Everything you need to know about ServiceAgentX.

 What is ServiceAgentX?
----------------------

 ServiceAgentX started with a single, very human problem: \*life is short, and nobody should spend 45 minutes on hold just to book a haircut.\* ### Where it began — the booking problem The original vision was straightforward. Busy people needed a faster way to book appointments with local businesses. We built \*\*Voice AI that could actually make the call for you.\*\* You say what you need, the AI phones the business, speaks naturally, confirms the slot, and reports back. ### What ServiceAgentX is today Today ServiceAgentX is a \*\*unified AI platform\*\* that covers the full surface area of how people actually work: voice &amp; booking, AI chat, leads CRM, files &amp; documents, 30+ app connectors, Agent Mode, Business Portal, and Image &amp; Video AI. ### Our belief: AI works best alongside people, not instead of them We are building AI to handle the \*\*mechanical, time-consuming, repetitive parts\*\* of work so that humans can focus on the work that actually requires a human. ### Enterprise power. Startup price. The tools we have built would cost a mid-sized company tens of thousands of dollars a year to replicate with enterprise SaaS. We offer all of it, tightly integrated, starting at \*\*$19.99/month\*\*.  Is ServiceAgentX free to use?

-----------------------------------------------

 Agent Mode transforms ServiceAgentX from a chat tool into an autonomous AI developer. When Agent Mode is enabled, the AI can plan multi-step tasks, call tools automatically, reflect on results, and generate full web applications from a single prompt. The Agentic App Builder uses a 4-stage loop: \*\*Planning → Tool Use → Reflection → Orchestration\*\*. State is persisted so long tasks can resume after interruption.

Can the AI interact with my File Manager from chat?
---------------------------------------------------

 Yes — when the \*\*File Manager\*\* app is active in your session, the AI has four built-in tools: List files, Read a file, Create a folder, and Save a document. Write operations always show a confirmation card before executing. \[Open the Files Manager →\](/files)  How do I upload and analyze files?
----------------------------------

 ServiceAgentX has two ways to work with files: ### 1. Chat with files (main chat) Click the paperclip icon in the chat input bar or drag and drop files.

 ServiceAgentX includes a client-side AI background removal tool powered by \*\*@imgly/background-removal\*\*, a WASM port of the U2Net neural network. It runs entirely in your browser — your image is never sent to a server. - \*\*Fast\*\* (default) — ~3 seconds, ~15MB model download - \*\*Precise\*\* — ~12 seconds, better edge detection for complex backgrounds  How does the Files Manager work?

 Yes. When you select a \*\*.md\*\* or \*\*.txt\*\* file, the Files Manager renders it inline. An \*\*Edit\*\* button re-opens the file in the full WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Changes are automatically re-indexed so your AI chat always reflects the latest version.  How do I generate AI images in the Files Manager?
-------------------------------------------------

 Click the \*\*Generate Image\*\* card on the Files Manager home screen. The image is generated using \*\*Stable Diffusion running locally\*\* (your prompts stay private), then saved automatically to your Files library as a PNG. \*\*You can also generate images from the main chat\*\* — ask the AI to "generate an image of…" \*\*Free plan limit:\*\* 5 image generations per calendar month.

What is the Business Portal?
----------------------------

 The Business Portal is a white-label AI workspace for teams and organizations. As a portal admin, you can invite and manage team members, set up a branded portal with your logo, monitor team usage and billing, and control which AI models and tools your team can access. Each portal gets its own URL (`/portal/your-company`) with isolated chat sessions.  How does billing and subscriptions work?

----------------------------------------------------

 \*\*AgenticX\*\* is the Pro-tier autonomous agent mode. The 4 stages: 1. \*\*Planning\*\* — The AI analyses your request and decides which tools to call 2. \*\*Tool Execution\*\* — Each tool is called with a live spinner 3. \*\*Reflection\*\* — The AI checks whether results fully answer your request 4. \*\*Synthesis\*\* — All results are combined into a single coherent response AgenticX requires a \*\*Pro plan\*\*.

----------------------------------------------------------------

 ServiceAgentX includes a \*\*Video Generation tool\*\* that turns your uploaded photos into short professional videos (5, 10, or 30 seconds). Supported styles: cinematic, real\\\_estate, slideshow, dynamic, minimal. Video generation requires a \*\*Pro plan\*\* and must be enabled by the administrator (`VIDEO\_GEN\_ENABLED=true`).  Is my data private and secure?

 Yes. ServiceAgentX takes privacy seriously: all data is encrypted at rest and in transit (TLS 1.3), conversations are stored in your account and not shared with third parties, and you can export or delete all your data from Settings → Data. We do not sell your data and do not use your conversations to train AI models.  Can I use ServiceAgentX on mobile?
----------------------------------

 Yes — ServiceAgentX is fully responsive and works on all modern mobile browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox). Voice mode works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome via WebRTC. For the best mobile experience, save the app to your home screen (Add to Home Screen). Native iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap.  How does real-time web search work?
-----------------------------------

 When enabled, ServiceAgentX searches the live web before composing answers for queries that benefit from current information. Search results are cited inline. Real-time search is enabled by default and can be toggled per-session using the web search button in the chat input area.  Can I customize how the AI responds?
------------------------------------

 Yes — several customization options are available in Settings: - \*\*Customize tab\*\* — set your name and write custom system instructions - \*\*Behavior tab\*\* — toggle Enter-to-send, auto-scroll, show reasoning steps, sound effects - \*\*Appearance tab\*\* — switch between Light, Dark, and System themes. Adjust font size and chat density. - \*\*Model selector\*\* — pick a specific AI model for different tasks  What are cited AI answers and how do they work?
-----------------------------------------------

 Cited answers make every AI response traceable. When the AI uses information from a document, tool result, or live data feed, it places a small \*\*\\\[SRC:label\\\]\*\* marker after the relevant sentence. In the chat UI these render as inline pill badges. The AI only cites when drawing from provided context. Admins can enable or disable citations site-wide.  What is the Knowledge Graph on a knowledge project?
---------------------------------------------------

 The Knowledge Graph is a visual map of how your documents relate to each other. It appears as a "Knowledge Graph" tab on any knowledge project page with at least 2 indexed files. The graph uses semantic similarity (cosine distance of AI-generated embeddings) to draw connections between files. Drag nodes to rearrange, scroll to zoom, pinch on mobile.  Can I share a conversation or knowledge project with someone?
-------------------------------------------------------------

 Yes. Both chat conversations and knowledge projects can be shared via a unique public link that anyone can view without logging in. For conversations, open any chat session and click the 3-dot menu → Share conversation. To revoke, select Unshare. All active shared links are listed in \*\*Help menu → Shared links\*\*.  What is Video Brief Generation and how does it work?
----------------------------------------------------

 Video Brief Generation turns a knowledge project into a short narrated video summary with one click. The pipeline: Script generation → Text-to-speech → Video rendering → Stitching &amp; export. The finished file appears in \*\*Files → Videos\*\*. This feature is available on Pro and Business plans when enabled. Contact us to join the beta.  How do I cancel my subscription?
--------------------------------

 You can cancel at any time from \*\*Settings → Billing → Cancellation\*\*. Click \*Cancel plan\*. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period. After cancellation, your data is retained for 90 days before being permanently deleted.  How do I get help or report a bug?
