A chatbot that knows your documents

Certant answers from your own documents and shows the page each answer came from. When it doesn't know, it says so.

Runs in Certant Cloud, your cloud, or fully air-gapped.

Do first-year apprentices get legal cover?
Searching 3 documents
Yes. First-year apprentices are covered from the day their membership is activated. The fund covers workplace disputes and disciplinary matters, and criminal defence is excluded.

What did the fund pay out last year?

I can't find that figure in the documents I can read. I can pass this to member services with the conversation attached, or you can upload the annual report and I'll cite it next time.

The difference

Three questions put to both chatbots

The same three questions, put to a typical FAQ widget and to a Certant chatbot reading the same policy library.

Cites the document

Certant will not make an answer up. When the documents don't cover it, it says what it does have and what you would need to upload.

What you get

Answers people can check

A chatbot is only worth having if people believe what it tells them.

Answers come with their sources

It doesn't answer unless it can point at the source. Members and customers see which document and section the answer came from, and one click opens it.

AnswerExample

Membership renews on 1 July each year. You can pay for the year in one go or in monthly instalments.

Answers in the language it was asked in

Certant works out the language from the question and answers in it. Your source documents stay as they are.

Asked in FrenchExample
Quand dois-je renouveler mon adhésion ?
Votre adhésion se renouvelle le 1er juillet de chaque année.
Constitution v12.pdf · §3.1

The constitution is written in English. The answer comes back in French.

Add it with a script tag

Add one script tag to any page you already run. The bot brings your brand and your knowledge base with it, and you don't need an iframe or a rebuild.

Support that hands over cleanly

Connects your help-centre articles, product docs and shipping policies, so the bot handles the easy questions and hands the rest to a person with the conversation attached.
