Generic AI knows the internet. Kranbos knows your business.
General AI models are trained on public information. They've never seen your price sheet, your service agreements, or last month's jobs, so they fill the gaps with confident guesses.
The short answer
Generic AI is fine for
- Drafting a general email or social post
- Explaining an industry concept
- Brainstorming marketing ideas
Kranbos is built for
- Answers based on your own documents and records
- Live data from the tools your team already uses
- Showing exactly where every answer came from
Your technician asks
“What's our warranty on a commercial rooftop unit we installed in 2024?”
Generic AI
Commercial rooftop units typically carry a 1-year labor warranty and a 5 to 10-year parts warranty, depending on the manufacturer. Check your paperwork for details.
Sounds reasonable, but it's an industry average, not your contract.
Kranbos Agent
Per section 4.2 of your 2024 Commercial Service Agreement:
- Parts & labor: 2-year full coverage
- Compressor: 5-year limited warranty

Why it matters for your business
Wrong answers cost real money
A made-up warranty term or price quoted on site turns into a refund, a callback, or an unhappy customer.
Your knowledge is already written down
Contracts, price sheets, manuals, and job notes hold the answers. Kranbos makes them instantly findable.
Trust you can check
Because every answer shows its source, your team can verify it in one tap instead of calling the office.
Common questions
Can't I just upload my documents to a generic AI tool?
You can for one-off questions, but someone has to keep uploading the latest versions, and each person gets different results. Kranbos keeps your documents and software connected and current for the whole team.
Is my business data used to train public AI models?
No. Your agent is set up for your business only, and your documents and records are not used to train public models.
Do my technicians need to learn a new app?
No. We deliver the agent where your team already works, like text, chat, or email, so there's nothing new to learn.
