The grounded web employee

If your website is the front door, then your Grounded AI employee is the front desk.

When someone walks into your business, you do the best you can to greet, inform and sometimes educate them on your services. You are an expert and have spent years passing that wisdom down to your staff and employees.

Now AI makes it possible to ground that expertise into your website too. It is configured and kept secure by specific safety guardrails (see Totsuka operating docs) to make sure nothing sensitive gets exposed: just the wealth of knowledge a website alone could never express on its own.

Built and managed to stay up to date with you and your operations. You can be assured that your brand will be carried as it routes visitors to what they came for and qualifies interested leads looking to be new clients. The Grounded AI employee turns your website from a static brochure into a front desk that works around the clock.

Differentiators

Set Guardrails. It won’t quote, book, take a payment, or make a call that should be yours.

Better Quality Leads. Captures each visitor’s need and contact, and hands you a structured summary.

Bilingual. French and English at the same standard, no gap between them.

Managed and hosted. Altheia runs it, hosts it, and keeps it current.

Frequently asked

What happens when it doesn’t know the answer?

It says so, plainly, and hands the visitor to you. It does not guess. Answering only from your business’s knowledge is the entire design, and “I don’t know, a person will take it from here” is it working, not failing.

Where do its answers come from?

Only from the knowledge you give it: your services, processes, prices, and facts, gathered during setup and kept current under your Care plan. It doesn’t answer from the open internet, and nothing behind the scenes is exposed to visitors.

Can it book appointments, quote prices, or take payments?

No, by design. It won’t quote, book, take a payment, or make a call that should be yours. It informs, routes, captures the visitor’s need and contact details, and hands you a structured lead summary. The decisions stay with you.

What do the Care plans cover?

Standard ($100/mo) keeps it answering and capturing 24/7 with grounding upkeep twice a year; Plus ($150/mo) refreshes grounding four times a year. Both include scheduled system and model updates, and both drop with annual prepay ($90/$140). Altheia hosts and manages everything. You hold no keys and maintain nothing.

What does it cost to get started?

On a site you already have: a one-time $350 deploy fee plus your Care plan. No site yet? Pandora builds one with the web employee included for $700 one-time. Either way, a person confirms scope on a call before any fee, no payment online.
