Yes. The assistant only answers from content the business owner has published and approved, and any preview built for a prospective customer stays private until that business approves it for public use. The owner controls what sources and boundaries the assistant uses, from a dashboard, and can change or correct that at any time.
Every preview starts private. Prospect previews are not visible to the public until the business itself approves that. One build referenced in the product's own examples — a healthcare-service business — stayed anonymous at the preview stage for exactly that reason.
The assistant only draws answers from the business's own published content: services, pricing, hours, policies, booking pages. It doesn't invent information, and every answer names the page it came from, so an owner can check the answer against the actual page.
From the dashboard, the owner sets which sources the assistant can use and where its boundaries are, and can update or correct that content going forward. Nothing about what the assistant says is fixed once it launches.
A visitor to The Fox Hollow's public demo (a real wedding and event venue in Woodbury, NY) asks: "If I fill out your inquiry form, will my information be shared anywhere?"
The assistant answers based on the venue's own published policy page. Source: Privacy & Booking Policy page.
If a question falls outside what's published, the assistant says it doesn't know and offers to connect the visitor with someone at the business instead of guessing at an answer.
Every answer names the page it came from, which cuts both ways for privacy: the owner can check any answer against the actual page it cites, and a visitor isn't getting a fabricated response that sounds authoritative but traces back to nothing. If the assistant can't verify an answer against published content, it says "I don't know" and offers a person rather than making something up. That fact-checking step runs on a second model, checking the answer against the business's own published pages — it isn't a separate rules or safety review, just an accuracy check.
A working example referenced by the product — a healthcare-service business — built and tested its assistant privately before deciding whether to make it public, which is the normal path: build it, test it in private, and only approve it for public use once it's ready. Nothing forces a business to go live before the owner is satisfied with what's published and how the assistant answers from it.
Just the business owner, until they approve it for public use. It's private by default.
Only what the owner has published and approved — services, pricing, hours, policies, booking pages. Nothing else.
