### Frequently asked questions

**Who is the Small Business Assistant AI Agent for?**

Entrepreneurs, sole traders, and small business owners who want to stay responsive to customers without hiring additional staff. It suits tradespeople, local service providers, boutique retailers, and any small business that handles customer inquiries directly and cannot always respond immediately.

**Can it handle bookings and customer questions at the same time?**

Yes. The agent routes each visitor to the right outcome based on what they are asking. Someone wanting to book is taken through a scheduling flow via Calendly. Someone with a question receives an answer from your knowledge base. A lead inquiry gets their details captured and logged.

**What business content can I upload?**

Upload your service descriptions, pricing guides, FAQ pages, location details, and any other content customers typically ask about. The agent answers from that material, so the more accurately it reflects your business, the more questions it can resolve without any involvement from you.

**Can I customize this template for my specific services?**

Yes. The services it describes, the questions it answers, the booking flow, and the lead capture fields are all editable. Build it around your exact offerings so the agent represents your business accurately rather than responding with generic small business content.

**How do I use this template?**

This is a ready-to-use template. Sign in to theDouble.ai, click Use this template, and it installs onto your Double in one click. Open it in your workflows to upload your business content, set your services, and connect Calendly before going live.
