Aidan’s AI Advisor

An Always‑On Advisor answers visitor questions, explains your services and points people to relevant links (booking, contact or resources) using text or a chosen voice.

You upload approved FAQs, guides or onboarding material so it explains documented processes and directs members to help or booking pages—published Advisors are public to anyone with the link.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Your audience has questions.
Your expertise already has the answers.

Always-On Advisor closes the gap between interest and action with a useful conversation grounded in your work.

FROM CONTENT TO CONVERSATION

Build your advisor in three clear steps.

You bring the expertise. The guided setup turns it into a useful, controlled experience for your audience.

  1. 1
    SHAPE THE ADVISOR

    Define its job and personality

    Choose who it helps, how it should sound, what it can discuss, and which next steps it can recommend.

  2. 2
    ADD YOUR KNOWLEDGE

    Upload the work behind your thinking

    Upload PDF, DOCX, EPUB or text documents. Import one public webpage and approve its extracted text. For recordings, upload an existing transcript.

  3. 3
    GO LIVE

    Share it wherever people need you

    Test an answer, prepare your voice and review what visitors will see. Then publish a direct link or add your Advisor to your website.

What will I do during setup?
  1. Choose its purpose

    Pick a template, define your audience and customize the opening greeting.

  2. Add a focused set of knowledge

    Start with a service guide, member FAQ or transcript. Select up to 20 files at once, with a maximum of 50 MB per batch. PDF, DOCX and EPUB: 10 MB each. TXT, Markdown and CSV: 2 MB each.

  3. Check the experience

    Ask a test question, review the answer and prepare your selected voice. Set the boundaries and booking or resource links.

  4. Review and publish

    Confirm the material is suitable for public answers. Copy your visitor link or website embed. Follow the in-app setup steps at your own pace.

USEFUL BY DESIGN

More than a talking avatar.

A practical way to share your thinking, answer common questions and help visitors choose a useful next step.

◉

Your recognizable voice

Upload a clear voice recording to create a synthetic version of your own voice, or choose an available library voice. You must own the voice or have explicit permission.

↗

Helpful next steps

◎

Review and improve answers

Test the questions your audience is likely to ask. Review supporting sources and approve corrections before publishing.

⌁

Fits your existing business

Share a link or embed your Advisor. Add up to three links to a booking calendar, contact page or useful resource.

YOUR EXPERTISE STAYS YOURS

Built for thoughtful, responsible use.

Always-On Advisor is developed and supported by Short Circuit Media.

①

You control the knowledge

Your content remains yours. Choose what the Advisor can use, correct its answers, and remove material when needed.

②

You set the boundaries

Decide what it should avoid, when it should admit uncertainty, and when a human should take over.

③

A clear setup path

Every plan includes in-app steps for your profile, knowledge, voice and links, with an answer test before your first launch.

FROM THE SPEAKING COMMUNITY

Expert perspective

“Every speaker in the room has the same problem. The planner’s questions arrive after hours, between sessions, or right before we make a decision without them. Always-On Advisor fixes that. You give it your one-sheet, your programs, and your keynote transcripts. It talks to planners in your voice about audience fit, outcomes, and formats, then guides the qualified ones to your calendar. This is the tool I point speakers to first. It works for ANY business, any event, any tourism board. It’s a game changer.”

James D. Feldman, CSPCEO, International Platform Association

Booking links open your existing calendar; they do not book appointments automatically. Setup means guided steps inside the product, not a done-for-you build. Ask Aidan about hands-on help or custom requirements.

Compare upload limits and what happens when minutes run out

All plans use the same document upload limits: Select up to 20 files at once, with a maximum of 50 MB per batch. PDF, DOCX and EPUB: 10 MB each. TXT, Markdown and CSV: 2 MB each. These are batch limits, not a total document allowance.

Voice knowledge currently supports up to 100,000 characters of approved material per Advisor. For a larger voice library, talk with Aidan before choosing a plan.

When voice minutes run out, voice pauses until the allowance resets or you add minutes. Text chat remains available on an active plan. Optional top-ups: 100 minutes for $20 USD, 250 for $45, 500 for $80, or 1,000 for $149.

Voice allowances reset monthly, including on annual plans. Purchased minutes roll over while your subscription remains active.

Try any plan for 14 days without a credit card. Additional voice minutes can be purchased later and roll over while your subscription remains active.

30-day money-back guarantee on new subscriptions. Request a refund within 30 days of your first paid subscription charge. See refund details

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

What people want to know before they begin.

Try the live Advisor demo →
Will it invent answers that are not in my material?

You choose the answer policy. It can use only approved sources or clearly identify when it is drawing on general knowledge. You also set topics to avoid and what it should do when uncertain.

Can I import recordings or a whole website?

Use an existing TXT transcript to add a recording’s content. Knowledge accepts PDF, DOCX, EPUB, TXT, Markdown and CSV. Import webpage previews one public HTTPS page for your approval, with its URL kept for citations. Some pages cannot be imported; upload an authorized text or PDF export instead. Saving your profile website address does not import content, and the importer does not crawl or sync a whole website. Voice cloning is a separate step.

Do I need technical skills?

No. The setup guides you through your profile, purpose, audience, personality, knowledge, voice, boundaries, and calls to action.

Can it really sound like me?

You can shape its tone, depth, humour, point of view, storytelling style, and signature phrases. With permission, a recognizable synthetic voice can make conversations feel natural.

Where can people use it?

Share a direct link or add the Advisor to your existing website. Add links to your booking calendar, contact page or resources. Ask Aidan about any custom integration before choosing a plan.

Who owns my content and voice?

Your content remains yours. Voice cloning requires confirmation that you own the voice or have explicit permission to create its synthetic version.

What happens after the trial?

Your Advisor and uploaded knowledge remain safely stored. Choose a paid plan to keep it published; you will not be charged automatically without selecting a plan.

YOUR BEST THINKING SHOULD KEEP WORKING
