Food and specialist retail: AI enquiry assistant for preserve makers
An AI enquiry assistant for preserve makers that answers questions about jar sizes, packaging options and ingredients from approved product information and passes anything uncertain to a person.
Which questions preserve makers keep getting.
Preserve makers get the same questions over and over: does this chutney come in a small jar, can I order a gift box with mixed flavours, is there gluten in the mustard sauce, how long does an opened jar keep. The answer is somewhere on the site, on the label or in the owner's head. Some of those questions concern allergens or shelf life, where a wrong answer has real consequences. An assistant that starts guessing is worse than none at all. Yet you do not want every simple question about a jar size to take time from someone who should be at the stove.

The assistant only uses information you have released: product sheets with jar sizes, packaging options such as gift boxes and tasting sets, ingredient lists from the current recipe version and general storage advice. Trade prices and recipes in development stay out. When a product sheet changes, the assistant works from the new version.
Place and check the question
For each question the assistant finds the product and packaging it concerns. If the question is clear and the answer is in the sources, it replies with a reference to that product. For allergens it quotes the ingredient list word for word and adds that the label on the jar is authoritative.
Hand over when unsure
Questions about medical diets, large trade orders, private label or anything not in the sources go to a member of staff. The visitor leaves an email address and the question arrives with the full conversation attached. Nobody has to start over, and your colleague knows what has already been said.
On your own information, with a person behind it.
Product information is currently spread across the online shop, recipe sheets and label files. We pick one source per type of information: the recipe file for ingredients, the shop's product management for jar sizes and options. The assistant reads from those sources and never writes to them. Handed over questions arrive in the inbox or customer system you already use. Whoever manages product information also remains responsible for what the assistant may say.
Answer allergen questions or always hand over
The ingredient list is known, so the assistant can say what is in a product. Questions about traces or cross contact in the kitchen are harder. Some makers let the assistant quote the list only and hand over every follow-up; others provide a fixed, approved statement about kitchen practice. That is a choice you make in advance.
Website only or email as well
An assistant on the site handles visitor questions. The same sources can also prepare a draft reply to incoming email, which a colleague checks and sends. That second option gives more control and is a good starting point if you are still unsure about an assistant that replies on its own.
Handle trade questions or pass them on
A retailer asking about minimum orders or wholesale prices is a potential customer. The assistant can explain general terms, but a concrete price belongs in a conversation. Passing it on with the key details already filled in keeps that lead from sitting in a general inbox.
What the AI assistant may answer.
Questions about jar sizes, packaging options and ingredients are answered by the assistant from the product sheets; everything else goes to a colleague. We try it with a series of real questions from your inbox and with tricky cases, such as someone asking whether a product is suitable during pregnancy. Suggested replies in the mailbox and a separate route for business questions can be switched on once the answers on the site are right.
View pricingSupport and updatesGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsWhat does the assistant say when a product is temporarily unavailable?
If availability is held in product management, the assistant says the product is not available right now and, where known, when it is expected back. If it does not know, it says so and offers to pass the question on. It never makes its own estimate.
Can the assistant take orders?
No. It points to the online shop for regular orders and passes trade requests to a member of staff. An order needs payment, an address and confirmation, and that belongs in a process you already run and can check.
How do we check what the assistant says?
Every conversation is stored and can be read back. You might review weekly which questions were asked, which were handed over and where an answer fell short. A mistake is fixed in the source, not in the assistant, so product information is right everywhere.
Does the assistant work in German or French too?
Yes, if product information exists in those languages. Without translated sources the assistant can translate on the fly, but we advise against that for ingredients and allergens. In that case it sticks to passing the question to someone who knows for certain.
