  SnobBots Glossary

  A

  AI Agent

  An AI-powered assistant capable of interacting with users, answering questions, automating tasks, and performing actions such as lead generation or scheduling. In SnobBots, an AI agent and an AI chatbot refer to the same system.

  AI Chatbot

  A public-facing version of an AI agent that is embedded on a website. It engages with visitors, answers queries, and interacts with users in real time.

  AI Model

  The underlying machine learning model used to power an AI agent’s behaviour. SnobBots may use different models such as GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 depending on your subscription level and performance needs.

  Agency Dashboard

  The admin view for organisation owners who manage SnobBots accounts, branding, client settings, and platform-wide configurations.

  Agency Profile

  The area where white-labelled branding, colours, display names, and platform identity settings are configured.

  Agency User

  A user who signs up to manage their own instance of the SnobBots platform under a white-labelled setup.

  Agency Wallet

  A central billing wallet used for metered activity, such as AI message generation, data storage, or add-on agents. Usage costs are deducted from the balance in real time.

  Auto Billing

  The automated system that tops up wallet balances or subscription credits when they fall below a specified threshold.

  B

  Base System Prompt

  The core instruction set that defines an AI agent’s personality, rules, tone, and behaviour. It guides how the agent responds in different scenarios.

  Billing Usage & Settings

  The dashboard area where subscription details, payment method, usage history, and cost breakdowns are displayed.

  C

  Chatbot

  A conversational interface powered by an AI agent. The chatbot knows your business information and interacts with users through natural language.

  Chatbot Dashboard

  The configuration panel where users can adjust AI behaviour, set system prompts, upload training data, manage integrations, and personalise the chatbot’s design.

  Characters (Storage)

  The amount of text stored in an AI agent’s knowledge base. Character count represents how much information can be uploaded or scraped for training.

  Citations / Sources

  References that show which pieces of your uploaded knowledge the AI relied on when generating a response.

  Complimentary Credit

  Free credit allocated to new users during trials or onboarding. This credit can be used for AI message generation or storage.

  Context Window

  The maximum amount of text an AI model can process at one time. A larger context window allows the AI to handle more detailed conversations and documents.

  Conversational AI

  The AI technology that enables agents to understand and respond to natural language input. This powers human-like conversations between users and your AI chatbot.

  Cost per AI Message Sent

  The usage cost charged each time an AI agent generates a message. Costs vary depending on the AI model used.

  Custom Menu Links

  Additional navigation items added to the left-hand dashboard menu, linking to external resources or internal pages.

  Custom Styling

  Branding controls that allow agencies to change colours, logos, and visuals across their white-labelled SnobBots platform.

  D

  Default Chatbot

  The chatbot that is automatically duplicated for all newly created sub-accounts. Only one default can exist at a time.
