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
