AI Assistants and Applications

AI Assistants and Applications is the work behind Ask Estila, offered to other businesses. An assistant that searches, compares and recommends from live, structured data, calls the right tools to do it, and knows what it must not say. We design the guardrails with as much care as the conversation.

Who it is for

Clear support for the point you are at now.

The service is scoped around the current site, product or process so the next step is useful rather than overbuilt.

  • Brands and suppliers with a catalogue people struggle to search or compare.
  • Trade platforms, showrooms and marketplaces that want product discovery for members.
  • Design-led businesses that want an assistant to take briefs and route them to the right next step.
  • Teams whose customers ask the same detailed questions and want accurate answers at any hour.

Most often a look at your product data together, to see whether an assistant could answer from it honestly.

Common problems

The practical issues this service is designed to clarify.

The work avoids broad promises and focuses on decisions, structure and code a business owner can act on.

Site search finds words, but not the product someone means.

Customers cannot compare options without emailing to ask.

An assistant on a generic model gives confident answers that are wrong for your products.

Customer requests need to move from a conversation into a real business process.

Scope

What this can include, and what it does not include by default.

The exact scope is confirmed after an enquiry or audit. This keeps the work practical and avoids promises that need a larger brief.

Included

  • Conversation and journey design: what the assistant does, and where it hands over to a person or a form.
  • Tool calling against your structured product, stock, lead-time or booking data.
  • AI search, comparison and recommendations over your live catalogue.
  • Guardrails and suitability rules, with tests that prove they hold.
  • Membership or login gating, per-user usage limits and rate limiting.
  • A web app and API, plus a native mobile wrapper where it earns its place.

Not included by default

  • Cleaning or structuring your product data. We scope that separately if it is not ready.
  • Training a model on your data. We work with tool calling and retrieval, which is usually the better fit.
  • Public-facing assistants that quote prices or availability without a source we can check.
  • Guaranteed accuracy, uptime or commercial results.
