The Potok Bot in Telegram

The Potok Bot is a Telegram chat bot for people search. You send a short description of a role and company (for example, “Head of e‑commerce at XYZ” or “Director of Sales, Shopify”), and the bot looks for matching people on the open internet and returns likely full names and possible work emails.

• ✓ Works as a normal Telegram chat, no extra applications or registrations are required.
• ✓ You can write any combination of job title, company name and extra hints in free text.
• ✓ For each query, the bot uses external search and language models to analyse public internet sources.
• ✓ It responds with candidates: full name, role and one or two likely work email patterns based on the name and domain.

1. The user opens the bot in Telegram and writes what they know about the person: job position, company, and any other useful details. Step 1
2. The bot sends the text to its backend, which prepares search queries and looks for relevant public information on the internet. Step 2
3. Search results are analysed by language models that try to identify the most likely person or several candidates for the described role. Step 3
4. The bot replies in the Telegram chat with a short summary: names, positions and possible work email addresses, or a message that nothing suitable was found. Step 4
