High-Level Architecture
Frontend
- Client dashboard: onboarding, project setup, knowledge base upload, channel configuration
- Customer-facing AI bot interface: chat page embedded in client’s site, Telegram, email, etc.
- Admin dashboard: monitor conversations, override responses
Backend (Python)
- Core app framework: Django / FastAPI (FastAPI recommended for async, API-first approach)
- Authentication & Accounts: Multi-tenant user management (each client = tenant)
- Project & Channel Management: Store client configs (Telegram bot keys, email SMTP creds, AI model choice)
- Message Orchestration: Routes queries → preprocess → AI model → knowledge base → return response
- Knowledge Base (MCP integration): Ingest docs, PDFs, Google Drive/OneDrive, index content, semantic search
- AI Connector Layer: Wrappers for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and future LLMs
- Monitoring & Logging: Store all conversations, admin can review & edit
Database
- PostgreSQL/MySQL: for structured data (users, projects, configs, logs)
- Vector DB: Pinecone, Weaviate, or open-source FAISS for knowledge base indexing
AI / NLP
- Connector: OpenAI API (ChatGPT), Perplexity API, and pluggable LLMs
- Pre-/Post-processing pipeline: inject context, system prompts, etc.
- Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): option to fine-tune or use RAG with knowledge base
Communication Integrations
- Telegram Bot API: customer chats
- Email Gateway: SMTP + IMAP, or services like SendGrid
- Optional: WhatsApp Business API, Slack, Web widget
File Handling & Knowledge Base
- File parser: PDF, DOCX, TXT
- Cloud storage integration: Google Drive/Dropbox API for linked knowledge sources
- Embeddings generator: OpenAI embeddings, HuggingFace models
- Indexing service: store embeddings into Vector DB
Infrastructure
- Cloud deployment: AWS, GCP, Azure, or DigitalOcean
- Containerization: Docker
- Background task runner: Celery / RQ for async jobs (e.g., doc parsing)
- Caching: Redis for messages and sessions
Client Communication Management Application – High-Level Overview
1. Tech Stack
- Backend (Python)
- FastAPI (recommended for async, lightweight, API-first approach) or Django (if you want batteries-included features).
- SQLAlchemy or Django ORM (for database interactions).
- Database
- PostgreSQL (yes, perfectly suited for multi-tenant, relational data storage).
- Frontend
- React / Next.js (or Vue/Angular depending on preference).
- Admin dashboard + Client dashboard.
- AI/ML Integrations
- OpenAI API / Perplexity API / Custom AI connectors.
- Knowledge Base Indexing (e.g., LangChain + Vector DB like Postgres pgvector, Weaviate, or Pinecone).
- MCP Server (for tool orchestration + context passing).
- Communication Channels
- Telegram Bot API integration.
- Email integration (IMAP/SMTP or services like SendGrid/Mailgun).
- Infrastructure
- Docker for containerization.
- Nginx / Traefik for reverse proxy.
- Optional: Kubernetes for scaling.
2. Core Modules & Features
🔹 Client Onboarding
- Form to capture client + project details.
- Generate dedicated project page for embedding AI bot.
- Multi-tenant user management (each client = tenant).
🔹 Communication Channels
- Configurable options for each client:
- Telegram bot setup.
- Email inbox setup.
- Future: WhatsApp, Slack, etc.
🔹 AI Model Connector
- Ability to select which AI model:
- ChatGPT (OpenAI).
- Perplexity.
- Others (pluggable architecture).
- Standardized response pipeline regardless of model.
🔹 Knowledge Base
- Upload project docs (PDF, DOCX, TXT).
- Import from Drive links / Notion / Confluence.
- Store embeddings in pgvector (Postgres extension).
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for query responses.
🔹 Query Processing
- Customer submits query → AI pipeline:
- Normalize input.
- Retrieve context from Knowledge Base.
- Feed context + query to chosen AI model.
- Return AI response.
- Option for admin override & monitoring.
🔹 Monitoring & Admin Portal
- View all conversations per client/project.
- Override/edit AI responses.
- Track usage per channel/model.
- Analytics & logs.
3. Database Design (Postgres)
Tables (example):
clients→ Client info (name, domain, etc.)projects→ Linked to clients (stores project metadata).channels→ Configured communication channels.ai_models→ Available model connectors.knowledge_base→ Documents & embeddings.queries→ User queries & responses.users→ Client admins & internal admins.
Use pgvector for embeddings storage and similarity search.
4. External Integrations
- Telegram Bot API → Webhook for messages.
- Email API → IMAP/SMTP or SendGrid.
- AI APIs → OpenAI, Perplexity, etc.
- Storage → AWS S3 / GCP Storage for uploaded files.
- Drive APIs → Google Drive API (for fetching docs).
- Authentication → JWT or OAuth2 (multi-tenant).
5. Deployment & Scaling
- Containerize with Docker.
- CI/CD (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI).
- Cloud hosting (AWS/GCP/Azure/DigitalOcean).
- Use Postgres + pgvector for persistence + semantic search.
- Caching layer (Redis) for session storage & rate limiting.
