Notas de campo sobre soporte con IA, operaciones multicanal y crecimiento en Telegram.
Six steps from zero to your first test message. Create the bot with BotFather, grab the token, paste it into Lane.Chat, webhook sets itself.
@lanechat/react turns the widget into something your components can boss around: a provider, a hook, an identify call — and nothing to render.
The widget's REST API is open to your code too: open a conversation with two curl calls, watch it land in the dashboard, then verify webhook signatures in twenty lines of Node.
Most chat is pure reaction. Two flow nodes change that: a teaser bubble that nudges next to the launcher before the panel opens, and a first-visit welcome already waiting inside when it does.
Three fields connect your app to a Telegram supergroup: every new conversation becomes a topic, visitor messages mirror in, and replies typed in the group reach the customer in the widget.
WISMO is a 30-second answer trapped in a 24-hour medium. A six-week migration to Telegram and instant channels that demotes email on evidence instead of ripping it out.
Every field of a working persona, filled in for real: role, tone, catchphrase, forbidden topics, a four-line system prompt — and a live test where Mei sells a mocha and refuses to do taxes.
Two bots with identical facts get very different return rates. What actually goes into a working AI persona — and why the boundaries matter more than the charm.
A bot quoted the wrong return window to forty customers and nobody noticed, because confident answers look identical to correct ones. Citations are how you tell them apart.
The production rollout, not the science experiment: create the bot, mirror every conversation into your team group, let AI take the first pass, and step in when it matters.
Seven steps covering Meta App creation, WhatsApp product setup, number verification, permanent token, webhook, and template submission.
AI support isn't about replacing humans. It's about filtering what humans shouldn't have to touch — and handing off cleanly when it can't. Four patterns, where each one earns its keep, and where each one breaks.
