What I Built

In today's experience-driven business landscape, exceptional customer support is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. But managing a constant flow of feedback, analyzing sentiment, and crafting personalized responses can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive challenge.

Enter Telinga, a customer support API built with Django, Twilio, and Gemini AI. Telinga streamlines the process, automates tasks, and empowers you to deliver an exceptional customer experience that keeps your customers happy and coming back for more. Telinga seamlessly captures customers feedback through the Twilio API, which integrates with various communication channels like SMS and email. But Telinga goes beyond just collecting messages. It leverages the power of Gemini AI to analyze the sentiment of the feedback. Is it positive praise? A neutral inquiry? Or a negative outburst requiring immediate attention? Telinga intelligently categorizes the sentiment, allowing you to prioritize responses and address critical issues promptly.

Demo

How Telinga Works:

1) Onbaording: Business Aggregators register and obtain API Key used in making subsequent calls
2) Upload Customer Data: Integrators hit the Telinga API with a csv file containing the customer data using the template in the attached collection. This file is uploaded alongside the message template and delivery time (now or time in GMT)
3) Notification: Telinga will automatically send an SMS or email notification based on the information you provide. Notifications can be sent immediately (delivery_time set to "now") or scheduled for a specific time.
4) Feedback Collection: Customer feedback is collected via SMS or email.
5) Language Detection and Translation: Gemini detects the language and translates the feedback if necessary.
6) Sentiment Analysis: The feedback is analyzed for sentiment to determine if it requires escalation.
7) Email Subject Generation: Gemini generates an appropriate email subject for the response.
8) Response and Escalation: Responses are sent via SMS or email. If the feedback is negative, it is escalated to a support agent, and Twilio Programmable Voice API initiates a call to the customer.
