What this software changes day to day
In production
The problem
Your visitors ask questions in the evening, on weekends or in another language, and leave without an answer. Meanwhile, your team keeps answering the same questions instead of handling real requests.
Our answer
An assistant that answers around the clock, makes nothing up and knows when to hand off.
Flagship modules
The pillars that create the value of the solution.
Smart answers, with guardrails
A state-of-the-art AI model answers visitors, guided by instructions that set the tone, scope and limits.
- Never makes up prices, timelines, references or commitments
- Directs any quote or pricing request to your team
- Remembers the last 10 exchanges for consistent answers
- Replies in the site's language or the visitor's
Always an answer, even without AI
If the AI is unavailable, Arla automatically switches to its prepared-answer engine, with no error message.
- Automatic fallback on network failure, exhausted quota or empty response
- Prepared answers on services, ordering, payment, delivery, warranty and quotes
- Understands context: "how much is it?" refers to the last product mentioned
- Replies adapted to the visitor's mood, with clickable suggestions
A human handoff at the right moment
When Arla doesn't understand, it hands off to your team instead of insisting.
- Offers to connect with a person after 3 misunderstood questions
- Direct WhatsApp link and call button
- "Request a quote" and "Contact us" buttons after every AI answer

Frequently asked questions
Can we install Arla on our website?
Yes. Arla is designed as a standalone module and is already live on the Salott-IT website. Our team tailors it to your site: content, contact details, languages and tone. The demo shows you the result in a real setting.
Could the AI say something wrong?
Its instructions forbid it from making up prices, timelines or commitments and direct it to your team. AI mode relies on an external pay-per-use service, billed to you; if it is unavailable, the prepared-answer engine responds on its own.
What happens to conversations?
They are stored on your server, along with unresolved questions to enrich the knowledge base. In AI mode, messages are sent to the AI service, and we help you state this in your privacy policy. Reviewing them in the admin panel is planned.
