Is it mobile friendly?
Yes. The widget and embeds work well on desktop and mobile with no separate experience needed.
What's the fastest path to a successful deployment?
Start with one assistant and a small set of high-value sources. Iterate using real questions from analytics.
What is the fastest way to get started?
Create an account. Connect one key source. Ask a test question, brand the assistant, then publish it on one page.
