It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

You want to give your team or customers access to an AI assistant through chat, but building separate tools for each AI model is impractical, and letting usage run unchecked could get expensive fast.

Who it fits

Businesses offering an AI chat assistant to staff or customers who need to control usage and cost.

How it works

  1. Triggered when someone messages the Telegram bot
  2. The system reads which AI model they picked and their message
  3. It checks their usage for the day against a limit in Google Sheets
  4. If they're within limit, the request goes to the chosen AI model
  5. The reply is sent back in Telegram and the usage is logged
What you get

AI conversations your team can access daily

Your staff or customers can chat with several AI models through Telegram while their daily usage stays tracked automatically.

What you get

An AI-generated reply delivered in Telegram, with usage tracked per person.

What you need

A Telegram bot, an AIMLAPI account, and a Google Sheets 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.
