Not a chatbot. An AI employee trained on your business — your industry, your voice, your customers. 50+ languages. Patent pending.

== Description ==

Everyone else built software. We built someone.

Atlas by Symkind puts a real AI employee on your WordPress site — not a chatbot that reads from a script, but an agent formed on your industry, your business, and your customers. Paste a URL. We build the employee. Live on your site in minutes.

Real estate, insurance, restaurants, solar, medical, law — 40+ industries. 11 patents filed.

**This is not ChatGPT in a widget.**

Generic AI gives every business the same answer. Atlas knows your industry like a 20-year veteran, represents your specific business, and speaks every customer in their own language while staying unmistakably you. That's Atlas Intelligence — formed, not prompted.

**What Atlas does that no generic AI can:**

* **Formed on your industry** — 50,000+ words of structured knowledge specific to your vertical, not a 200-word prompt.
* **Trained on your business** — your name, your services, your voice, your personality. Not a template.
* **Speaks 50+ languages as you** — detects the customer's language per turn, responds in it, preserves your identity across every language. Patent-pending.
* **Identity that holds** — Atlas won't break character, become a generic AI, or forget who you are mid-conversation. Loyalty-locked.
* **Lead intelligence built in** — guides visitors toward booking, calling, or connecting. Delivers a strategic brief to your inbox after every qualified conversation.
* **Returning customer memory** (Senior tier and above) — remembers every customer across sessions. Knows what they asked, what they bought, what they need next.
* **40+ industries** — architecture, insurance, real estate, plumbing, legal, dental, medical, automotive, solar, restaurants, wedding, education, and more.
* **11 patents filed** — genome composition, voice preservation, identity-preserving multilingual, boardroom orchestration, tiered historical accumulation, and more.

**For web designers and agencies:**

AI didn't come for your job. Generic AI did. Atlas is the tool that makes you irreplaceable. You deliver an AI employee trained on your client's actual business — something ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot physically cannot replicate. Your clients pay you every month because you built them something no AI tool can replace.

**Free tier included:**
Install and get a capable AI assistant with 100 messages/month at no cost. Upgrade to unlock the full industry genome, business training, lead intelligence, and all tiers.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `symkind-ai-agent` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Go to Settings > Symkind AI to configure your agent
4. Choose your industry, pick your subscription tier, set your business name, and customize colors
5. The chat widget appears automatically on your site

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need an API key? =
The free tier works without an API key (100 messages/month). For genome-powered agents with higher limits, get an API key at symkind.ai.

= What industries are supported? =
42 industries including architecture, insurance, real estate, home improvement, automotive, legal, dental, health, travel, wedding, education, and more.

= Does it really speak 50+ languages? =
Yes. Your agent detects the customer's language per turn and responds in that language — while preserving your business's voice, opinions, and specific recommendations. Spanish-you is still you. Patent-pending technology.

= What's the difference between the tiers? =
Associate ($500/mo) gives you the 50,000-word genome, lead intelligence briefs, and loyalty-lock to your business. Senior ($1,200/mo) adds returning-customer memory across sessions. Partner ($3,000/mo) adds cross-agent intelligence and a monthly custom layer. Super Agent ($10,000/mo) adds 13 deep behavioral layers — Master Sales Craft, Conflict De-escalation, Wit, Emotional Intelligence, Negotiation Psychology, and more.

= Can I customize the look? =
Yes. Change the widget color, position (left or right), business name, and greeting from the settings page.

= Can I remove the Symkind branding? =
Paid plans (Associate tier and above) can remove the "Powered by Symkind" branding.

= Is this GDPR compliant? =
Symkind does not store personal visitor data beyond what your tier requires for memory features. Conversations at Associate tier are processed in real-time and not retained. Senior tier and above retain compressed memory records of returning customers with your consent and the customer's.
