Have you tried Telegram bots with inline feature supported? It does exactly same thing you have described. (but not ordering pizza yet)

At any one-o-one chat or group chat type:

@gif happy minions -> shows gifs

@youtube js talk -> find relevant videos and select one to send to chat

and so on

So you still have to name the bot you want, vs the system figuring out which bot(s) are able to handle your request, which the parent post seems to suggest.
