The essence of the project is simple – to help users communicate with native speakers of foreign languages. However, to implement it, we had to create something new – a telegram bot with the function of internal calls.

Technically, the project did not become a big challenge for our team, but it was not without difficulties. Thus, a preliminary study showed that one bot will not be enough to achieve the set goals, in addition to it, an administrator panel is required to manage paid subscriptions and content, as well as a landing page that will solve marketing problems.

• Collection of information. The requirements of the client and his vision were studied, competitors were analyzed.
• Technical documentation and prototype. In the first sprint, based on the information received from the customer and the analysis of products that are already on the market, we created a bot prototype, presented it to the client and selected the optimal technology stack.
• Design development. To provide maximum convenience for users and administrators of the bot, we have developed an individual design of the bot and landing page.
• Technical development. The work of the bot was built on Telegram Web Apps, the backend was developed on the Django framework, and the client side of the admin panel was developed on Vuexy components.
• Testing. All functions of the bot have been thoroughly tested to eliminate the possible occurrence of errors during real use.

 

Bot features for users

The bot provides users with great opportunities, which expand even more in the case of a paid subscription. Main functions:

• Communication with speakers: by phone, in the format of voice or text messages.
• Premium account: After signing up for a paid subscription, users can add any number of speakers to “Favorites” and communicate with them for an unlimited time.
• Account personalization: choose a language, add a photo and information about yourself.
• Checking the level of knowledge using a test.
• Search for a speaker in real time.
• Adding speakers to Favorites.
• Access to the catalog of games.

Admin panel features

The administration panel is used to manage the bot. With its help you can:

• keep records of the user base and speakers;
• control transactions – payment for subscriptions;
• manage the catalog of games;
• manage tests and track user results.

How was the development of the landing

The landing page development process was also carried out according to the SCRUM methodology, and consisted of the following stages:

• Collection of information.
• Development and approval of the prototype.
• Creation of an individual design.
• Frontend development.
• Testing.

If we talk about the tasks of the landing page, then it performs an exclusively marketing function and presents the capabilities of the @Speakhunt_bot bot to potential users.

At the beginning of the journey, the client had only an idea – to create a bot to communicate with native speakers of foreign languages. We studied his request, analyzed it and implemented the most effective solution not only from a technical, but also a marketing point of view.
