Notes — About this demo
What's real and what isn't.
- 01Fettle Trade Supply is a made-up business in Sheffield. The products, stock and prices are sample data.
- 02The replies are scripted to show how a live assistant behaves. A real one would read your own catalogue and stock, and hand over to a person when it isn't sure.
- 03It works as a help assistant for any business that answers the same questions every day, not only shops.
