Which actions should the buyer define?
| Action | Evidence to ask for |
|---|---|
| Read or summarise | Correct record and visible source |
| Draft a reply | Editable draft and responsible reviewer |
| Book a conversation | Saved slot, attendee and confirmation |
| Change a system | Defined access, record and recovery owner |
AI receptionist or human answering service?
Compare the service you will actually buy. Either may capture details, qualify an enquiry or arrange a callback depending on setup. Test routing, unsuitable requests, unavailable staff and appointment confirmation. Ask what happens when the service cannot complete the request; do not assume every human service only takes messages or every AI agent can book.

Three useful owner tasks to start with
- Summarise a redacted pilot log: identify missing fields, state the period and keep unknown outcomes visible.
- Draft an FAQ from current product documentation: ask for source links and review the claims before publication.
- Prepare a website copy change in a preview: check the page and retain an owner for the release.
These are tasks for a separately approved general agent and its permitted tools. They do not establish that ArcSolar’s planned agentic chat is live.
Example: “call next week” is not a booked appointment
Illustrative enquiry: a customer asks to speak next week. Check whether the system has created a draft, an internal review task or a confirmed appointment. In ArcSolar, Review timing identifies an internal deadline, while a booked conversation requires its own supported appointment action.

What should you check before connecting account access?
General agents such as Claude Code can act through connected tools; their permissions and the trustworthiness of those tools matter. Start with fictional records and verify the scope. Customer messages and web content are data, not authority to change access or commercial terms.
ArcSolar’s embedded intelligence is separate from its planned agentic chat and voice agents. Confirm the live capability and workspace before assuming a general agent connection exists.
Inspect the live ArcSolar intelligence workflow
Review a source-backed call summary and its saved task in a demo. Separately evaluate the permissions and booking evidence of any external agent or answering service you add.
