Ask questions about your documents through a Telegram chatbot

New documents in Google Drive are indexed automatically so you can ask an AI chatbot questions about them on Telegram.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Your team's manuals, research, or case files are scattered across folders, and finding the answer to a specific question means digging through documents by hand. New material gets added constantly, so any manual index goes stale fast.

Who it fits

Good for customer support teams, research or legal groups, and any business that wants a searchable knowledge base without manual data entry.

How it works

  1. A new document is added to a monitored Google Drive folder
  2. The document is split into chunks and turned into searchable embeddings with OpenAI
  3. The chunks are stored in a Supabase vector database
  4. A team member sends a question to the Telegram bot
  5. The AI finds the relevant document chunks and replies with a concise, sourced answer
What you get

Document answers available on Telegram

You get an AI chatbot on Telegram that answers questions using your own documents, indexed automatically as new files arrive.

What you get

Instant, accurate answers to document questions delivered through Telegram.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Supabase account, an OpenAI API key, and a Telegram bot.

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.
