Keep the task bounded
Define the topics, user roles and information the assistant may use. Pricing, availability and other changing facts need an authoritative source or a clear human route.
AI Assistants & Chatbots
Helpful conversation. A clear human handoff.
AI chatbot and assistant development for bounded customer and team tasks. We connect approved information to a useful conversation, with source-aware answers, uncertainty handling and explicit access limits.
A conversation with boundaries
- 01
Ask
Understand the question within the agreed task.
- 02
Retrieve
Use relevant, permitted business information.
- 03
Handoff
Offer a clear route when a person is needed.
An example journey, shaped around your requirements.
Start with the real need
Help people find an answer without hiding the team.
An assistant can guide visitors through information or help staff find approved material. It should make the source and next step clearer, rather than act as an unrestricted substitute for the business.
Design for uncertainty
The assistant should recognise unsupported requests, ask a useful clarification and stop short of inventing an answer. Human takeover and evaluation belong in the product design.
A useful assistant can say: here is the source, and here is the next person to ask.
Scope shaped around your business
What the work can include.
The final deliverables depend on the brief. These are the areas we review together before the build starts.
01
Conversation discovery
Define users, tasks, channels and handoff expectations.
A bounded assistant brief.
02
Approved knowledge
Prepare permitted content and update responsibilities.
Source ownership and quality review.
03
Interaction design
Create answer patterns, clarifications and uncertainty behaviour.
Clear conversation states.
04
Channel and system integration
Connect approved website or business tools with limited permissions.
Explicit access and action boundaries.
05
Evaluation
Review representative requests, unsupported questions and source grounding.
A reusable quality check set.
06
Pilot and operating plan
Start with an agreed audience and monitor useful outcomes and cost.
Human ownership after launch.
Before we begin
Decisions that shape the result.
A useful conversation resolves the requirements, responsibilities and trade-offs before they become surprises.
Rules or generative AI?
Simple questions and fixed workflows may not need a generative model.
Discuss before build: Choose the approach around the task.
What facts change regularly?
An assistant needs a maintained source for changing operational information.
Discuss before build: Identify update ownership before launch.
Who handles escalation?
An unresolved conversation needs a real next step.
Discuss before build: Name the team or channel that takes over.
From brief to working release
A clear path through the work.
The scope and milestones are agreed around the project. Each stage has something concrete to review.
- 01
Discover
Understand the audience, objective, content and current systems.
A shared brief. - 02
Design
Review the information, interface and important journeys.
A concrete design to assess. - 03
Build & verify
Implement the agreed scope and check the complete journeys.
A release with acceptance evidence. - 04
Launch & improve
Plan the switch, handover and ongoing responsibilities.
Ownership after launch.
Good questions
A clearer starting point.
Answers to the practical questions that often come before a project brief.
Can the chatbot answer from our website?
Approved public content can be used as a source. We review its quality and define how changing information is refreshed.
Can it book or modify records?
Actions require a separate explicit scope with approved tools, permissions and validation. Answering questions does not automatically authorise record changes.
How do you prevent invented answers?
Source grounding, evaluation and uncertainty rules can reduce the risk, but no system should be assumed perfectly accurate. Important tasks need appropriate review.
Can it work on WhatsApp?
A supported WhatsApp channel can be scoped with current platform requirements, account setup and the agreed consent flow.
What should we prepare?
Provide approved content, examples of common questions and a clear escalation owner. The readiness guide helps identify the main gaps.
