## Overview

**Maestro AI** is the artificial intelligence layer of ConversaLabs. It works as a copilot for your
team: it suggests replies, drafts messages, runs actions across your modules (CRM, Calendar, Catalog
and more) and helps you operate the account faster — always under your confirmation.

The **Account Brain** (Maestro Brain) is your company's knowledge and context base inside the
platform. Think of it as a "second brain" or digital twin: it gathers documents, objectives, concepts
and relationships from your business into a searchable, traceable model. From that knowledge, Maestro
produces answers that cite their source, organizes departments and generates analysis and insights.

The relationship between the two is simple: the **Brain** is the source of truth (what your company
is and knows) and **Maestro AI** is what uses that knowledge to act. The richer the Brain, the better
Maestro's suggestions and actions.

## Prerequisites

- A ConversaLabs account with **Maestro enabled** for your plan/account.
- The **Account Brain** is an optional capability — it may depend on specific enablement for your
  account. If you can't find it, contact an administrator.
- **Administrator** permission to configure, provision and adjust autonomy.
- For voice/dictation features, an up-to-date browser with microphone permission.
- **Per-account AI keys (optional)**: under *Integrations* you connect provider keys (OpenAI,
  Anthropic, Google, Groq, xAI, **DeepSeek**, OpenRouter, **Cohere**, ElevenLabs) used by this
  account's agents — the Cohere key also keeps the knowledge base indexing as a fallback.
- **Tavily key (optional)**: it sits on the same screen but is **not a chat provider** — no model
  ever runs on it and it never appears in the robot's model chain. It is the key that unlocks the
  **web search** and **page reading** tools.

## Step by step

1. Open the **Account Brain** area from the platform navigation.
2. Run the **assisted onboarding** (by voice or text) so Maestro understands your business and
   provisions the basics — see the voice onboarding article.
3. Feed the **knowledge corpus** with documents, objectives and operational information.
4. Use the **generative copilot** in conversations to suggest replies and propose actions.
5. Configure **departments**, autonomy, and review **insights** and **risk analysis**.

## Settings & options

- **Maestro per channel/inbox**: you can control where Maestro acts.
- **Per-module tools**: you enable which actions Maestro may propose/execute (CRM, Calendar, Catalog,
  etc.).
- **Autonomy**: each department can run at an autonomy level (for example, read-only or with human
  approval) — nothing destructive happens without confirmation.
- **Knowledge (corpus)**: the sources the Brain indexes to answer with source references.
- **Language**: by default the robot speaks the account's language — see the section below.

### Which language the robot replies in

The **account's language** is the baseline. It is the language set in **Settings → Account** — the
same one that drives the dashboard — and the robot writes in it by default, with nothing for you to
configure.

Two things change that:

1. **The contact writes in another language.** If someone clearly writes in Spanish to an account set
   to Portuguese, the robot answers in Spanish and keeps following the contact for as long as they use
   that language. This is automatic and needs no setting.
2. **You pin a language on the robot.** In the robot's form, the **Language** field defaults to
   **Automatic (account language)**. Pick a specific language and it applies to that robot, even if the
   account uses a different one.

So the order is: **the language picked on the robot → the account's language → the contact can
override it by what they write**. The same language drives the other surfaces: audio transcription,
image and document reading, the conversation summary, copilot suggestions and voice calls.

Every language the platform supports is available (not just Portuguese, English and Spanish).

## Use cases

- Speed up support replies with suggestions grounded in company knowledge.
- Create CRM deals, schedule appointments and build orders straight from the conversation.
- Centralize manuals, policies and objectives so the whole operation answers consistently.
- Track risks and opportunities with automatically generated insights.

## Tips, limits & best practices

- Start with **onboarding** and the **corpus**: Maestro is only as good as the knowledge it receives.
- Keep knowledge up to date — stale information produces outdated suggestions.
- Start with conservative autonomy (with approval) and increase as trust grows.
- Maestro **proposes**; the team **confirms**. Use this to keep quality high.

## Troubleshooting

- **I don't see Maestro/the Brain**: it may not be enabled for your account or profile — contact an
  administrator.
- **Suggestions feel generic**: enrich the knowledge corpus and redo onboarding.
- **Nothing executes**: confirm the module tools are enabled and that you have permission.
