What exactly is the Box of Authority?

The Box of Authority is the set of hard coded boundaries, rules, and escalation triggers you define for your AI agent. It ensures the agent only operates within your approved guidelines, so you maintain full ownership and visibility over every conversation.

Is Antares meant to replace my sales team?

No. Antares supports roles by shifting repetitive, time sensitive tasks like immediate lead chasing to the AI, freeing staff to focus on high value human interactions such as tours and relationship building.

How long does it take to get up and running?

Antares follows a structured two phase, 20 day implementation plan: five days of strategy mapping, a 10 day integration and training window, and a final five days for validation and launch.

Can AI agents handle bookings and CRM updates?

Yes. Antares is designed to book tours and trials once a lead is ready and to update records and outcomes within your existing CRM.

How do you ensure the AI sounds like my brand?

During Phase 1, we collect your business data and brand guidelines to tailor the model, then train and test it against real world scenarios to ensure responses match the quality of your top team members.

What if a lead asks a question the AI cannot answer?

Specific escalation rules handle edge cases and sensitive topics. If a scenario falls outside the Box of Authority, the conversation is automatically routed to your human team for a seamless handoff.

Can Antares hallucinate and promise free memberships?

No. Antares uses grounding and only pulls information from your approved knowledge base. If it does not know the answer, it escalates to your team.

Does Antares replace my CRM?

No. Antares integrates with your existing tech stack and updates your CRM so your source of truth remains unchanged.

What if my staff question job security?

Antares is positioned as a leads assistant. It handles the grunt work of after hours follow ups and lead chasing, allowing your staff to focus on high value tours and closings.

What happens if a lead asks a question Antares does not know the answer to?

Antares is technically prohibited from guessing or making up pricing or other information. If a query falls outside its approved knowledge base, it triggers an immediate human handover and flags the conversation for your team.

Will it sound like a clunky chatbot?

Antares uses natural language rather than rigid decision trees and communicates in your brand voice. During validation, we fine tune the personality until it is indistinguishable from a high performing team member.

Is our prospect data secure?

Yes. Antares is enterprise ready and compliant with standard data protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. We do not use your proprietary lead data to train public AI models; your data stays within your silo.

What if Antares makes a mistake?

Antares maintains an audit trail for every word it says. If an edge case occurs, the guardrails can be adjusted so the specific mistake does not happen again across your locations.

How much work is required from my IT team?

Minimal. Keepme handles the heavy lifting of integration. Your team provides API access to your CRM and calendar and approves the initial knowledge base. Most setups require less than 5 hours of total human time from internal staff.
