Development of an AI chatbot (AI assistant) on Instagram for a sushi bar

Budget: 25000 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Hello. For the sushi bar, it is optimal to use a custom Python backend with OpenAI API integration and a vector database for the menu (RAG), which will work more flexibly and reliably than builders like ManyChat. I have practical experience in developing Telegram bots with complex alert routing. The Instagram Graph API will receive messages, OpenAI will consult clients in two languages, and when forming the cart, the payload will be instantly sent to a closed Telegram group for the kitchen via pyTelegramBotAPI. In what format is your knowledge base for the menu currently structured (CSV, Notion, JSON)?

Hello! Your project is really interesting to me, as I work with AI assistants, automations like Make/n8n, Telegram bots, and API integrations.

I can create a live Instagram assistant for a sushi bar that will respond to customers 24/7, consult on the menu, ingredients, prices, and delivery, help form orders, and pass them to the staff via Telegram.

Initially, I suggest creating a practical MVP in Ukrainian and English, without unnecessary complications. After launch, we will test real dialogues and improve the response logic if needed.

I will work in stages: connecting Instagram, knowledge base, order script, Telegram notifications, testing, and launch.

Hello!
We are the Business Atlas team, official partners of n8n.
As we deploy such systems turn-key in the UA/EU markets, we will complete this task 100%.
The essence of your project hinges on three critical nodes:
The first — intelligence and working with the menu. Instead of a button bot like ManyChat, we will connect the OpenAI API (GPT-4o). The AI will learn the menu, prices, and delivery conditions, and will be able to recommend rolls based on customer preferences (for example, without spicy sauces or vegan) and empathetically guide the conversation to an order in German, English, or Ukrainian.
The second — instant order sending to the kitchen. We will set up a stable workflow that instantly collects the selected items, the customer's address, phone number, and sends a structured order card to a Telegram chat for the kitchen staff.
The third — stable architecture for scaling. Since this is a pilot for your agency, we will design the system as a ready-made template using ManyChat + n8n/Make + OpenAI. This will allow you to easily copy this logic in the future and quickly deploy it for other restaurants in Europe.
My experience as a project manager and my team's experience is focused on automations and AI agents. We have implemented over 50 projects, including AI managers for retail businesses (e-commerce), which fully accompany the customer from the first "Hello" to order completion.
Message me privately — send your menu, and we will create a personal proposal for you and also show you how our ready-made AI agents work in messengers!

Budget: 12000 UAH Deadline: 15 days

For your case, it is optimal to use Make.com and OpenAI API instead of pure ManyChat. This will provide a more flexible and intelligent dialogue logic (the bot will understand the context well) than ManyChat. It can limit complex scenarios at the start. In the custom solution, I will include support for two languages and the ability to expand for future languages.

Also, a couple of questions:

1. Is the Instagram Business account and Meta App already connected, or does this also need to be set up from scratch?
2. What is the expected approximate flow of messages per month - just to choose the optimal scheme without unnecessary limitations on limits.

After receiving the answers, I will give you an exact estimate. Thank you, I look forward to your response.

Hello, Ivan! I will create a bot using custom Python (FastAPI + Meta Graph API + Claude/OpenAI) — not on a constructor, so it will be easier for you to replicate it for other clients. The bot knows the menu, does not invent items, operates in UA/EN (DE will be added at no extra charge), and sends orders to your Telegram chat. Experience: ShopAgent AI — a similar AI sales agent for Telegram/Instagram.

Budget: 5000 UAH Deadline: 4 days

I'm excited! This is a very interesting case. In the restaurant niche in Europe, speed and smart responses in direct messages lead directly to order conversions, so an AI assistant is perfect here.

I run a digital agency called KenoStudio. We specialize in creating interactive web applications, smart integrations, and automating business processes using AI.

Here's how we implement this solution:

Stability and security: We will implement the ManyChat + Make.com + OpenAI API (GPT-4o mini) connection. ManyChat is an official partner of Meta, so the risk of account blocking due to spam is zero.

Smart AI seller: We will upload your menu knowledge base (rolls, prices, ingredients, delivery conditions) into the assistant. The bot will communicate freely in Ukrainian, English, and German, suggest dishes based on the customer's taste, and guide them to purchase.

Instant notification: Through Make.com, we will set up automatic transmission of hot leads and formed orders to your closed Telegram chat for the kitchen.

Our experience and examples:
We constantly work with custom development, databases, and AI integrations. You can evaluate our approach to interfaces and logic through the links:

Our latest web project in Europe: https://slovakgo.sk/

Complex logic and integrations on GitHub: https://github.com/kenoleeee/creatorflow and https://github.com/kenoleeee/italk

I suggest having a short 5-minute call on Google Meet to discuss the menu structure and order logic. Expand

Budget: 9000 UAH Deadline: 10 days

Good day! I have done exactly this — an Instagram direct bot on ManyChat + OpenAI that consults on the menu and prices and guides the client to place an order, with instant notification of a hot lead in the kitchen's Telegram chat. The knowledge base integrates easily, and the bot handles two languages (Ukrainian/English) without any issues.

I can set up such a template for one establishment in about a week to a week and a half. Please advise — should the bot simply pass the order to the manager in Telegram, or should it compile it into some table/system right away?

Budget: 4500 UAH Deadline: 3 days

Hello.

I develop bots for Telegram using NodeJS and through constructors (SendPulse, ManyChat). I have experience with the OpenAI API. Write to me, and we will discuss.

Ivan, for the Instagram sushi bar, it's better to create not just a bot, but a stable AI assistant with a knowledge base, bilingual logic, and hot lead transfer to Telegram. I have implemented automations on Laravel/Vue and integrations where response speed and reliability of scripts are important. I can offer a simple architecture on ManyChat/Make/OpenAI or Typebot to easily scale to other clients. I'm ready to show how to assemble this quickly and without unnecessary complexity.

Budget: 2000 UAH Deadline: 2 days

Good day!

I am interested in your project. I can develop an AI bot for Instagram that will automatically respond to messages, consult clients on the menu, assist with selection, and relay information about new orders or hot leads to Telegram.

For implementation, I can suggest the integration of ManyChat + OpenAI + Make.com. This is a stable solution that is easy to scale and enhance with new functionality in the future.

I would like to clarify a few details: is there already a ready knowledge base (menu, prices, delivery conditions), and do you need the bot to complete orders fully, or just pass the request to the staff?

I would be happy to discuss the details and propose the optimal solution for your project. If the collaboration is successful, I would gladly work on your agency's future projects as well.

Budget: 3500 UAH Deadline: 4 days

Hello! I specialize in creating smart AI assistants and chatbots for businesses based on the OpenAI API. I have experience in developing such turnkey solutions (an example is in my portfolio). I am ready to effectively implement an AI bot for your sushi bar that will competently consult clients and take orders. Let's discuss the project details!

Budget: 1500 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Hello! Your project is quite interesting - so it's worth laying the right architecture from the start, so the solution can actually be replicated for other clients of the agency. Before we start, I suggest quickly and for free creating a prototype. We'll make it for test questions based on your menu. You can click around, see how the logic works in action, and only after that will we confirm the full project. I will show the prototype on a test Telegram bot — this way you will see the dialogue logic in a day or two, without needing to connect Instagram Business right away.

The architecture I propose:
1. ManyChat as the transport layer — an official partner of Meta, it receives messages from Instagram Direct 24/7 without the risk of account blocking.
2. The brain of the bot — on OpenAI API via n8n webhook. The built-in ManyChat AI Step won't work for us, as it only responds to one utterance and doesn't maintain the context of the dialogue. I will create a strict system prompt based on your menu and delivery conditions. The language (Ukrainian/English/German) will be determined automatically, without "workarounds" in the form of separate dialogue branches.
3. AI: You can connect either directly to one provider or through an aggregator like OpenRouter, which gives you the option to choose any AI available today. This way, you can switch to another model at any time without rewriting the logic and without dependency on a single vendor.
4. Management: We will place the knowledge base in regular tables. You will be able to update the menu or prices yourself without my help and without technical skills.
5. Notifications: Orders will fly separately to the Telegram chat of the kitchen.

Currently, there is no case specifically for an Instagram restaurant in the portfolio — hence the prototype: you can assess the quality in practice, without any risk for you.

Timeline: 5-7 days after the knowledge base and converting Instagram to Business (if not done yet).

Write to me, I would be happy to create a test dialogue for you! Expand

Budget: 2000 UAH Deadline: 2 days

Hello! I see that you need a bot that closes the client on the order and immediately notifies the kitchen. This is exactly what I built.

For the sushi bar, I propose implementation through n8n with OpenAI API. The bot receives messages from Instagram Direct, understands the client's request based on your menu, responds, and sends notifications to the staff via Telegram. Support for two languages is implemented through prompt engineering without additional costs.

In my portfolio, there is an AI agent for processing requests with instant notifications to the manager and a knowledge base based on OpenAI.

Budget: 8500 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Good day, Ivan.

I do not have a public case specifically for a restaurant Instagram bot, so I will not add irrelevant work. Technically, I propose using ManyChat for Instagram integration and a separate AI layer with a knowledge base: this way, the menu, prices, and delivery will not be generated by the model but will change without rewriting scripts.

I anticipate UA/EN, order composition collection, client confirmation, hot lead transfer to Telegram, and escalation to an operator if the information is insufficient. I will also add a dialogue log and restrictions on repeated responses.

To get started, I need an Instagram Business account, a connected Meta page, a structured menu, and delivery/pickup rules.

Budget: 15000 UAH Deadline: 21 days

Hello, Ivan!

The project is clear — not just an auto-responder, but an assistant that consults on the menu and guides the client to placing an order, with the transfer of hot leads to the kitchen via Telegram.

I will implement it using ManyChat (official gateway to Instagram Direct to avoid the risk of blocking) + Make.com as the orchestrator + OpenAI/Gemini API for consulting based on the knowledge base. The bot will respond strictly based on the menu/prices/delivery conditions you provide — without inventing items. Ukrainian and English will be available at the start, and I will add German without reworking the logic in the second stage.

I currently do not have a direct case specifically for a restaurant Instagram bot, but I systematically build AI agents on this stack (ManyChat/Make/n8n + OpenAI/Gemini) for other service sectors, so the logic of "consultation → determining the intent to order → transferring the lead to the staff" is a standard task for me, not an experiment. I am ready to show the result based on your real menu before the full launch, so you can see the quality of responses before engaging with live clients.

Budget: 15,000 UAH
Timeline: 2–3 weeks for full assembly, setting up the knowledge base, and testing real dialogues in both languages (a realistic timeframe for quality results, not a quick pilot).

Clarifications before starting:

Will the knowledge base be in a structured file (table/JSON) or text/PDF menu for parsing?
Is Instagram Business/Meta Business Suite already connected?
Should the bot only qualify the lead and pass it to the manager, or fully record the order details? Expand

Budget: 11000 UAH Deadline: 2 days

Hello, Ivan! The combination of the restaurant business in Vienna and automation using AI is an excellent and promising case for your agency.

It is especially nice to see that the project is focused on Vienna. I have just completed the development and turnkey launch of another Viennese service project — "HausHero Wien" (with support for German, English, and Ukrainian languages). Therefore, I fully understand the local specifics of Vienna, the division into 23 districts, and the language needs of your audience.

I propose to implement a reliable and scalable chatbot architecture:

1. ManyChat as the official Instagram gateway:
ManyChat is an official partner of Meta. Using custom scripts for Instagram Direct often leads to account bans for establishments. ManyChat guarantees 100% stable and secure webhook reception.

2. OpenAI Assistants API (gpt-4o-mini) as AI intelligence:
We will upload your menu, ingredients of rolls, and delivery conditions into the Vector Store (the assistant's knowledge base). The AI will be able to flawlessly consult clients about the composition of dishes (for example: "which rolls do you have without lactose?") and calculate delivery.

3. Automatic multilingualism:
The model will automatically determine the client's language (Ukrainian, English, or German) and instantly respond in the same language, politely closing the guest on the order.

4. Integration with the kitchen's Telegram chat:
When the client confirms the order, the script (via Node.js or Make) instantly sends a beautiful and detailed order card to your closed Telegram chat for chefs.

Conditions for developing the pilot project:
• Cost: 11,000 UAH.
• Timeline: 4-5 days (considering detailed testing of AI responses regarding the menu).

I am ready to study your menu, demonstrate the logic of operation, and start setting up the bot today. I would be happy to establish a long-term collaboration with your agency! Expand

Good day, I am ready to complete your task. Quickly and efficiently. I have experience in creating workflows in n8n. I know that Make works similarly, so I can perform the task using this tool.

Budget: 7000 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Hello! The task is clear, and I am happy to create such a bot. I have experience in developing commercial bots in Telegram and have also tested integrations with the Instagram API, so I am ready to implement everything on ManyChat + Make.com. To ensure everything works smoothly, I suggest setting up ManyChat for instant responses in direct messages 24/7, and connecting the OpenAI API through Make.com, uploading the restaurant's knowledge base there, and training the AI to politely close clients on orders. For notifying the kitchen staff, I will write a small Python script that will pull data from Make.com and nicely forward orders to a closed Telegram chat. This option will be quick to develop and maximally stable for the pilot. I estimate 7–10 days for the complete assembly, prompts for the AI, and testing.

Budget: 1000 UAH Deadline: 1 day

Hello! The task is interesting: an AI assistant in Instagram Direct that consults on the menu and processes orders, while immediately sending hot leads to a Telegram chat for the kitchen — I have implemented such connections multiple times using the OpenAI API. We will implement bilingualism (Ukrainian/English) based on the knowledge you provide, and we will set aside resources for German. I would be happy to discuss the details and the most stable implementation option in private messages.

Budget: 12000 UAH Deadline: 7 days

I would start not with "free" AI, but with the platform's boundaries: Instagram must operate through the permitted Meta/ManyChat channel. Next — a guided scenario menu/FAQ → order clarification → human handoff → message in a closed Telegram chat. This is more stable and prevents the model from inventing prices or the composition of roles.

In the MVP, I will include UA/EN, a structured menu source, responses to FAQs, collection of contacts and order intent, passing hot leads to staff, logs without unnecessary personal data, fallback to a manager, and verification of typical dialogues. German can be added in the second phase. Access/ManyChat or Meta Business tariff and OpenAI key will be provided by the client; we will check the availability of the Instagram API before development.

My self-initiated automation demo with an approval gate and honestly described API limitations: https://prooflab-live-cases.dolponik.chatgpt.site/demos/automation

MVP estimate: 12,000 UAH, 7 days. This is a demo approach, not an invented restaurant client case; I can start with a dialogue map and 20 test cases.

Budget: 10000 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Good day!

I am engaged in the development of AI chatbots for automating sales and communication with clients.

Similar cases:

An AI bot for a business that operated through a knowledge base: it answered clients' questions, provided consultations on products/services, helped make choices, and forwarded hot leads to the manager.

Telegram/WhatsApp AI assistants for processing leads, where the bot engaged in dialogue with the client, collected necessary information, and sent messages to the internal channels of the team.

For your sushi bar, I can implement an Instagram AI assistant that will respond to clients 24/7, work with the menu and knowledge base, help select items, collect orders, and relay information to the team via Telegram.

As an implementation option, I can suggest OpenAI API + Make/ManyChat or another stable architecture depending on your processes. The bot can be made bilingual (Ukrainian/English).

The estimated time for creating the MVP is 1-2 weeks.

I am ready to discuss the details, propose the architecture, and assess the exact cost after clarifying the working scenarios. Expand

Budget: 1000 UAH Deadline: 1 day

There is already a ready-made solution for you. We are interested in long-term cooperation, so we can consider this project as a case for further promotion and collaboration. Write to me privately, and I will show examples.

Budget: 12000 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Hello, Ivan!

I have reviewed the task. Since this is a pilot project for Vienna with the potential for scaling, I would strongly recommend building the solution not on ManyChat (where AI often "loses" context in large dialogues), but on a combination of FastAPI (Python) or NestJS + OpenAI API (GPT-4o mini) + automation tools (Make/Typebot).

This will ensure stability, quick response generation in two (or three) languages without failures, and full control over the sushi bar's knowledge base.

What I specifically propose to implement:

Smart assistant (OpenAI API): The bot will not just respond according to a template but will suggest rolls based on ingredients (for example, "something without mayonnaise" or "spicy rolls"), know the exact prices and delivery conditions in Vienna.

Contextual memory: The bot will maintain the thread of the conversation, even if the client steps away for an hour, and gently nudge them towards placing an order.

Instant notification in Telegram: As soon as the client is ready to place an order, the backend will instantly gather the cart/contacts and send a structured invoice to the Telegram channel for the kitchen.

Multilingualism: The AI "out of the box" perfectly recognizes Ukrainian and English, and if needed, we can easily enable German without changing the architecture.

About me:
I am a developer with commercial experience in creating web applications and architectural solutions with AI integrations (integration of OpenAI services, working with PostgreSQL/Supabase databases, developing stable backend systems). I understand how to ensure that the bot does not "hallucinate" and strictly adheres to the provided knowledge base (menu and establishment rules).

Estimated cost: $250–$300 (depending on the final volume of the menu and the logic of order transmission).

Timeline: 7–10 days (including testing conditional "dead-end" situations in the dialogue).

I am ready to discuss the architecture details in the chat and propose an optimal option that won't cost a fortune for OpenAI tokens.

Best regards, Bohdan. Expand

Budget: 5500 UAH Deadline: 10 days

I will create an AI assistant for Instagram Direct: ManyChat as the official gateway to Instagram, AI layer via OpenAI API, responses strictly from the knowledge base: menu, composition of rolls, prices, delivery conditions. Orders and hot leads will drop into a closed Telegram chat for the kitchen.

Regarding the cases: I have built AI bots in Telegram that operate according to this scheme, providing consultation based on the knowledge base without any fabrications. One answers questions based on uploaded documents and shows the source of the answer, while the other analyzes photos and returns a structured response based on their content. I will show both in the chat.

Before launching, I will run the bot through a set of real customer questions in both languages and provide you with the results of the run so you can see the quality of responses before going live with real clients. And since this is a pilot for scaling, I will separately calculate the operational cost for one establishment (platform fee plus AI tokens on the actual flow of messages): when selling the solution to subsequent clients, you will immediately see your margin.

I am ready to take the first step by assembling a prototype based on your actual menu. We will discuss the details in the chat.

We have experience in developing AI bots for Instagram Direct based on ManyChat, OpenAI, Make.com, and Telegram. We can implement a bot that:
automatically responds in Direct 24/7 in Ukrainian and English (if needed — in German);
provides consultations regarding the menu, prices, delivery, and pickup based on a knowledge base;
helps place orders and collects contact information;
transfers new orders and "hot" leads to Telegram for staff;
transfers the dialogue to a manager if needed.
We build solutions through the official Meta API, which ensures stable operation and the possibility of further scaling. We also have experience integrating AI bots with CRM, Google Sheets, and other services. We are ready to offer an optimal architecture that will serve as a template for further implementation with your clients.

Good day, it is fortunate that I found you here. I have been working on the Make.com platform for a long time, creating various assistants and agents that solve many routine tasks. For example, I worked with Telegram, which responded to all client questions very quickly. However, I am confident that I can create a similar bot for Instagram that will not only respond quickly but also identify the client's needs, gradually leading them to purchase your product. All information about the client and their readiness to buy this product will be sent, as you already described, to a closed Telegram chat. I can complete such work in two days, so I will be sincerely happy to collaborate. I look forward to your message ❤️❤️❤️

Hello! I have experience in developing chatbots and AI assistants. I would be happy to help you!

Budget: 3000 UAH Deadline: 3 days

Hello!

I see you want not just an auto-responder, but an AI assistant that will consult clients on the menu, help with selection, close orders, and instantly pass hot leads to Telegram. For such a project, it is important that the bot works reliably, and the responses are natural and based on an up-to-date knowledge base.

I have created similar solutions with AI consultants for Instagram Direct, where I combined Chatfuel, Make.com, OpenAI API, and Voiceflow to automate communication with clients. I also implemented AI lead qualification 24/7, automatic notifications, and integration of all services into a single process, which significantly reduced the load on support and increased conversion.

For your case, I would suggest the architecture of ManyChat + OpenAI + Make.com: the bot will respond in Ukrainian and English, work with the knowledge base, help place orders, and information about new orders or hot leads will automatically be sent to Telegram for the kitchen. This approach is easy to maintain and can be easily scaled to other clients.

The estimated implementation time is 7–10 days, and the final cost will depend on the complexity of the logic, the number of scenarios, and integrations.

Please let me know if there is already a ready knowledge base (menu, FAQ, delivery conditions) and if you plan to integrate with a CRM or POS system in the future? Expand

Budget: 4000 UAH Deadline: 2 days

Frontend (ManyChat): I use ManyChat exclusively as the official gateway to work with the Instagram API. This guarantees 100% security for your account from Meta bans. Here, I will set up only the greeting and language selection (UA/EN).

Backend (Custom code on PHP/Laravel): I implement all complex logic on my backend. When a client sends a text question, ManyChat sends a webhook to my script.

Intelligence (OpenAI Assistants API): On the backend, I will connect OpenAI Assistant. I will upload your knowledge base (menu, prices, delivery conditions in Vienna) in the form of structured files. The AI will respond strictly according to these documents, not making anything up, and strictly in the client's language (Ukrainian or English).

Notifications to the kitchen: As soon as the client places an order, my script instantly formats the data and sends a detailed request (order composition, contacts, address) to your private Telegram chat for staff.

Budget: 16000 UAH Deadline: 10 days

Good day!

For the responses, I am using the OpenAI API (GPT-4o-mini) instead of Claude — ManyChat has a native block for OpenAI, so the AI layer connects without custom webhooks, and for the task of "responding according to the menu and closing the order," the quality of this model is more than sufficient. Claude makes sense for more complex scenarios with large context or multi-step logic — this is not the case here, and unnecessary integration through Make.com would only add a point of failure.

The bot's responses are not taken from a bare prompt but from a separate database — menu, prices, delivery/pickup conditions — through a RAG layer, so the model won't start inventing prices or suggesting items that are out of stock.

The entry point in Instagram is ManyChat, not Typebot — the Instagram Business API works in a 24-hour window and best captures incoming messages through native triggers (comments, Stories, keywords in direct messages), which ManyChat has out of the box, while Typebot is weaker; it is more about web and WhatsApp. Make.com is the glue between ManyChat, OpenAI, and Telegram notifications for the kitchen.

Plan:

Instagram Business account + ManyChat — triggers for comments/Stories/keywords in direct messages.
Database (menu, prices, delivery zones, pickup) + RAG through OpenAI API, responses in Ukrainian or English depending on the client's language.
Webhook to a closed Telegram chat for the kitchen upon a new order or hot lead.
Verification on common questions (ingredients, allergens, delivery time, cost) before launch.
Basic version — direct bot + RAG for the menu + two languages + notifications in Telegram — 16,000–20,000 UAH, 7–10 days. Admin panel for self-updating the menu — as a separate stage after MVP. Expand

Budget: 10000 UAH Deadline: 10 days

Hello!

The pilot format with further scaling to other clients is exactly the case where it is worth immediately laying the architecture for replication, rather than creating a bot for just one restaurant.

I have experience in building agent workflows with a knowledge base for consulting clients and a RAG approach for accurate answers regarding the menu, ingredients, and delivery conditions, as well as integrations with Telegram for real-time staff notifications.

I propose using Make.com as an orchestrator between Instagram Direct and message processing, a separate knowledge base with menu/pricing for consultations without "hallucinations," logic for identifying hot leads with instant notifications in a closed Telegram chat for the kitchen, support for Ukrainian and English with the possibility of adding German later without restructuring.

Please clarify: will the knowledge base be in the form of a structured file (table/JSON) or unstructured texts/PDF menus, and is full order fixation by the bot required, or is lead qualification with transfer to staff sufficient?

The basic template for one establishment takes about 7-10 days for development and testing, with an estimated cost of approximately 10,000 UAH depending on the complexity of the knowledge base and the number of scenarios.

I am ready to show examples of similar implementations and discuss details if this fits your format. Expand

Budget: 20150 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Hello! Great project — and I’ll be honest right away: I currently don’t have a production case specifically with an Instagram bot for a restaurant, but I have a directly relevant combination of experience for all three parts of the task:
Notifications and backend logic — I have built systems with notifications in Telegram about new events (orders/errors/statuses) on real projects, for example, an admin dashboard with real-time notifications: https://github.com/kamedashe/Avia-Navigation-Data-Pipeline-Admin-API
Working with LLM API — I have my own pet project Lumina, a platform for connecting various LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, local models) via API. This is exactly the stack needed for the "brain" of the bot.
Multiplayer bots with roles and a catalog — https://github.com/kamedashe/viknadomi
The architecture I propose: Make.com as a layer for receiving/sending messages in Instagram Direct (this is the most stable way to avoid dealing with Meta Business API verification directly) + OpenAI API for generating responses based on a knowledge base (menu, prices, delivery conditions — I will format this as structured context for the model so that the bot doesn’t "hallucinate" prices) + a webhook to a closed Telegram chat for the kitchen upon a new order or hot lead. If the logic turns out to be more complex than Make.com can handle (for example, if dialogue memory or more complex lead qualification is needed) — I will move this part to a separate backend on FastAPI, which Make.com will simply call.
Bilingualism (Ukrainian/English) will be implemented by determining the language of the client's message and the corresponding prompt — this does not add significant complexity.
A few clarifications before assessing the cost:
— Will you provide the knowledge base as a structured file (menu table with prices/ingredients), or will it be a text description/website for parsing?
— What exactly should be considered a "hot lead" for notifying the kitchen — a specific order, or any question about delivery/address?
— Is the Instagram account already connected as Business/Professional and linked to Meta Business Suite? This is necessary for any of the implementation options.
Since this is a pilot for further collaboration — I am ready to discuss both a one-time cost and the format of further support/improvements for subsequent clients. Expand

Hello! Since you are open to stack suggestions, I'll tell you how to make it stable right away. Auto-responses in Instagram direct messages reliably work only through ManyChat, which is an official partner of Meta. A direct connection to Instagram via unofficial API works at first, but then it gets your account banned, which is unacceptable for business. Therefore, the foundation is ManyChat, and the intelligence of the bot is provided by OpenAI: it consults based on your menu, the composition of rolls, and prices based on your knowledge base, politely guiding the client to place an order and helping them choose.

A new order or hot lead is immediately sent to your closed Telegram chat for the kitchen. OpenAI supports Ukrainian and English out of the box, adding German later is a minor task.

Honestly, instead of someone else's ready-made restaurant bot, I would rather show you the approach itself and a live example of a dialogue about the menu, so you can see the real quality, not just screenshots.

Approximately $900-1700 and 2-3 weeks for such a template, depending on the depth of the menu and scenarios. I understand this is a pilot, and I am particularly interested in a long-term collaboration with your clients in Europe. Details in correspondence. I would be happy to collaborate.

Good day!

I can implement such an AI assistant based on SendPulse + OpenAI, without the need to develop a custom backend.

Recently, I completed a similar project for a travel company: an AI assistant in Instagram Direct that consults clients, answers questions based on a knowledge base, identifies user needs, and forwards inquiries to a manager.

For your project, I can implement:

1. automatic responses in Instagram Direct 24/7;
2. consultations on the menu, prices, delivery, and pickup based on the provided knowledge base;
3. support for conversations in the language of the inquiry;
4. forwarding hot leads to Telegram for staff;
5. the possibility of further scaling.

I would be happy to discuss the details and propose an optimal solution architecture. Expand

Hello! I create AI chatbots and Instagram automation. I can build an assistant for a sushi bar: menu, orders, responses to common questions, transfer to the manager. The price is minimal, we will discuss further based on the technical specifications. Write to me, and we will clarify the scenarios.

Budget: 17000 UAH Deadline: 10 days

Hello!
I develop AI bots and automation based on Make.com / OpenAI API — exactly the stack you mentioned in the specifications.

Here is a demo of your chatbot https://samadipro.link/ivanstr

To avoid speaking abstractly — I have prepared a working demo prototype for you: an interactive chat in the style of Instagram Direct, where the AI assistant actually responds to queries (menu, prices, delivery) in Ukrainian and English, recognizes orders/hot leads, and sends notifications to the "Kitchen" panel — exactly the functionality outlined in point 4 of the specifications.
I also attach the architecture concept: Instagram DM → Make.com → OpenAI API → notifications in Telegram chat for staff.
I am attaching the files to the feedback.
Regarding the cost: €550 for the MVP turnkey (bots based on your establishment's menu/conditions, bilingualism, integration with Telegram notifications, setting up Instagram Business). The timeline is 3-4 days from the start.
Since this project is a pilot with the prospect of collaboration on other clients, I am ready to discuss more flexible terms for future launches (a separate rate for support/updating the knowledge base monthly).
I would be happy to discuss the details and adapt the demo to your actual menu.

Good day!
Instagram Direct bot for a sushi bar in Vienna - consultation on the menu, order closure, notifications in Telegram. Understood.

Regarding the stack - I recommend Make.com + OpenAI API + Meta Business API:
Make.com catches new messages in Instagram Direct → forwards to OpenAI with a knowledge base (menu, prices, delivery conditions) → response is returned to the client.
Upon detecting an order intent — Make.com sends a notification to the Telegram chat of the staff.
The knowledge base is updated without a programmer (Google Docs or Notion).
Why not ManyChat: ManyChat is more expensive and less flexible for AI responses based on your menu. Make.com + OpenAI provides a real intelligent dialogue, not just buttons.
Two languages UA/EN - implemented automatically through the prompt, other languages can be added later without rework.

Cases: I developed a Telegram bot for a car service with FSM logic and data retention - similar message processing architecture and lead transfer. Instagram-specific is new, but technically identical.

Cost: from 6,500 UAH / Term: 7-9 days after receiving the knowledge base (menu, prices, delivery conditions).

Potential for the agency: the template after the pilot can be scaled to other clients in 1-2 days - just change the knowledge base.
Send the menu and delivery conditions - let's get started.

Good day!

I have experience in developing AI bots using Python/FastAPI with OpenAI API, knowledge bases, multilingual responses, and integrations with Telegram and external services. For this project, I would propose an Instagram/ManyChat connection + my own AI backend to ensure stable operation, flexible logic, and the ability to scale the solution to other agency clients.

The bot will be able to consult on the menu, assist with selections, determine the user's language, and pass hot leads or orders to a Telegram chat for the staff. I already have the architecture for such a solution developed, so I can implement a pilot quickly.

I am a Python developer with experience in developing AI agents, including for Instagram, so I can implement your project "turnkey."

For development, we will use Python, OpenAI API, SendPulse API, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and Telegram Bot API. If necessary, we will implement a RAG system so that the AI responds solely based on the menu, prices, and other information about your establishment.

We will also implement support for multiple languages, automatic notifications about new orders in Telegram, and stable operation 24/7.

I have practical experience working with all these technologies. I am ready to discuss the details and start working immediately.

Hello, Ivan! An excellent case for the restaurant niche. I fully understand the specifics of the European HoReCa market, where response speed in Direct directly affects conversion to orders. I am ready to develop a smart and stable AI assistant for your pilot project based on the official ManyChat (as a reliable transport layer that excludes Meta blocks) and OpenAI API for deep language logic.

Since this is a pilot for an agency aimed at scaling in Europe, I propose a hybrid and maximally cost-effective support architecture:

1. ManyChat as the frontend: The bot instantly intercepts triggers in Instagram Direct 24/7. Unlike custom scripts on pure webhooks, ManyChat is officially approved by Meta and will not put the account at risk of being banned.
2. OpenAI API as the "brain" (System prompt + Hallucination Guard): I will write a strict system instruction. The bot will know the sushi bar menu by heart, including composition, prices, and delivery zones. I will integrate hallucination protection — if a client asks for something not in the knowledge base, the bot will not make up answers but will politely transfer the dialogue to a human.
3. Seamless Multilang (UA/EN/DE): The neural network will recognize the client's language on the fly and respond in the same language. You won’t have to create dozens of heavy scenario branches in the builder for each language — everything is processed within a single system window.
4. Routing in Telegram: As soon as the client confirms the order composition and leaves contact details, the data is instantly formatted and sent via Telegram Bot API to a closed chat with your kitchen in a neat card.

I will test all the logic of integrations and prompts on real scenarios. I will provide you with a clean, scalable template that you can easily adapt for the next clients of your agency.

Please let me know if the menu and delivery conditions are already structured in a text file/table, or if the data needs to be extracted from an existing website/PDF file? Expand

Hello. I offer an architectural solution based on the OpenAI API for natural language processing and a custom backend for integration with Instagram Direct, managing a knowledge base, and reliable data exchange with Telegram. This will ensure high stability, easy scalability, and support for multilingualism with a focus on the security of sensitive client and order data. I have successful experience in developing similar chatbots for the HoReCa and e-commerce sectors, which allows for the use of ready-made modules and optimized scripts to speed up development.

As I understand, you want to resell this bot as a service to others in the future. I deal with SEO and web aspects more as a hobby; I mainly focus on the backend part and internal logic. Therefore, for the website in the future for B2B, I can develop payment, subscriptions, setup, and connections for the AI bot to others. I can currently develop the foundation and connect it specifically to your local setup, and in the future, once the site is ready, we can discuss connections for B2B. I do not sell this software; the code and database remain with me, and I will handle the hosting, which will need to be paid monthly. Development will take about 2 weeks. Once I see the technical specifications, I can provide an exact cost and timeline.

Hello!

I am interested in your pilot project for creating an AI assistant for a sushi bar in Vienna. The task is absolutely clear: a reliable system is needed that not only engages in conversation but also functions as a full-fledged digital manager—consulting on the menu, closing the client on orders, and instantly transmitting accurate data to the kitchen.

I specialize in creating commercial multi-page online stores and landing pages, so I deeply understand the customer journey from product selection to the cart. My work is focused on the European and Ukrainian markets, allowing me to create solutions tailored to the current needs of the audience.

Here’s how I envision the technical implementation of your project:

Logic and interface (ManyChat): Creating a reliable dialogue structure that intercepts messages in Instagram Direct 24/7.

The "brain" of the bot (OpenAI API): My strong suit is writing strict, precise system prompts for neural networks. The bot will receive strict instructions: it will know the menu by heart, respond in the client's language (Ukrainian, English, or German—translation occurs on the fly without creating separate branches), and will never invent non-existent dishes or delivery conditions.

Automation (Make.com): Setting up seamless integration so that each confirmed order is instantly sent to your closed Telegram chat for kitchen staff in a convenient text format.

Regarding cases, timelines, and costs:
Since my main profile is the development of online stores and comprehensive business packaging, I propose to make it more efficient than just showcasing past work. I am ready to quickly assemble a basic working prototype of the bot specifically for your menu so you can immediately see its logic in action.

Timeline: 5–7 days for complete setup, integration of all services, and thorough testing.

Estimated cost: 10,000-13,000 UAH (I am ready to discuss the final budget after reviewing your knowledge base and menu).

Feel free to reach out! I offer a comprehensive approach to your task and quick execution without compromising quality. Expand

Hello. My name is Volodymyr, I am a Python and Node.js developer, as well as the founder of the engineering agency Vaysed. I have carefully reviewed your task regarding the creation of a smart AI chatbot on Instagram for a sushi bar in Vienna, with subsequent order redirection to Telegram.

Instead of using builders like ManyChat or Make, which have limitations in flexibility and scalability, I propose to build a stable custom microservice solution. The core of the system should be developed in Python using FastAPI or Node.js, connecting to the official Meta Graph API for stable and legal interaction with Instagram Direct. To ensure multilingual support and natural communication, we will integrate the OpenAI API, uploading your knowledge base for accurate consulting on the menu, roll ingredients, and delivery conditions. All completed orders and hot leads will be instantly routed through the Telegram API to a closed staff chat.

I have direct relevant experience in developing similar systems for e-commerce and restaurants. For example, I created the Prudbay Clothes support bot for automating order management, and I also developed the Vaysed Pizza solution. I have successfully implemented reliable server architecture, payment processing, and complex data routing between platforms in large-scale projects like PAYBACK CARTEL and RESTART 2026.

The estimated development time, prompt setup, and integration testing will take about two to three weeks. I will be able to calculate the exact cost after analyzing the volume of your knowledge base and sales logic.

Ready to create an Instagram assistant for your sushi bar — so the bot can accept orders, provide menu suggestions, and pass hot leads to you on Telegram. The client writes in direct → receives an instant response and steps through to placing an order.

I will do it on ManyChat + OpenAI: the bot maintains a communication script, recognizes questions in a free style, and guides to delivery. I will connect it directly to your Telegram — each new lead comes to you as a separate message, nothing gets lost.

Setting up ManyChat — receiving messages from Direct, keywords, Fallback to AI
Connecting OpenAI — the bot responds humanely, knows the menu and prices
Integration with Telegram — notifications about new clients in real-time
Testing logic on real scenarios and adjustments before launch

I am currently completely free — no other projects in progress. I will start today: first, I will draft the dialogue scheme based on your menu and frequency of inquiries, then I will message you in chat very quickly.

I will do it efficiently and without delays. If you want to update or change anything after delivery — I will remain in touch, helping without additional payment.

Good day, Ivan! Proposal regarding architecture: if ManyChat already reliably maintains integration with Instagram Direct, there is no need to rewrite it from scratch - I suggest keeping ManyChat as the transport layer, while the brain is processed in an external OpenAI processor via webhook. This provides control over consulting on menu/prices/delivery based on your knowledge base, natural dialogue behavior, and a confidence threshold for passing complex cases to a human. Notifications about new orders in the Telegram staff chat - I have already implemented such a pattern (webhook alerts via Telegram Bot API on a travel aggregator with full CI/CD, github.com/slonce70/fasttravel). Cases: own AI products with Gemini/OpenAI API with structured outputs and validation (github.com/slonce70/promAI), RAG bot with hybrid search across the knowledge base (github.com/slonce70/youtube_helper). I haven't created a direct Instagram restaurant bot yet, but the pattern "AI understands intent - consults - closes on order - notifies the team" is exactly what I am building in other AI agents. Two languages (Ukrainian/English) with one prompt - no problem. Approximately 400-500 EUR for the pilot, 7-9 days. If it leads to ongoing collaboration with other clients - I am ready to discuss a retainer.

Need an Instagram bot that consults clients of a sushi bar in Vienna and forwards hot leads to the kitchen without staff involvement.

I would do it like this: Instagram Webhook via Meta API receives messages in direct, forwards them to a Python service with OpenAI GPT-4o-mini, which responds based on the knowledge base (menu, prices, delivery conditions). When a client confirms an order or asks for the price of a specific item without further clarification, the bot sends a structured alert to Telegram via Bot API. The key risk here: Instagram allows responding in direct only within 24 hours after the last client message, so the bot must record the timestamp and not send messages outside the window to avoid account restrictions.

How many items are in the menu, and is there already a structured price list, or will it be necessary to independently form the knowledge base from PDF/photos?
