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, Telegram 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.

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, photo galleries, callback games, usage statistics, user profiles, purchase-intent lead forwarding, and contextual sessions.
• Local media cache and resized Telegram 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.
