The problem it solves

Typing out questions and reading long replies is a hassle for customers, and it shuts out people who'd rather just talk. Round-the-clock voice support usually means hiring staff or a call center you don't have budget for.

Who it fits

A business or customer service team that wants to offer voice-based support through a messaging app instead of hiring live agents.

How it works

  1. Someone sends a voice message to your Telegram bot
  2. The system transcribes the audio to text
  3. An AI agent reads the transcript and looks up relevant information from your knowledge base
  4. It writes a response and remembers the conversation for follow-up questions
  5. The response is converted back to speech and sent as a voice message on Telegram
What you get

Voice questions answered without a live agent

Your customers get a spoken answer to their voice message, pulled straight from your own knowledge base.

What you get

A spoken AI reply sent back through Telegram, along with a saved record of the conversation.

What you need

A Telegram bot token, a Deepgram API key, an OpenAI API key, and a Supabase 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.
