The golden rule
If it isn't in the business's base, Atenta doesn't make it up: it checks with the owner and passes it on.
It's Atenta's central promise, and it's written in code, not just in the prompt.
What it means in practice
- Atenta never makes up prices, hours, availability, addresses or diagnoses.
- Every figure that goes out to a customer must exist in the approved base. The reply is checked against the base before it's sent; if a figure isn't there, the reply is rewritten or handed over to a person.
- When it doesn't know, it tells the customer naturally ("I don't want to guess on that; let me confirm and I'll write you right here") and alerts the owner with the full thread.
- Whatever the customer dictates (a new address, "I already paid", an allergy) stays pending confirmation until the owner validates it.
What also belongs to a person
Even if it's in the base, there are things Atenta doesn't decide on its own:
- Special quotes, discounts and financing.
- Complaints and claims.
- Emergencies and symptoms (clinics): it never gives medical advice.
- Legal matters, press and suppliers (corporate offices).
- An unusually large order (for example, ten pizzas or more): it's recorded and handed over.
How it's tested
Every test business is put through 30 trap questions (prices that don't exist, made-up hours, "can you give it to me cheaper?"). The target is 0 made-up answers, and it's measured on every change to the engine. There are also tests per trade: 5 traps specific to each one (a date that isn't reserved at a venue is never declared free; a hotel never confirms a room).
How your customer sees it
A real example from a test fonda:
Customer: Do you have chiles en nogada? Atenta: Today's menu is noodle soup, rice, and for the main dish milanesa, stuffed chiles or beef with onions. I don't have chiles en nogada on the list; let me ask Chayo and I'll confirm right here.
And Chayo gets the alert: "Someone's asking about chiles en nogada. It's not on your menu." If there are some, she adds them to the base with one tap.
