AI Telegram Bot for Online Stores: The DANSOY Case Study

The best test of a tool's quality is when its creator can't resist using it. I use such a system at my own online sauce store, DANSOY (dansoy.pro): an accounting system, a website, and Telegram bot with local AI. The bot selects recipes for customers, finds the right product, and completes the payment process in just two clicks.

You can get a similar website with an AI-powered dashboard without your own development team – through 1001site AI.

How the connection works: accounting, website, and Telegram bot

I enter the product once – into the inventory system. Then it appears on the website automatically: the inventory system synchronizes inventory, shipments, payments, and order status, so the card on dansoy.pro always shows what's actually in stock. Telegram bot in this system isn't a separate service, but a shell over the same database: the same intelligence can be displayed as a widget on the website or through Telegram integration. For the buyer, nothing changes except the communication channel.

The brains of the connection is the VabeVOX platform with local AI: it scans the store's products and engages in conversations with customers via text, voice, photos, and videos. The AI assistant at 1001site operates on a similar principle: it edits the website with words at the owner's request. This approach is equally applicable to any service—it simply requires a custom prompt. DANSOY has two such goals: to collect a customer contact database via Telegram channel and to provide the owner with an assistant who selects sauces and recipes for her kitchen.

What the buyer sees: a catalog and shopping cart in two clicks

The website features a typical online store catalog: sauce categories, product cards with volume and price options. The bot takes customers there via a link to a specific product.

Once the bot has found a recipe, it automatically finds the required sauce in the catalog and offers it for purchase. Ordering is done in just two clicks: with instant payment or cash on delivery, without any extra fields.

What can an AI assistant do?

• Remembers the family. If the hostess once described her family's tastes and composition, the bot will tailor all future recipes to her needs—without repeating questions.
• Collects top-rated recipes. In a split second, the bot scans trusted YouTube channels, rates videos based on reviews and popularity, and returns the best recipe—without the buyer having to scroll through dozens of videos. You can also upload your own recipe database separately.
• Sells after a recipe. The bot immediately suggests the appropriate product from the store for the selected dish.
• Understands photos. Take a photo of your fridge contents, and the bot will suggest what to cook from it and what to buy next.

Why I chose Telegram for leads

The dialogue with the buyer works the same across all messaging apps. For this project, I chose Telegram because the goal is to collect leads specifically from Telegram channel. I'm now transferring the same approach to real estate: I'm changing the prompt to suit the new task, but the "accounting → website → bot" architecture remains the same.

This approach is suitable for any business that sells through social media or messaging apps and wants a single point of truth for inventory—without manually checking between channels. You can check the link on a live store: dansoy.pro, a banner button leads directly to the bot.

A similar website with a catalog and an AI-based dashboard assistant can be created at 1001site AI – using a style catalog, a link to your Instagram, an old website, or a product table.
