Product Updates — A product list cannot answer questions about delivery, menus or policies. SOVA’s knowledge base gives the AI your documents to answer from, and shows you every answer it learns from your chats so you can correct it.
Product Updates — Every plan includes a monthly allowance of AI conversations and voice messages. Here is how SOVA shows your usage, warns you before it runs out and lets you top up for the rest of the month.
Product Updates — Choosing a plan, paying by card, finding invoices and cancelling should all be easy to understand. This guide walks through each step as it works in the SOVA dashboard.
