Absolutely. You can build your own customer chat software—for example, a web-based live-chat system where customers chat with your support team.

A good first version could include:

Customer live chat — customers can start conversations from your website.

Agent dashboard — support staff can see and reply to chats.

Real-time messages — messages appear instantly without refreshing.

Multiple agents — assign conversations to different agents.

File/image sharing

Online/offline status

Customer name, email, phone

Chat history & search

Optional AI chatbot

Admin dashboard — chats, agents, response time, etc.

Login and permissions

Mobile-friendly interface

Agent Dashboard
For a modern, scalable version, I'd suggest React/Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL + WebSockets, with the option to add Redis later.

If you tell me whether you want this for your own company website or as a SaaS product that other companies can subscribe to, I can design the complete software structure, database, screens, technology stack, and development roadmap for you.

For customer chat software development, here’s one agent hosting option.

Like telegram or something like this

Yes. If you mean a complete messaging platform like Telegram, that's much bigger than a simple customer-support chat.

You could build your own app with:

Core features
1-to-1 private messaging

Group chats

Channels

Voice messages

Photo/video/file sharing

Message reactions

Reply/forward/edit/delete messages

Typing and online status

Read/delivery receipts

Push notifications

Search through chats

User profiles

Block/report users

Multi-device login

Desktop + Android + iPhone + Web

For your business
You could also add:

Business accounts

Customer-support inbox

Multiple support agents

Automated chatbot

Customer/agent assignment

Chat history

Admin panel

Analytics

Important: You don't need to build "Telegram" all at once. We can first build Version 1 with registration → contacts → 1-to-1 chat → groups → file sharing → notifications, then add advanced features.

If you want, I can help you actually develop it step-by-step, including the database, backend, Android app, web app, and server setup.

Normal simple for windows computer I can install and once cx open and cx can chat with me

Yes — that is much simpler. You want a Windows customer chat application, not a full Telegram.
