The problem it solves

You want a chatbot that can answer customer questions accurately, but generic AI tools make things up or answer questions you never wanted them to touch. Training a support agent to answer the same questions over and over also takes time you don't have.

Who it fits

Small service businesses, like travel agencies, that want a chatbot restricted to their own official information.

How it works

  1. Your reference document, like a policy guide or FAQ, is uploaded from Google Drive
  2. An AI assistant is created and given that document as its only source of truth
  3. A customer sends a message through the chat
  4. The assistant answers using only the uploaded document, remembering earlier parts of the conversation
What you get

Questions answered instantly from your documents

You get a chatbot that answers customer questions directly from your own documents, keeping replies accurate and consistent with your official information.

What you get

A chat assistant that answers customer questions accurately using only your own documents.

What you need

An OpenAI account and a Google Drive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
