For growing businesses

Answer customers at any hour, from your own prices and policies.

An assistant on your website or chat channels that answers from your own records, and hands over to a person when a person should decide.

  • No tech team needed
  • Your staff test it first
  • You set the handover rules

Most of what your customers and staff ask already has an answer somewhere in your business. Opening hours. Prices. Order status. The leave policy. An assistant finds that answer at any hour, and passes everything else to the right person on your team.

Three assistants

How it works

It works from the records and tools you already keep.

Prices, policies, opening hours and order status come from what you already have, on your website or chat channels.

If the answer isn't in your records, a person takes it.

It hands the conversation to your staff.

Answers come from your documents.

Your price list, policies, handbook and the booking or order system you already use. We agree the sources in the written scope, and build it with your team in the room.

  • Price list
  • Policies
  • Opening hours
  • Handbook
  • Booking calendar

One set of answers, wherever customers ask.

The same records answer on your website and your chat channels, at any hour.

How it starts

Three steps to a working assistant.

You know what it will do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

  1. Step 1

    One call

    We talk through your business and choose the first job for the assistant.

  2. Step 2

    A written scope

    Before any work begins, you get in writing what it answers, what it hands over and what it connects to.

  3. Step 3

    Tested, then live

    Your team tests the working assistant on real questions before customers see it.

What stays human

A person stays in charge.

You decide where the assistant stops. We set these handover rules with you before it goes live.

  1. IfA customer asks for a refund or an exception to your policy

    ThenIt gathers the facts and hands over to your staff.

  2. IfSomeone is upset

    ThenIt passes the conversation to a person straight away.

  3. IfA question touches legal, health or safety matters

    ThenA person answers it, every time.

  4. IfA topic is on the list you keep for staff only

    ThenIt doesn't answer on its own and hands over.
