How to create an internal AI chatbot to answer questions about a specific table

An internal chatbot linked to a table is a conversational agent set up in a few clicks, with a custom logo, colors, and tone of response, able to sum, filter, and list records from a specific table when asked. In Jestor, it's different from Builder AI: one queries data, the other builds structure.

The problem with setting up an assistant linked to internal data

Setting up an AI assistant linked to internal data used to require technical knowledge of integrations and protocols, keeping it out of reach for teams without that expertise.

Setup in a few clicks: no technical knowledge required.
Visual customization: logo, image, background color, and opening message.
Adjustable tone of voice: formal, casual, or the company's own style.
Access filters: limits what the chatbot can show.

How to create a chatbot linked to a table in Jestor

Create a new chatbot-type agent: inside the AI agents area.
Select the base table: the one it will use to answer questions.
Customize the logo, color, and opening message: to match the identity you want to give the agent.

How to configure it in Jestor: the chatbot is different from Builder AI — use the chatbot to query data that already exists (sum, list, filter); use Builder AI when you need to build or edit an app's structure.

Why choose Jestor to give quick access to data without opening tables?

A chatbot linked to a table removes the need to manually open the table to answer simple, routine questions — like "how many leads came in this week" — reducing interruptions for whoever manages the data.

How to choose between pie or donut chart and customize colors, borders, and legends
