Launch plan

A useful AI assistant starts with one narrow workflow.

Do not automate everything on day one. Pick the repeated questions that waste time, prepare clean knowledge and test with messages your customers already send.

1

Pick the first job

Choose one outcome: answer product questions, book appointments, qualify leads or route support.

2

Prepare clean knowledge

Upload focused FAQs, policies, prices, service menus, opening hours and booking rules.

3

Write human handoff rules

Stop automation for complaints, legal or medical advice, refunds, private data and low confidence.

4

Test real messages

Use vague questions, edge cases and objections before connecting live customer channels.

Useful setup questions

Make the page helpful for visitors and the AI helpful for customers.

Which use case should I launch first?

Start with the workflow that creates the most repeated messages: product questions for stores, booking requests for service businesses, qualification for lead-driven businesses.

How many documents should I upload?

Start with 5 to 12 focused sources: FAQ, prices, services, policies, booking rules, handoff rules and a few examples of good replies.

Are PDFs good for the knowledge base?

Text-based PDFs are fine for policies and manuals. For important answers, clean text, FAQ pages and simple service tables are easier to keep accurate.

What should never be automated?

Medical diagnosis, legal advice, final price negotiation, urgent complaints, private account data and refund exceptions should usually go to a person.

Start with one business workflow, then expand.

Connect one channel, upload the knowledge your team already uses and test the exact questions customers ask every week.
