The problem it solves

Customer questions come in through one chat channel, but billing, tech support, and returns all need different answers from different sources. Without routing, every message ends up in the same queue and takes longer to sort out.

Who it fits

Growing businesses that handle multiple types of customer requests through a single Telegram channel.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a command like billing or tech support on Telegram
  2. The request is routed to the matching department's knowledge base
  3. AI searches your documents for the relevant answer
  4. The conversation and department choice are tracked for context
  5. A relevant answer is sent back on Telegram
What you get

Requests the bot answers without escalating to you

Customers pick the department they need on Telegram and get an answer pulled straight from your own documents.

What you get

An accurate, department-specific answer delivered directly in Telegram.

What you need

A Telegram bot, an OpenRouter or OpenAI account, a Pinecone account, a Postgres database, and Google Drive for your documents.

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.
