Getting started

Create your first assistant.

From sign-up to a live AI receptionist in about five minutes. No code, no infra.

The five-step wizard

Sign in, then click Create assistant on the dashboard. Janore walks you through five short steps. You can pause and resume anytime — your progress stays in the browser until you submit.

  1. Brand basics
  2. Knowledge sources
  3. Channels
  4. Persona & escalation
  5. Review & create

1. Brand basics

Tell Janore who you are. The two required fields are your business name and your website URL — Janore uses the URL when you ask her to crawl your site for knowledge in the next step.

  • Voice — pick one of five tones (Professional / Friendly / Concise / Playful / Custom). This is the personality Janore wears when no custom system prompt is set in step 4.
  • Primary language — what Janore replies in by default. Janore always mirrors the visitor's language regardless, this just controls fallback copy.
  • Also speaks — add other languages Janore is allowed to use. Today: French, English, Spanish, Arabic.

2. Knowledge sources

Tell Janore what she should know. Add as many sources as you want — websites to crawl, FAQ blocks, free-form notes. They all ingest in parallel after creation.

Website

Paste any public URL. Janore tries your sitemap.xml first, then falls back to a same-origin BFS of the homepage. Up to 25 pages per source. Each page is split into ~800-token chunks and tagged with its source URL so Janore can cite the right page.

FAQ

Paste a Q/A block, or pick a starter template (Restaurant, Real estate, Medical clinic, E-commerce, SaaS, Hotel, Beauty / Salon, Freelance, Generic). Edit the template until it sounds like you.

Notes

Free-form text. Use this for anything Janore should remember that doesn't fit neatly as a Q/A — your address, founding story, return policy, sample answers in your voice.

You can edit, re-crawl, or delete every source post-creation from the Knowledge tab of your assistant.

3. Channels

Pick where Janore will answer. Web is on by default — that's the embeddable script you'll get on the success screen. The other three (WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram) need a few extra steps in the Channels tab after creation.

All four channels share the same knowledge base, persona, and conversation transcripts — Janore is one assistant on every surface.

See per-channel guides: Web · WhatsApp · Telegram · Instagram.

4. Persona & escalation

Two fields, both optional, both impactful.

System prompt

The "instruction manual" Janore reads before every reply. Pick a starter from the dropdown (Concise receptionist, Friendly French SMB, Strict / zero-hallucination, Hotel concierge, etc.) — placeholders {BRAND} and {ESCALATION_EMAIL} are filled in automatically.

Leave blank for sensible defaults derived from the voice you picked in step 1.

Escalation email

When Janore can't answer or detects a hot lead, she classifies the conversation and posts a transcript to this address within ~30 seconds. Includes a lead score (0–100), a one-line reason, and a deep link to the full transcript in your dashboard.

Leave blank to skip auto-handoff — you'll still see escalations in the dashboard and can mark them manually.

5. Review & create

Glance at the summary, then click Create assistant. Janore:

  1. Creates your brand + assistant rows in the database.
  2. Queues every knowledge source for ingestion (URL crawls run in parallel; FAQ / notes are chunked and embedded by a 5-minute background cron).
  3. Sends you a welcome email with the embed snippet (first assistant only).
  4. Fires a synthetic test message at the chat pipeline to prove the wiring is live — you'll see her reply on the success screen.
  5. Hands you the embed snippet to paste on your site.

The embed snippet looks like this:
