Common questions about TripWorks' AI assistants. Where an answer differs between the two, we call it out — the chatbot is on your website, the callbot answers your phone.

How they work

How is the AI trained?

Three layers work together: a conversation flow we build and maintain (greetings, questions, availability checks, bookings), your live account data (experiences, real-time availability, and pricing pulled every time it's asked), and your Knowledge Base (the content you upload). You don't train the AI yourself — you just build a Knowledge Base and assign it.

Can it tell my different tour types apart (sightseeing, charters, transfers)?

Yes. It reads the name, description, and details of each experience and routes guests accordingly. Keep your experience names and descriptions clear (e.g. "Hudson River Sightseeing Tour" vs "JFK Airport Transfer") and it picks up the same language you'd use.

Can it speak languages other than English?

Yes. The assistants handle everyday conversations in 30+ languages and generally reply in whatever language the guest uses — a guest who opens in Spanish or French is usually answered in kind, with no setup on your part. Two things to know: your Knowledge Base and greeting are stored in the language you wrote them, so the assistant translates on the fly rather than serving native-language content — for fully localized answers, add a translated Knowledge Base. And availability, dates, and prices always come straight from your account regardless of language. If you need a specific language fully supported, let us know.

Does the chatbot work on Squarespace, Wix, or WordPress?

Yes. The chatbot installs with a single snippet you paste into your site's HTML before the closing </body> tag. On website builders like Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress, paste it into the custom-code or code-injection area (often labeled "Footer" or "Before </body>"). It works on any site where you can add a snippet — see Set up your AI Chatbot. (The callbot needs no website; it answers your phone.)

Accuracy & safeguards

Does it use real-time availability and pricing?

Yes — every time. Availability and pricing are pulled live from your account, and closed, sold-out, and non-ecommerce timeslots are filtered out. Keep your experiences, timeslots, and pricing current so it always shows the right thing.

Could it give inaccurate information? What safeguards are there?

Live data: pricing, availability, and details are never cached. Guardrails: it's instructed never to invent pricing, availability, dates, or details — if it doesn't know, it says so. Payment safety net: nothing is confirmed until the guest pays, and the final price is calculated at checkout, not by the AI. That said, AI isn't 100% accurate — we monitor conversations and keep refining. Review your history regularly and update your Knowledge Base when content changes.

Customer experience

Can it transfer a customer to a real person?

Not today. If a guest gets stuck or asks for a human, it points them to your contact info. The callbot can also notify your team about calls (see its notification settings), and callers who don't book can be captured as leads to follow up.

What if it doesn't know the answer?

It tells the guest it doesn't have that answer and suggests contacting you directly. Include your contact info in your Knowledge Base so there's always a fallback.

Can it modify or reschedule existing bookings?

Not today. Both assistants can create new bookings but can't edit or reschedule existing ones — they'll direct the customer to your team for changes.

Payments & security

How are payments handled? What about 3D Secure and fraud?

The AI never processes payment itself. It creates a draft booking and sends a payment link; the guest pays through your standard TripWorks checkout — so CVV, AVS, 3D Secure, and fraud monitoring all apply as normal. There's no path that bypasses them. See How AI bookings work.

Are there fraud risks specific to the AI?

No new risk — it hands off to your standard checkout, which has the normal protections. Every conversation is scoped to your account only; the AI can't access other customers' or other operators' information.

Leads, reporting & general

Can it capture contact info from guests who don't book?

Partly for chat: during a booking the chatbot collects name, email, and phone, and anything shared is kept in the transcript. The callbot goes further — enable Create leads in Lead Center and it logs a lead for callers who don't book.

What reporting do I get?

Chat: every conversation with an AI summary — see Review AI chatbot conversations. Calls: per-callbot calls, bookings, and revenue plus transcripts — see Review AI callbot calls & analytics. Bookings are tagged AI Chat Bot or AI Call Bot so you can report on them separately.

Can I have more than one?

Yes — create multiple chatbots (e.g. one per site) and, where available, multiple callbots, each with its own Knowledge Base and settings.

Is this a substitute for customer service?

No — it's a 24/7 helper for common questions and bookings, not a replacement for your team. For complex requests or anything out of scope, it points customers back to you.
