Create a custom Laravel version of a PHP script + Telegram bot

We are looking for an experienced Laravel developer to convert an open-source Telegram chatbot script (Upgrade to see actual info) to make it work with Laravel framework.

Once this is done, we need two additional customizations to the basic functionality:

1) Add basic chatbot functionality: upon opening chat, the bot should ask: "Are you an existing client?" and provide 2 options, "Yes" and "No."

If the visitor answers yes, then post a clickable link to Upgrade to see actual info

If the visitor answers no, then post a clickable link to Upgrade to see actual info


2) Currently, the chat works by assigning a set of random characters to unique users, which makes sense for anonymous web visitors.

We want to create a version of this chat for our clients who will be logged in to their client cabinets on our portal.

Our client cabinet is written in Laravel (hence the requirement to convert the script to Laravel).

We want to let operators in the Telegram group see the ACTUAL NAME of the client, as opposed to the random set of characters, so they could reply to that client.

Your job will be to create a customization that would allow us to communicate with two fake clients (Bob Smith and Jessica Rogers) and see their names whenever "they" type something, rather than the random set of characters.

Requirements for you:
-- Must be able to prioritize this project over your other commitments, since we need this done ASAP
-- Be experienced coder who knows Laravel
-- Have experience with Telegram bots
-- Have Telegram account to communicate with our team
