01

How does Echo7 work?

Echo7 turns the knowledge your organisation already has – documents, web pages, manuals, price lists and FAQs – into an AI assistant that answers from your content, not from generic internet knowledge. Workflows define how each request is handled, and agents connect to your systems to look things up or complete tasks, with a person brought in whenever needed.

02

What content can I use with Echo7?

Manuals, procedures, price lists, FAQs, contracts, PDFs, Word and Excel files, and the pages of your website. Spreadsheets and CSV files are treated as structured data, so totals, averages and rankings are calculated rather than guessed.

03

Is my business data secure?

Yes. Roles and permissions, two-factor authentication, separate scopes for clients, departments and assistants, and protected credentials are all built in – and you can run Echo7 in the cloud or on your own servers. Read more about security and deployment.

04

Can Echo7 be integrated with our existing systems?

Yes. Echo7 connects to e-commerce platforms, CRMs, helpdesks, ERP and document management systems, with hundreds of integrations available. If a service has API or MCP documentation, Echo7 builds the integration and agents for you. Learn more about integrations and agents.

05

How quickly can we get started?

You can start with the content you already have – your website and existing documents – and have a working assistant without writing any code. Workflows are built in a visual editor and can be reused as templates. Start a free trial or book a demo.
