Build Knowledge Bases for SmartChatAI

Need to teach the bot something new? You can train the bot using raw text via `add_text_to_knowledge_base`, or point it at a full document with `add_pdf_to_knowledge_base`. It even handles entire websites through `add_website_to_knowledge_base`. This means your AI agent doesn't just talk; it pulls facts from the specific documents and sites you feed it. Stop relying on generic knowledge.

Control Bot Operations with MCP Server

Treat every bot like a managed service. You can list all bots using `list_ai_chatbots` or get deep configuration details for one specific bot via `get_chatbot_details`. It’s simple inventory management for your AI tools. Want to test the connection? Run `check_api_health` anytime; it quickly verifies the SmartChatAI API status before you write a line of code. No guesswork, just certainty.

Send Live Messages and Track History

Don't just chat—automate communication. Use `message_ai_chatbot` to send a message and immediately get the AI reply in your local workflow. You can also retrieve past conversations using `get_bot_chat_history`. This lets you build multi-step processes, like checking user profile data with `get_authenticated_user_profile` before sending a follow-up message.
