Use Cases
Companin gives any team the infrastructure to deploy reliable AI assistants without building the plumbing from scratch. Whether you're a startup running customer support or an enterprise managing internal knowledge, the same API and widget power every scenario below.
Customer Support Chatbot
Resolve common issues instantly, 24/7.
Deploy an AI assistant trained on your documentation, FAQs, help articles, and past ticket resolutions. Visitors get accurate, cited answers in seconds — reducing ticket volume and freeing your support team to focus on complex, high-value cases. The assistant learns your product's voice, stays grounded in verified sources, and improves continuously from real conversation feedback.
Key benefits
Instant deflection at scale
Handle thousands of simultaneous conversations without adding headcount. The assistant answers repetitive questions around the clock, so your team only sees tickets that genuinely need a human.
Cited, trustworthy answers
Every response is grounded in your uploaded documentation, help articles, and curated Q&A. Users can see exactly which source an answer came from, building trust in the assistant's accuracy.
Continuous improvement loop
Per-message thumbs-up/down feedback is captured and surfaced in your analytics dashboard. You can spot low-confidence answers, identify knowledge gaps, and add new content to close them.
Seamless human escalation
When a conversation exceeds the assistant's confidence threshold, it flags the session for human handoff — passing along the full conversation history so the agent has context from the first message.
Branded, embeddable widget
The support widget loads with your brand colors, fonts, and tone. A single script tag is all it takes to embed it on any web page, portal, or documentation site.
How it works
- 1Upload your documentation, FAQs, and help articles to the knowledge base via file upload or URL ingestion.
- 2Configure your assistant's tone, fallback messages, and escalation triggers in the dashboard.
- 3Embed the widget on your support portal or website with a single script tag.
- 4Monitor session volume, resolution rate, and user satisfaction scores in real time.
- 5Add new knowledge articles whenever the assistant surfaces unanswered questions.

E-commerce Product Assistant
Help shoppers find what they need and buy with confidence.
Embed a product-aware assistant that answers sizing questions, compares options, explains return policies, and surfaces the right products — all trained on your catalog, brand guidelines, and support content. Shoppers get the guidance they'd expect from an in-store expert, delivered instantly at any hour.
Key benefits
Reduce cart abandonment
Answer sizing, compatibility, and pricing objections in real time — at the exact moment a shopper is deciding whether to buy. Removing uncertainty at checkout directly increases conversion.
Personalised recommendations via session context
Store visitor attributes — browsing history, past purchases, preferences — in the user context API. The assistant uses this data to tailor product suggestions to each individual shopper.
Always up-to-date catalog knowledge
Keep the assistant current by re-ingesting product URLs, inventory feeds, and policy pages on a schedule. No manual copy-pasting required — changes propagate automatically.
Multi-language support out of the box
Serve international customers in their own language. The assistant adapts to the visitor's locale, keeping tone and product terminology accurate across markets.
Actionable analytics on buyer questions
The dashboard shows which products generate the most questions and which queries go unanswered. Use that signal to improve your product descriptions and marketing copy.
How it works
- 1Ingest your product catalog, return policy, and sizing guides via URL crawl or file upload.
- 2Set the assistant persona to match your brand voice — formal, friendly, or expert.
- 3Embed the widget on product pages and the checkout flow.
- 4Pass visitor attributes (segment, purchase history) to the session context for personalised responses.
- 5Review top queries weekly and update knowledge sources to keep answers accurate.

Internal Knowledge Management
Give your team instant answers from your own documentation.
Connect Companin to internal wikis, Notion pages, PDFs, GitHub repos, and SharePoint libraries. Employees ask questions in plain language and get precise, cited answers from the most current company knowledge — without digging through dozens of folders or pinging a colleague who might not know either.
Key benefits
Eliminate repetitive internal questions
HR FAQs, IT procedures, onboarding checklists, engineering runbooks — the assistant handles them all so your team can focus on work that actually requires human judgment.
Organisation-scoped data access
Each team or department gets its own scoped assistant. An HR assistant never surfaces engineering IP; a client-facing assistant never exposes internal pricing. Access control is built in.
Knowledge that stays current
Automated re-ingestion keeps the assistant's answers accurate as your documentation evolves. When a policy changes, update the source document and the assistant picks it up automatically.
Identify knowledge gaps before they become blockers
The analytics dashboard surfaces the questions that the assistant couldn't confidently answer — giving knowledge managers a prioritised list of what to document next.
Multiple source types, one interface
Ingest PDFs, Markdown files, Notion pages, GitHub repos, and URLs in a single pipeline. Employees get one place to ask regardless of where the original information lives.
How it works
- 1Connect your knowledge sources — wikis, Notion, GitHub, PDFs — via the data sources dashboard.
- 2Configure per-team assistants with access scoped to the relevant knowledge.
- 3Embed the widget in your internal tools, Slack-equivalent, or company intranet.
- 4Monitor which questions remain unanswered and assign documentation tasks accordingly.
- 5Schedule automated re-ingestion to keep answers current as documentation changes.

SaaS Onboarding Assistant
Get new users to value faster.
Guide new users through setup steps, answer feature questions, and surface the right documentation at the right moment — all inside your product. The assistant understands your product's structure, speaks in your product's voice, and remembers where each user is in their journey so they never have to start a conversation from scratch.
Key benefits
Reduce time-to-activation
Resolve the setup blockers that cause new users to churn before they see value. An assistant that knows your product removes friction at exactly the right moment in the user journey.
Context-aware responses per user segment
Pass plan type, feature flags, or onboarding step into the session context. The assistant tailors responses to where each user is — a free-tier user gets different guidance than an enterprise admin.
Persistent conversation memory
Sessions persist across page reloads and revisits. A user who paused their onboarding yesterday picks up exactly where they left off — no need to re-explain their situation.
Per-step analytics to identify drop-off
Session and conversation analytics reveal which onboarding steps generate the most questions and where users abandon the flow. Use this data to improve in-app guidance proactively.
Zero-infrastructure embed
Add the onboarding assistant to your app with a single script tag. No backend changes required — pass user context via data attributes and the assistant handles the rest.
How it works
- 1Upload your product documentation, onboarding guides, and feature explanations to the knowledge base.
- 2Configure the assistant persona to match your product's tone and default language.
- 3Embed the widget at key onboarding touchpoints — setup wizards, empty states, first-run screens.
- 4Pass user segment, plan type, and current onboarding step as session context attributes.
- 5Review drop-off analytics to identify which steps need better documentation or UX improvements.

Sales & Lead Qualification
Qualify visitors and book meetings while you sleep.
Deploy an assistant that answers prospect questions about pricing, integrations, security, and fit — then captures contact details and routes qualified leads directly to your CRM or booking calendar. High-intent visitors get immediate, knowledgeable responses at any hour, and your sales team receives warm leads with the full conversation attached.
Key benefits
Engage high-intent visitors immediately
Respond to pricing page and demo page visitors the moment they arrive — before they leave to evaluate a competitor. An instant, informed response dramatically increases the chance of converting a visitor into a lead.
Qualify leads through natural conversation
The assistant asks clarifying questions — company size, use case, timeline — and collects structured data through dialogue. No forms, no friction. Qualified leads arrive in your CRM pre-enriched.
Hand off warm leads with full context
When a conversation reaches a qualification threshold, the full transcript is forwarded to your sales team or CRM. Your rep knows exactly what the prospect asked, what they were told, and what objections came up.
A/B test assistant personas for conversion
Run two assistant configurations simultaneously — different tones, different opening messages, different qualification scripts — and let the analytics surface which version books more meetings.
Works around the clock across time zones
International prospects and late-night researchers get the same quality response as a weekday morning visitor. Every interaction is logged, so nothing falls through the cracks when your team comes online.
How it works
- 1Load the assistant with your pricing, integration, and security FAQs from the knowledge base.
- 2Define qualification criteria — company size, use case, budget — as guided conversation flows.
- 3Embed the widget on high-intent pages: pricing, demo request, and product comparison pages.
- 4Connect conversation completions to your CRM or calendar via webhooks.
- 5Use A/B testing to compare assistant personas and optimise for booked meetings.
