How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats user asks another question.

The problem it solves

XML feeds are full of useful data but they're built for machines, not people. Finding a specific value means scrolling through nested tags and guessing at the structure.

Who it fits

Teams working with product feeds, API data, or system exports who need quick answers without a developer.

How it works

  1. You provide the link to an XML feed
  2. The system fetches and parses the feed into a readable structure
  3. You ask a question in a chat window, like what products are out of stock
  4. The AI reads the parsed data and answers based on what it finds
What you get

Answers about your feed without digging

You get plain-English answers about any XML feed by asking a question in a simple chat window.

What you get

A conversational answer pulled directly from the XML feed's data.

What you need

An OpenAI account and access to the XML feed's web address.

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.
