Smart Shopping Engine in Telegram
Smart Shopping Engine in Telegram: NLP Product Search, Recommendations & Order Management Bot
Executive Overview
The Smart Shopping Engine in Telegram is a conversational commerce platform that turns messaging into a data-driven sales channel. An NLP search pipeline and a dual recommendation engine run directly inside Telegram communities and digital storefronts, so customers find products with free-form queries, get personalised suggestions, track orders and contact the merchant without leaving the messenger. It answers inquiries in under 30 seconds, 24/7, and automates the order lifecycle from search to return. Built on the AI-Systems IVA and ABI platforms.
Neural & Technological Stack
Full-text and semantic NLP search: free-form conversational queries, typo resolution, intent classification and extraction of brand, category, size and price constraints with pre-trained transformer models
Dual recommendation engine: content-based filtering (product attributes vs. user preferences) and collaborative filtering (user-to-user and item-to-item matrix factorisation), with real-time re-ranking to session context and cart changes
Dialogue management: Rasa Core and Rasa NLU with visual scenario editor (Botfront, React Flow), multi-turn conversations, dynamic branching and slot filling
Support and feedback: automated FAQ clustering (TopicNet, BigARTM), sentiment analysis, claim generation and human-agent escalation
Enterprise integration: bi-directional CRM and ERP sync via REST API and webhooks for order lookup, cancellation and ticket creation
Accuracy and scale: intent classification above 92% accuracy; designed for 500,000+ monthly customer interactions
Stack: Python 3.9+, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux
Target Industry Verticals
E-commerce platforms, retail and wholesale chains, apparel, footwear and accessories retailers, Telegram marketplace communities, D2C brands and commercial digital storefronts.
