Data sources

Train the AI with data about your store, products, services to provide better and more accurate responses

Who can use this feature?

  • This feature is available for all users

Our AI assistant is still in beta version. If you have any concerns or feedbacks, please contact us to share and help us improve Chatty.

Why add data sources

We've trained AI on your own data. By adding your own data sources, you can train AI assistant about your specific products, services, and business policies.

This helps the AI give more accurate and personalized responses to your customers.
