SUPPORT YOUR TEAM

An AI inquiry assistant for your small-business website.

Use an AI assistant to answer questions from approved information, collect inquiry details, and hand complex requests to staff.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Where this helps.

Visitors need basic information or a way to explain their needs when the business is closed or the team is busy.

How the workflow works.

Start with a clear trigger

Build an approved set of answers covering services, hours, and the next step.

Handle the routine work

Let visitors ask questions and provide the minimum details needed for follow-up.

Close the loop

Create a clear staff handoff when the question is outside the approved information.

START SMALL

A practical first pilot.

Start on one service page with a narrow scope. Show how to contact a person and review unanswered questions to improve the knowledge source.

Record the current process before changing it: who does the work, how often it happens, and how many minutes it takes. Run a limited pilot, review exceptions, and compare the result with the original process.

What to measure.

Useful inquiries captured; questions answered from approved sources; handoffs; incorrect answers; visitor abandonment.

Compare the time saved with setup, software, and ongoing review costs. Treat improvements as something to measure in your business.

Where people stay involved.

Clearly identify an automated assistant. Do not invent prices, availability, policies, or commitments, and avoid collecting information the team does not need.

A COMMON QUESTION

How is this different from a contact form?

An assistant can clarify a visitor’s question and answer routine questions before collecting an inquiry. A straightforward contact form may be sufficient when visitors already know what they need.

Decide what is worth automating.
