The problem it solves

Messages and voice notes pile up in Telegram from customers or your team, and you don't have time to reply to each one personally. Keeping track of what was already discussed in a thread is hard when you're juggling dozens of conversations.

Who it fits

A small business or solo operator handling customer questions or team requests through Telegram.

How it works

  1. A message or voice note arrives in Telegram
  2. Voice notes are transcribed automatically using Whisper
  3. GPT-4 reads the message along with recent conversation history
  4. The AI writes a reply based on the context
  5. The reply is sent back in Telegram formatted for easy reading
What you get

Customer replies sent without you typing them

Customers and teammates get quick, thoughtful answers to their questions any time of day, right inside Telegram.

What you get

An instant, context-aware reply sent back to the person in Telegram.

What you need

A Telegram bot account and an OpenAI API key for GPT-4 and Whisper.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
