Common questions about Conversational assistant
These answers describe the standard boundary. The approved scope remains the record for a specific engagement.
Will the assistant pretend to be a person?
No. The experience includes clear disclosure and avoids false identity. It assists with approved routine questions and routing, while people remain responsible for consequential conversations.
What happens when the answer is uncertain?
The assistant should abstain or route the request to a named person when approved knowledge is missing, conflicting, sensitive or outside scope. Unsupported answers are not smoothed into plausible claims.
Can client data be used to train a model?
Not by default. Any model-data use requires explicit, lawful approval, vendor and privacy review, purpose limitation, security controls and documented client terms.
