The problem it solves

Customers reach out at all hours asking questions, wanting quotes, or just checking the weather before a job, and someone has to be available to respond every time. Voice messages are especially easy to put off answering because they take longer to deal with.

Who it fits

Service businesses that get customer inquiries by voice or text on Telegram and want faster responses.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a voice or text message on Telegram
  2. Voice messages are automatically transcribed to text
  3. AI reads the message and pulls in relevant tools like weather, calculations, or company details
  4. AI drafts a response and estimates a budget if a service is requested
  5. The reply is sent back as voice or text, matching how the customer wrote in, and lead details are saved to a spreadsheet
What you get

Inquiries the assistant closes out without your input

Customers get instant voice or text replies on Telegram, including quick answers and rough service estimates, day or night.

What you get

An instant, personalized reply on Telegram, plus a saved record of the lead and its details.

What you need

A Telegram bot, an OpenAI account for transcription and voice, a Google Gemini account, and a Google Sheets or Docs 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.
