Answer questions from your documents through a Telegram chatbot

Uploads to Google Drive build a searchable knowledge base that a Telegram bot uses to answer questions.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Your team or customers ask the same questions over and over, and the answers live scattered across documents nobody has time to search. New hires and customers wait on someone to dig up the right file instead of getting an instant answer.

Who it fits

A business that wants to give employees or customers instant answers from its own documents, without hiring extra support staff.

How it works

  1. A new document is uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder
  2. The system breaks it into searchable chunks and stores it in a knowledge base
  3. Someone sends a question to your Telegram bot
  4. The bot searches the knowledge base for relevant information and remembers earlier questions in the conversation
  5. You receive an answer based on your own documents
What you get

Questions answered from your own documents

Your team gets instant answers to questions, pulled straight from your own documents, right inside Telegram.

What you get

Instant, accurate answers to questions sent to your Telegram bot, sourced from your own documents.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Pinecone account, a Telegram bot token, and a Google Drive account.

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.
