Description

Lynna serves as an AI-powered assistant that addresses inquiries from website visitors by utilizing the specific content found on a business's own website, documents, and notes. Businesses can implement Lynna by integrating a snippet for a chat side panel or by distributing a hosted page along with a QR code. The assistant not only delivers responses with links to the original sources but also directs unanswered queries, requests for human interaction, and other cases requiring human discretion to the appropriate team members. Additionally, staff can allocate questions to specific branches or departments and respond via email; these replies can also be archived in the knowledge base for future reference. Lynna boasts features such as website crawling, document uploads, tracking conversation history, summarizing knowledge gaps, and managing visitor data controls. This AI tool is tailored for businesses in the UK that frequently handle customer inquiries, catering to a diverse range of sectors including letting agents, tradespeople, salons, clinics, professional services, and various other local enterprises. By streamlining the process of responding to customer queries, Lynna enhances overall efficiency and customer satisfaction.
