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:
    1. Normalize input.
    2. Retrieve context from Knowledge Base.
    3. Feed context + query to chosen AI model.
    4. 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.
