An **internal AI chatbot** answers your team's questions using your own data: a specific table, your documentation, or public links you provide. In **Jestor**, you create one by choosing the chatbot agent type, pointing it at a source and writing its instructions. No protocols to wire up, no separate tools to connect.

## Why internal questions consume so much time

Every company has a handful of people who function as living documentation. They get asked the same questions about the vacation policy, the pricing tiers, the approval rule, over and over.

That knowledge exists in writing somewhere. The problem is that finding it takes longer than asking a colleague.

What an internal chatbot removes:

- Repeated questions about policies that are already documented
- New hires interrupting senior people for basic answers
- Different answers to the same question depending on who you ask
- Documentation that exists but nobody opens
- Data questions that require someone to build a report

## Two ways to ground the chatbot

| Source            | What the agent answers                    | Typical use                           |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| A specific table  | Questions about the records it holds      | Opportunities, tickets, inventory     |
| Documentation     | Questions about written policy or product | HR policy, internal procedures        |
| Public links      | Questions about published content         | Help center or public docs            |
| No table selected | Purely document based answers             | Policy assistants with no data access |

## Step by step to create one

1. **Create a new agent** and select the chatbot type.
2. **Choose the source**: a table, attached documents, public links, or a combination.
3. **Write the instructions**, defining scope, tone and what it should not answer.
4. **Apply a filter** if the agent should only see part of a table.
5. **Customize the appearance**: logo, background color, chatbot image and the opening prompt.
6. **Test with real questions** your team actually asks, then refine the instructions.

## Why a narrow agent beats a general one

An agent pointed at everything answers everything badly. One pointed at the vacation policy answers vacation questions reliably, and that reliability is what makes people keep using it.

- **One agent per process:** HR, support and sales with different instructions and sources
- **Documents without a table:** policies can be attached with no data source at all
- **Branded appearance:** logo, colors and opening message under your control
- **Built in minutes:** configuration happens in a few clicks, with no integration work
