AI Chat Agent — An Assistant That Answers From What You Teach It

The AI Chat agent answers your visitors from your own pages and catalogue, and hands over to a person when it should. Start here, then follow the topic pages.

4 min read Updated 16 hours ago

The AI Chat agent is an assistant that talks to your visitors: it answers from what you have
taught it, searches your catalogues, and hands the conversation to a person when it should. It never invents a price, a
stock level or a promise — it can only repeat what your catalogue, your sources and your
offers actually returned.

There is one assistant per account. Everything it is — what it knows, how it behaves, what it
may see, who it hands over to — is set once under AI Chat → Settings. A campaign changes how
it looks and when it shows, never what it may say.

The same assistant has two faces: this chat window, and an ask box that answers a question in place.
See AI Search for the box.

This guide

Page What it covers
Knowledge What it may answer from — sources, re-reading, tags, and the storage limit
Behaviour, handover & leads What it can do, what it must never say, when it fetches a person, and how an email becomes a profile
Visitor data & catalogue What it knows about the person in front of it, which feeds it may search, and how long transcripts are kept
Appearance & placements Colours, the teaser card, attachments, reading answers aloud, and what a campaign may override
Offers The only way the assistant is allowed to mention a discount, and who may hear the code
Operators & conversations Your team’s screen, the queue, blocking, transcripts and reporting
AI Search The ask box — including the results-only mode that lists findings without writing an answer

Where everything lives

Under AI Chat in the menu:

Screen What it holds
Overview Is it on, is anybody using it, and where does it appear
Settings Where it appears · Behaviour · Knowledge · Data
Appearance Colours, the button, the teaser card, attachments, branding
Conversations The queue, what it could not answer, and every transcript
Offers What it is allowed to offer, and to whom
People Who can take over, and who is blocked

Before a visitor can see it

  1. The AI Chat module is active — activate it, or start the free trial, on the
    Add-ons page in the account menu.
  2. The assistant is switched on on Overview: “Off — nothing answers anywhere,
    whatever the campaigns say.”
  3. It has been taught something. With no sources it answers “I cannot confirm that” to
    almost everything, which reads as broken.
  4. A published campaign carries it. A campaign left in testing reaches nobody but you.

Putting it on your site

Create a campaign from Create new and pick AI Search & Chat:
“One assistant, answering from your own pages and catalog — as a chat bubble, a search-style ask box, or
both. Hands over to a person when it should.”

The wizard walks the four account-level steps — Behaviour, Knowledge,
Data and Greeting — then the ordinary campaign steps. The
Content step is where the two faces diverge: add a chat, an ask box, or both.

There is a second route for adding another placement later: Settings → Where it appears → Put it
somewhere else
.

Two chat windows never open on one page. Where several campaigns would each place a bubble, the
highest-priority one wins and the rest stand down. An ask box is not a window, so it is not
counted — a box in the page and a bubble in the corner coexist.

What it can and cannot do

  • It can search your knowledge base, your products and your articles, pull one product’s full
    record, state an offer you wrote, and hand over to a person where that is allowed.
  • It cannot look up an order, an account or any personal record. It is told it is talking to a
    stranger.
  • It will not state a price or a stock level from memory — only what the catalogue returned in
    that conversation — and it cannot mention a discount that is not an
    offer you entered.
  • It does not book meetings. Book a meeting is a separate action with its own screens; it is
    not something the assistant can do mid-conversation.

What it costs

A paid module, billed by the conversation: a monthly price for the module, an allowance of
conversations included, and a usage price beyond it. The allowance grows with your plan, and there is a free trial.
Current prices and allowances are on the Add-ons page — that screen is the authority, not this
one.

The conversations per cycle cap is your ceiling: past it the assistant stops answering new
conversations rather than quietly running up a bill, and anyone mid-conversation is allowed to finish. When an allowance
is spent the chat switches itself off rather than appearing and failing.

An ask box set to list results without writing an answer costs no AI credit at all, and
does not count as a conversation.
