02/The Problem

Your best answers
live where your
customers can’t reach them.

Your team has the answers. They’re in your training docs, your FAQ pages, your standard operating procedures, the heads of your most senior staff.

But your customer isn’t at their laptop. They’re standing in your lobby. Holding your product. Looking at your sign. Sitting in your waiting room.

So they do what’s easiest — they call your front desk, fire off another email, or worse, walk away.

You answer the same questions every day. Your staff get interrupted. Your customers wait. And every one of those moments is happening somewhere a website link was never going to reach.

03/How it works

From your documents
to a printable QR
in under an hour.

No code. No prompt engineering. No “AI strategy” workshop. Just 3 steps to get an assistant that knows your business and lives wherever your customers do.

Source · Yours
01

Build the brain

Upload your PDFs, scrape your website, drop in YouTube or Vimeo links, or paste content straight in. Askbud reads everything, structures it, and trains an assistant that speaks in your voice and answers from your real material — not the open internet.

Step 01 of 03
Surface · Anywhere
02

Print the QR. Embed the widget. Or both.

Generate branded QR codes for your lobby, packaging, signage, or printed materials. Drop the embed code on your website. Share the standalone link. Same assistant, every surface — anywhere a customer might be standing.

Step 02 of 03
Loop · Closed
03

Get answers out. Get insights back.

Customers get accurate answers, with citations to the exact page in your source documents. You get a feed of every question asked, what your assistant couldn’t answer, which products got recommended, and which physical locations are driving the most scans.

Step 03 of 03
04/Trust mechanics

Putting AI on a sign is
a trust ask.
Here’s how we earn it.

Generic chatbots make things up, then quietly link to a hallucinated PDF. That’s fine for a personal experiment. It’s not okay when the answer is going to a tenant, a patient, or a parent.

TRUST.01Verified
100%
Cited responses

Every answer cites the source

Responses come with clickable citations that jump straight to the page in the document where the answer lives. Customers verify in one tap. You audit in seconds. No more scrolling 200-page PDFs to figure out where a chatbot got something.

Confidence score

It scores its own confidence — and shows you

Before responding, every answer is rated 0–100 on how well the source material actually supported it. Low-confidence answers get flagged. High-confidence ones get delivered. You see the score, the reasoning chain, and why each source was chosen.

Hallucinations shipped

It says "I don’t know" when it should

Ask Askbud something outside its knowledge base and it won’t guess. It tells the customer it doesn’t know, offers to escalate to a support ticket, and adds the question to your "knowledge gaps" report so you can fix it.

05/Distribution surfaces

One assistant. Every place
your customer
might be standing.

You only build the brain once. Then you choose how it shows up — including the channels that don’t live in a browser tab.

QR Code

For everywhere a screen isn’t.

Generate branded QR codes for posters, packaging, lobbies, menus, signage, manuals, and printed handouts. Each scan opens your assistant on the customer’s phone — no app, no login, no friction. Track scans by location, time, and source. Update the destination anytime without reprinting.

Surface 02WIDGET.JS

Website Widget

A chat button that knows your business.

Drop one line of code on your site. A floating button expands into a full assistant — answering questions, recommending products, opening tickets — without sending visitors to a separate page.

Surface 03IFRAME.HTML

iFrame Embed

A full assistant, built into your layout.

Embed the entire chat experience inside any page on your site or internal portal. Useful for help centers, product pages, and member-only dashboards.

Surface 04PAGE.URL

Standalone Page

A shareable URL with no setup.

Every assistant gets its own public landing page on a custom subdomain. Share it in emails, signatures, social bios, or anywhere a link works. Great for one-off campaigns or focused product launches.

Surface 05API.JSON

REST API

Plug it into anything.

Programmatic access to assistants, conversations, and chat — for custom apps, kiosks, voice systems, or whatever physical or digital experience you’re building.

06/After the scan

A scan is the
start of the conversation,
not the end of it.

Most chatbots stop at “here’s your answer.” Askbud assistants are wired to do more — recommend, escalate, and report back.

01
OUTPUT.01→ Conversion

Turn answers into recommendations

Build a product or service catalog per assistant. When a question is relevant, your assistant surfaces the right product, with an image, a description, and a clear call-to-action that links wherever you want — your storefront, a booking page, a partner site. Track impressions, clicks, and which conversations are actually converting.

02
OUTPUT.02→ Resolution

Escalate without losing the thread

When a question needs a human, customers open a support ticket from inside the chat. The full conversation comes with it. Your team picks it up in a shared inbox, replies, assigns, prioritizes — and Askbud can even draft a knowledge-base article from the resolution so the next customer never has to ask.

03
OUTPUT.03→ Intelligence

See what your customers are actually asking

Pick any date range and Askbud generates an insights report: top themes, most-asked questions, conversations the assistant couldn’t answer, and the topics your knowledge base is missing. Every scan, click, and chat becomes feedback you can act on.

07/Built for

Wherever your customers stand,
your business can answer.

Askbud shines when there’s a physical surface, a printed document, or a public-facing space your customers walk through.

Education
EDUPosted

Education

QR codes on campus signage, prospectuses, brochures, and admissions materials. Prospective students get program details, application deadlines, and tuition info on the spot. Your admissions team gets to focus on the conversations that actually need a human.

Retail & Hospitality
RETAILPosted

Retail & Hospitality

Allergen questions stopped pulling staff off the floor.
Clinics & Practices
CLINICPosted

Clinics & Practices

QR codes in waiting rooms, on patient handouts, and in post-visit summaries. Patients get answers about prep instructions, insurance, hours, and follow-up care without tying up the front desk. Staff handle fewer phone calls. Patients leave better informed.

Patients show up prepared. Front desk got their afternoons back.
Hotels & Venues
HOTELPosted

QR codes at the front desk, in guest rooms, on event signage, and inside welcome packets. Guests get instant answers about check-in, Wi-Fi, room service, local recommendations, and house rules — without queuing at reception.

The morning queue at reception just disappeared.

GOVTPosted

09/Field questions

Questions we
get a lot.

  • It won’t make things up. Every response is built only from your knowledge base, scored for confidence, and tied to a source citation. If the assistant doesn’t have a confident answer, it says so and offers to open a support ticket — instead of guessing.
