Honest about its limits

What the digital assistant does and does not do.

A Chatunda assistant knows your business and answers the questions your visitors ask time and again. With the add-ons it does more, such as looking up an order or taking a request. What it never does: change, pay or promise anything itself. It prepares, you decide.

What every Chatunda assistant does

  • Answer questions about your policies: delivery times, shipping, returns, payment, opening hours, warranty, terms and conditions, and anything else you have recorded in your questionnaire
  • Actively direct visitors to the right page or e-mail address: your FAQ, returns page, contact page, size guide or sign-up form
  • Explain your policies and procedures, including the specific amounts and time frames you have provided
  • Ask clarifying questions and explain which steps the visitor can take themselves
  • Honestly say what it does not know, and then point the visitor towards you instead of making something up
  • Introduce itself as an AI assistant. It never pretends to be an employee
  • Answer day and night, in your base language, Dutch or English, and with the Second language add-on also in the other, on its own secure server in Europe
  • Speak in your tone: the form of address, style and words you chose in the questionnaire
  • Understand follow-up questions: "and what about that in the case of a return?" connects to what was said earlier in the conversation
  • Understand differently worded questions and typing mistakes. It then finds the most suitable wording itself
  • When someone makes a complaint or sends an angry message, first acknowledge what is going wrong, apologise and point them towards you
  • Politely reject inappropriate or harmful messages without entering into an argument
  • Learn immediately when you pass something on: a knowledge base request from Mijn Chatunda goes live within one working day
  • Remember the conversation: it keeps track of what it is about, what has already been told to the visitor and which order number or product was mentioned, and does not ask for the same information twice
  • Offer contact in the way an employee would: first help the visitor or ask what it is about, then mention the contact options you have enabled and ask for their preference, and only then put them through
  • Greet and say goodbye according to the time of day: good morning when greeting, have a nice evening when saying goodbye
  • Sit on your site the way you want: as a floating button bottom right, with a speech bubble that invites visitors, or fixed in a frame on a page. And only on the pages you choose
  • Help visitors along with buttons: below the welcome message, up to five topics that come up most for your business, and for each topic a few questions that are often asked about it. Clicking a question gives an answer from your knowledge base, always with your latest information, or the right next step, such as the message form or a link to your own page. It only shows buttons for what it can actually deliver, and visitors can always type their own question. If your digital assistant is already live, it gets them on request
  • Let visitors say whether an answer helped, with a thumbs up or down, and at the end of a conversation ask once, unobtrusively: Did this chat help you? That way you see in the monthly report how the conversations ended. The unanswered questions and low marks are in Mijn Chatunda under Open questions, and on Monday you get a short e-mail when there are new ones
  • A chat window everyone can use: fully operable with the keyboard and read aloud by a screen reader. While it looks up an answer, a line of text appears instead of typing dots, so nobody thinks a person is typing
  • If you want: let visitors keep their conversation with the Save conversation button, a text file made in their own browser, without e-mail and without storage on the server
  • Allow visitors to request or delete their own conversation simply by asking. A button then appears
  • Help as actively as you want: you choose the level of assistance reserved, helpful, active, advisory
  • Everything it does for you can be reviewed in Mijn Chatunda, your own environment: review, search and export conversations, handle messages and requests and answer them by e-mail, with a reminder when a request is left waiting, answer open questions, improve an answer with the pencil and send knowledge base requests, choose the retention period yourself and delete conversations, see what this month costs as the owner, and contact Chatunda. Secured with two-step verification, with your own owner profile

What you choose to add

These options are switched off by default. You choose them wherever suits you: on the pricing page, when signing up, through Liva's advice or at the start of the questionnaire. What you choose earlier is already ticked in the questionnaire, so the questionnaire and the verification round are tailored to it. Later you switch them on and off yourself as the owner in Mijn Chatunda, under Uitbreidingen (Add-ons). The digital assistant only mentions them when they are switched on.

  • Leave a message included at no extra cost
    A visitor leaves their e-mail address and question via a form the digital assistant offers in the conversation. The request reaches your mailbox within minutes and you contact them yourself. The digital assistant never promises a deadline or call-back time itself.
  • Contact plus € 15 per month
    Your phone number, WhatsApp or e-mail address as a button in the conversation, the moment a visitor wants contact. You choose whether that is only during your opening hours, with the call-back request or the form outside them, or always. Plain links: the digital assistant never calls or messages itself. Cancel monthly.
  • Second language € 19 per month
    You choose whether your digital assistant speaks Dutch or English. With this extension we also build your entire knowledge base in the other language, so a visitor gets an answer in the language they write in. Every later change is applied in both languages. It can be enabled at any time.
  • Live agent € 29 per month
    Read along in Mijn Chatunda with the conversations of your digital assistant and take one over whenever you want. The visitor then sees straight away that a person has joined. When you are online and a visitor wants to speak to a person, the digital assistant offers this and you get a notification on your phone. You then chat with the visitor yourself, and you can ask the assistant for help with your replies. The assistant works with your own knowledge base, so it knows your business well. 2 staff profiles are included. Each extra profile costs € 9 per month and can be cancelled monthly.How you use Live agent in Mijn Chatunda

Only for webshops on Shopify or WooCommerce

  • Order status € 29 per month
    The digital assistant looks up a visitor's order in your webshop (Shopify or WooCommerce) and says whether it has been paid, shipped or delivered, with the tracking link. Only after the order number plus a second detail from the confirmation e-mail (the e-mail address, the postcode or the total amount), read-only, and it never makes promises. If a parcel is late, it records the customer's preference and you receive a request with everything attached. If a customer wants to cancel, return or change the delivery address, it passes that on to you as a request, with reason and items. You decide and carry it out. Cancel monthly.Try it in the example shop
  • Product info € 19 per month
    When a visitor asks whether something is in stock, what it costs or which sizes or colours there are, the digital assistant looks the product up live in your webshop (Shopify or WooCommerce) and shows a card with the price, stock, versions and the link to the product page. Only what the shop says at that moment, never from memory. No advice, no discount, no reservation. Cancel monthly.Try it in the example shop

What it deliberately does not do

These limits always apply, also with add-ons. What an add-on adds is listed above, under what you choose to add.

  • Process returns, refunds or cancellations. With Order status it passes a cancellation or return request, and the preference for a lost parcel, on to you. You decide
  • Modify orders, addresses or account details. With Order status it passes a new delivery address on to you as a request
  • Grant discounts, vouchers or compensation
  • Send e-mails or schedule appointments itself. It can pass your message or call-back request on to the business, if the business has enabled that
  • Recommend specific products or give personalized product advice
  • Hand a conversation over live, call or call back itself. With Live agent the chat window itself offers a staff member when someone on your team is Online. It can show the call, WhatsApp or e-mail button of the business if it has Contact plus, the business calls you itself
  • View invoices, payments or customer accounts
  • Receive photos, files or attachments. The chat window only sends text
  • Connect to your booking or administration system. To your webshop read-only, via Order status

Why this way?

It prepares, you decide

The digital assistant answers on the basis of what you have recorded yourself and, with an add-on, on the basis of what your webshop says at that moment. This means you always know exactly what it can say, and it never says anything about an order, a customer or a payment that it cannot know about. If a visitor asks for an action, such as a cancellation, a return or a different delivery address, it only offers what you have enabled: passing the request on to you with everything needed, taking a message or call-back request, or showing your call, WhatsApp or e-mail button. Otherwise it explains what the visitor can do themselves, such as viewing the order confirmation or filling in the returns form. You decide and carry it out. It does not promise anything else, because that would be a promise it cannot keep.

Simplicity for you

No integrations by default, no plug-in, no maintenance on your side: one line of code on your website and the digital assistant works with any webshop or website system. If something changes in your policy, you pass it on in Mijn Chatunda as a knowledge base request and it is processed within one working day.

Safety for your visitors

By default the digital assistant does not look into anything, so it cannot leak anything or accidentally make changes. If it looks up an order with Order status, it does so only after the order number plus a second detail of the order, read-only, and the order number does not reach the AI model. With Product info it only shows what the shop says about a product, without customer details. Conversations are stored on your own server in Europe and are automatically deleted after ninety days. To produce an answer, only the question, the last messages of the conversation and the relevant knowledge go to OpenAI's AI model, without an IP address. Every message is checked for manipulation attempts before processing. Everything about security is on Security and your data.

One fixed price

Precisely because the digital assistant needs no integrations by default, it can be built and maintained in the same way for every business. That is why Chatunda can charge one price, with everything included, without additional work, with 500 conversations and 20 knowledge base requests per month. The only integration there is, with your webshop for Order status and Product info, is a fixed add-on with a fixed price. See the prices.
