How the AI Assistant works
- 1
Tell it what you want
For example: "A hot water cylinder service is $195 now, not $175."
- 2
Check the change
See the before and after. Approve it, tweak it or say no.
- 3
Test it straight away
Call your Jodie number, or play the caller in a text roleplay.
Every change waits for your OK
Approve it, then hear it
A change goes live once you approve it. Test it straight away by playing the caller in your browser. No real customer hears a test.
- Make several changes, then approve them together
- Ask about your calls, like who needs a callback
Jodie asks when she gets stuck
A caller asks if you install heat pumps. Jodie takes a message, then asks you what to say. Answer once and she remembers it.
From your phone, between jobs
The Assistant has its own tab in the Jodie app. Hear something off on a call? Tap Fix it, and the Assistant suggests a change.
