Using Memory

Synton AI remembers information you teach it. This makes conversations more personalized.

Adding to Memory

Remember: Our brand voice is friendly and casual
Note that our target audience is millennials aged 25-35
Keep in mind that we have a summer sale planned for June 1st
Remember that our best-seller is the "Bamboo Water Bottle"

The AI confirms:

I'll remember that your brand voice is friendly and casual. I'll use this in future content generation.

Viewing Memory

What do you remember about my store?
Show me what you've learned about my brand

Updating Memory

Update: Our target audience is now 20-40, not just 25-35
Forget about the summer sale, it's cancelled
Change: Our best-seller is now the "Stainless Steel Tumbler"

Using Memory

The AI automatically uses memory for:

  • Content generation (applies brand voice)
  • Product suggestions (knows best-sellers)
  • Strategic decisions (understands your audience)

Follow-up Actions

After completing a task, the AI suggests next steps:

Your discount code is created! Would you like to:
- Generate promotional content?
- Schedule social media posts?
- Run a sales forecast agent?

You can:

  • Choose one of the suggestions
  • Ask something else
  • End the conversation

Quick Commands

Type these shortcuts in chat:

CommandWhat It Does
/statusShow store health summary
/memoryView saved memory
/clearClear conversation history
/helpShow available commands
/modulesList installed modules
/billingShow usage and billing info

Context Panel

The right sidebar shows what the AI knows:

  • Active Modules - Installed modules
  • Store Metrics - Quick stats
  • Recent Actions - Last 5 AI actions

Conversation History

All your conversations are saved. Access them from:

DashboardRecent Activity

Or:

Show me our conversation from yesterday about the discount
What did we discuss last week?

Best Practices

Be Conversational

The AI understands natural language. Talk like you would to a human assistant:

Natural:

Hey, can you help me figure out why sales dropped last week?
I'm thinking of adding a review system - what do you think?

Not necessary (but works):

Execute sales analysis query for date range 2024-01-01 to 2024-01-07
Deploy module: reviews, confirmation: yes

Provide Context

Give background when needed:

I'm running a Black Friday sale next month. Help me prepare by:
- Setting up discount codes
- Generating promotional content
- Creating email campaigns

Ask Follow-up Questions

If you don't understand something:

What do you mean by "featured collection"?
Can you explain how the preview link works?
How long will this change take to go live?

Verify Understanding

Make sure the AI understood correctly:

Just to confirm, this discount code will work for all products, not just the sale collection, right?

Break Down Complex Tasks

For complicated requests, split into steps:

Instead of:

Create discounts for all my collections, set up a loyalty program, and configure cart recovery

Do:

Let's set up a promotion system. First, show me my current collections.
[Review collections]
Okay, let's start with a 10% discount for the summer collection...

Safety Features

Confirmation for Critical Actions

For important actions, the AI asks for confirmation:

I'm about to delete 50 products. Are you sure you want to proceed? Type "yes" to confirm.

Rate Limiting

To prevent accidents, the AI rate limits:

  • Bulk deletions (max 10 per request)
  • Mass updates (max 100 per request)

Audit Trail

All actions are logged:

SettingsActivity Log

View:

  • What changed
  • When it changed
  • Who requested it (if team account)

Troubleshooting

AI Doesn't Understand

If the AI seems confused:

  1. Rephrase your request

    Let me rephrase that: I want to add a red banner that says "Sale"
    
  2. Provide more context

    I'm talking about the homepage banner, not the collection page banner
    
  3. Use follow-up questions

    Did you understand what I meant by "featured section"?
    

AI Made a Mistake

If something went wrong:

That's not what I wanted, can you fix it?

If the issue persists:

/help

And contact support if needed.

Advanced Features

Multi-turn Conversations

The AI maintains context across multiple messages:

You: "Show me products in the Summer collection"
AI: [Lists 15 products]
You: "Which of those are under $30?"
AI: [Filters list]
You: "Add a 20% discount to those"
AI: [Creates discount, applies to filtered products]

Conditional Requests

If my sales today are less than $500, create a flash sale discount
When product #123 reaches 5 units in stock, notify me
If cart abandonment rate goes above 70%, activate the cart recovery module

The AI can set up automated rules.
