AutoGo started as a bold attempt to create the ultimate driver-ride management app. The idea was simple:
- Customers call the call center to book rides.
- Agents create bookings and assign them to drivers.
- Drivers accept bookings and complete rides using our super-cool algorithm.
- Sounds amazing, right? Well... it was, until we hit a wall. đź§±
Why Did We Fail?
-
Maps API Costs: Turns out, mapping the world is expensive. Like, really expensive.
-
Affordability Issues: The local communities who loved our app couldn’t afford the high costs associated with it.
-
So, we had to go back to the drawing board. And guess what? We came up with something even better. 🎉
Why build a costly app when we can leverage Telegram? Everyone already uses it, and it’s free! So, we reimagined AutoGo as a Telegram-based booking and driver management system. Here’s what makes it awesome:
- 📞 Booking Creation: Customers call, agents create bookings directly on Telegram.
- đźš— Driver Assignment: Our cool algorithm finds the nearest driver to the booking.
- 🗺️ Driver Tracking: Track drivers in real-time (without breaking the bank).
- đź’¸ Cost-Effective: All the features, at a fraction of the cost.
- 🤖 Automation Galore: We automate everything because we’re engineers who love to make life easier.
It’s so simple, even your grandma could do it! 🧓
- Get Your Bot Token: Create a bot on Telegram using BotFather and grab the token.
- Enter the Token: Paste the token into the project.
- Press F5: That’s it! AutoGo will handle everything else for you.
We’ve automated the setup so you can focus on the fun stuff. 🎉
- No More Expensive APIs: We ditched the costly Maps API and embraced Telegram’s simplicity.
- Community-Friendly: Designed for local communities who need affordable solutions.
- Scalable & Fun: Whether it’s 10 drivers or 10,000, AutoGo scales like a champ.
- Built by Engineers Who Care: We’re a group of passionate engineers who love solving problems and automating everything.
We’re just getting started! Here’s what’s on the roadmap:
🌍 Multi-Language Support: Because everyone deserves a great experience. 📊 Analytics Dashboard: Insights into bookings, drivers, and more. 🤝 Community Contributions: Got ideas? Let’s build them together!
