A developer with a background outside of traditional tech has built a Telegram-based AI assistant named Jimi. The assistant utilizes a FastAPI backend for its core logic, allowing for flexibility across different messaging platforms. Jimi employs a multi-LLM fallback system, prioritizing OpenAI's GPT-4o mini but switching to Gemini and DeepSeek if the primary model is unavailable or rate-limited. A significant cost realization was that voice interactions, particularly text-to-speech, are substantially more expensive than text-based interactions, leading to a revised monetization strategy where voice features will be premium.
