The problem it solves

Your team wastes time searching through manuals, policies, and old files to answer the same questions again and again. New hires and customers often get inconsistent answers because nobody can find the right document fast enough.

Who it fits

A company that wants an internal FAQ bot or customer support assistant trained on its own documents.

How it works

  1. New files placed in Google Drive are automatically indexed
  2. The system stores the content in a searchable database
  3. A team member or customer asks a question in Telegram
  4. OpenAI finds the most relevant document sections and writes an answer
  5. The chatbot replies in Telegram with a source-backed answer
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your own documents

Staff or customers can ask a question in Telegram and get an answer sourced directly from your internal documents, any time they need it.

What you get

An instant, accurate chat answer pulled directly from your own documents.

What you need

A Telegram bot, an OpenAI API key, a Postgres database, and a Google Drive 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.
