AI assistants

# An assistant in your app that knows your business.

Mousepad can add a chat assistant that answers questions from your app's own information, like your services, your hours, and a customer's bookings. Ask for voice, and people can talk to it.

Northside Plumbing

Add an assistant to our site that answers questions about our services, the areas we cover, and our hours, by chat or out loud.

An illustration: a sample business's site with its assistant. Yours answers from your own app's information.

## What you can ask for

Say what the assistant should help with, and who it's for: visitors, signed-in customers, or your staff.

- **No. 0910** 10:25 **Yoga studio** Add a chat assistant to the member page that tells signed-in members which classes they've booked this week.
- **No. 0917** 12:40 **Bakery** Add a voice assistant to my bakery site so people can ask what's baking this weekend and when we open, out loud or by typing.
- **No. 0923** 2:55 **Print shop** Add an assistant to our staff page that finds a customer's last three orders when we ask for them by name.
- **No. 0929** 4:30 **Landscaping** Add an assistant to my site that explains our services and prices and points people to the quote form.

Example orders. The numbers and times on the tickets are invented.

## How it works

1. **Ask for it**Say what the assistant should help with and what it should leave alone. Mousepad builds it into your app, along with the Cloud it runs on.
2. **Try it, then change it**Ask it questions in the preview, as a customer and as staff, then ask Mousepad to change its tone, its answers, or what it can look up.
3. **Publish it**It goes live with your site, on the pages you chose.

## How the assistant works

It runs on your app's server, looks things up through your app, and only sees what the person asking is allowed to see.

- **Answers from your app's information** Included It looks things up in your app, like your services, your open times, or a customer's bookings, when it answers.
- **Only what that person may see** Included Lookups run with the signed-in person's own permissions, so customers can only ask about their own records.
- **Asks before changing anything** Included If you let it change something, like moving a booking, it asks the person to confirm first.
- **Voice, where the browser allows it** Included People press a button to talk and hear a short spoken reply, with the words on screen too.
- **No AI account to set up** Included The assistant runs in your app's server functions. There's no AI key to get or paste.

## Questions

**What can the assistant answer?**

What your app knows and what you tell Mousepad it should cover: your services, hours, and prices, and, for someone signed in, their own bookings or orders. Ask Mousepad to keep it to topics about your business.

**Can people talk to it?**

Yes, if you ask for voice. People press a button to talk, hear a short spoken reply, and see the words on screen. Voice is in English for now, in browsers that allow the microphone, and typing always works.

**Where does the voice go?**

Speech goes from the browser straight to Amazon Transcribe over a one-time link, and replies are spoken by Amazon Polly. The audio doesn't pass through your app's server.

**Can it answer patients' health questions?**

No. Use it for questions about your business, products and services.
