  "account": "The article discusses the author's experience using Qwen3.8-Max to build two AI-powered Telegram bots. The first bot is designed to assist customers in booking car repair appointments by gathering vehicle details, addressing issues, providing pricing information, and scheduling convenient visit times. The second bot caters to furniture companies by taking kitchen measurements, answering questions about customization options, calculating costs, delivering final estimates, and arranging a design session at the company office.\n\nThe author emphasizes the impressive performance of Qwen3.8-Max, noting that it completed the tasks autonomously, including questioning itself at each stage and adjusting its reasoning and code. The token usage for the bots was approximately 12.8 million, which is significantly lower than that of DeepSeek V4 Flash Latest, which consumed over 15 million tokens for similar output results. The author also highlights the efficiency of the development process using Kodik, a next-generation AI IDE developed by ArchiTech AI, a local company.
