Elektrosovetnik: EV Advisor for Chinese Electric Cars

Elektrosovetnik is a specialized AI product for the fast-growing market of imported Chinese electric and hybrid cars. It combines a curated automotive database, multi-platform UX, API access, recommendation logic, pricing calculations, and media cards into a practical sales-funnel tool.

Product Role

The advisor helps users move from vague intent to a shortlist of real cars: family 6-7 seaters, budget city EVs, fast crossovers, premium MPVs, taxi candidates, models eligible for lower utility fees, and direct comparisons between trims. It can keep context across messages, explain why a car fits, show local photo galleries, and route purchase intent to a sales group.

Interfaces

The product is not tied to a single chat surface. The same advisor core can work through a Telegram bot, a web interface, and a bot in the MAX messenger. The architecture is adapter-friendly, so another messenger, website widget, CRM entry point, or partner platform can be connected without rebuilding the knowledge base and recommendation logic from scratch.

Automotive Knowledge Base

The catalog currently validates cleanly at 59 brands, 450 models, and 1378 trims. It stores powertrain data, dimensions, prices in China and Russia, utility-fee assumptions, 30-minute power, battery and range details, comfort features, driver-assistance features, trunk and frunk data, wow features, media galleries, aliases in Russian and English, and buyer-oriented recommendation reasons.

Engineering Highlights

• LLM orchestration with strict fallback expectations for tests and production quality.
• Recommendation profiles for family use, performance, price, taxi, comfort, body type, and brand origin.
• Telegram cards, web UI, MAX messenger bot, photo galleries, callback games, usage statistics, user profiles, purchase-intent lead forwarding, and contextual sessions.
• Local media cache and resized messenger photo cache to reduce latency.
• CI/CD pipeline for build, tests, GHCR image publishing, SSH deployment, and post-deploy smoke checks.

Business Value

The project turns traffic from content and community channels into qualified automotive conversations. Instead of a generic chatbot, it behaves like a domain expert that knows trims, prices, practical tradeoffs, and the realities of importing a car.
