The problem it solves

Customers keep asking for account or balance updates, and pulling each one manually from your spreadsheet takes time away from other work. You also need a simple way to control who's allowed to see what.

Who it fits

Businesses that track customer financial or account data in a spreadsheet and want self-serve reporting.

How it works

  1. A customer messages your Telegram bot with their name or a start command
  2. The system checks a permissions list to confirm they're allowed access
  3. It pulls the matching financial and account data from your spreadsheet
  4. A formatted summary report is sent back in the same chat
  5. Unauthorized or unmatched requests get a polite denial message
What you get

Customers who serve themselves without calling you

Your customers message a bot on Telegram and instantly receive their own financial summary pulled straight from your spreadsheet.

What you get

An instant, personalized financial summary delivered to the customer over Telegram.

What you need

A Telegram bot account and a Google 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.
