translations
+2. **Groq** as secondary translation service
+3. **Local LLM** for offline translation capability
+4. **Original Text** if all translation services fail

-- Multilingual support is powered by LLM-based translation (OpenAI or Groq fallback).
-- Fallback to Groq is supported for both generation and translation if OpenAI is unavailable.
-- If translation is not possible, the original English text is sent.
-- Codebase is fully in English (comments, docstrings, messages), PEP8 and pylint compliant (score 10/10).
-- 100% test coverage for all core logic and handlers (pytest).
-- Logic is maximally simplified, with no unnecessary conditions; all stages work reliably and predictably.
