Flagship platform direction

DriveDesk starts with an AI sales and support workflow operator.

The sharpest first slice: upload a call, transcript, document, or CRM lead; run RAG retrieval and call analysis; score the lead; draft a follow-up; approve it in Telegram; then create a CRM task or comment through an adapter contract.

Core Backend

Tenants, users, roles, records, workflow state, audit trail, outbox, OpenAPI, tests, and service contracts.

Integration Layer

Explicit adapters for CRM, ERP, 1C, banking/accounting APIs, custom databases, webhooks, spreadsheets, and files.

AI Operator Layer

Transcript/document/lead analysis with retrieval, citations, summaries, objections, risk flags, lead scoring, tasks, drafts, and human approval.

Operator Surface

Admin workflows, dashboards, queues, corrections, approvals, search, notifications, and role-specific handoff.

DevOps Layer

Docker, CI/release gates, smoke checks, logs, backups, deployment notes, rollback paths, and recovery procedures.

Business Outcome

A support or sales workflow that becomes inspectable: approved follow-ups, CRM tasks, audit trail, retries, and clear operator handoff.

How I Would Start

  1. 1Start with one call/transcript/lead workflow instead of promising a full-company platform on day one.
  2. 2Define ingestion, RAG, call-analysis JSON, approval states, audit events, and the first CRM adapter contract.
  3. 3Use n8n for webhook orchestration while backend owns state, RAG, retries, idempotency, and quality checks.
  4. 4Ship a fake CRM/Bitrix adapter first, then replace it with a real integration once the contract is proven.
  5. 5Publish screenshots, two-minute demo, tests, runbook, metrics/cost notes, and next integration plan.

Good First Slices

  • CRM/1C/banking/custom database integration adapter.
  • Document, ticket, order, or lead workflow with AI summary and human approval.
  • Internal admin panel replacing spreadsheet and chat operations.
  • Deployment and recovery hardening for an existing service.
  • Operating dashboard with statuses, logs, smoke checks, and handoff notes.

For Remote Roles

Best fit: backend/platform, AI automation, integration engineering, DevOps, internal tools, or business operations platforms where one person can own a real slice from unclear problem to verified delivery.
