Technical Comparisons With Verified AI: Speed Up Pre‑Sales

Pre‑sales questions are good news—until they pile up. “Pro vs Lite for outdoor use?”, “Which camera works with 42mm rails?”, “What’s the torque at 24V?” These are answerable from your docs, but pulling the right lines takes time.

With a cited, strict‑scope assistant, you can deliver short, trusted comparisons that keep prospects moving while your team focuses on edge cases.

How AI (and Seekdown) Solves It

1. Unify every product source. Seekdown ingests websites, catalogs, PDFs, and APIs into governed collections so answers stay scoped to the facts you trust.
2. Serve strict, cited responses. Retrieval, summarization, and tone controls ensure every AI answer cites the right SKU page or spec sheet—no hallucinations.
3. Guide conversions automatically. Intent-aware starters and CTAs route shoppers to quotes, carts, or humans the moment confidence dips.
4. Measure and improve. Built-in analytics expose intent coverage, low-confidence gaps, and assisted revenue so you can prove ROI and iterate weekly.

The Pre‑Sales Bottleneck

• Prospects want certainty on specs, variants, and compatibility.
• Product pages and PDFs have the answers, but they’re hard to extract on the fly.
• Sales ends up copy‑pasting tables and chasing confirmations.

What Good Looks Like

• 2–4 line comparison summaries with citations.
• Follow‑ups to capture use case (indoor/outdoor, temperature range, mounting system).
• CTAs: “See full comparison,” “Add compatible mount,” “Request a quote.”

Setup in Three Moves

1) Organize Sources

• Collections: Catalog and Policies (returns/warranty) for trust.
• Include spec tables and comparison charts; don’t skip PDFs.

2) Strict, Cited Answers

• Enforce “only from sources” policy; avoid speculative recommendations.
• If details are missing, say so and link the closest verified doc.

3) Design the Flow

• Starters: “Compare Pro vs Lite,” “Which camera for 42mm rails?”
• Follow‑ups: “Temperature range?” “Mounting system?” to tailor the answer.

Example Flow

User: “Compare Camera Pro vs Lite for outdoor use.”

Assistant: “Pro is IP67, −10°C to 45°C, 4K sensor. Lite is IP54, 0°C to 35°C, 1080p.”

• Citations: product pages + spec PDF.
• Follow‑ups: “Need 42mm rail compatibility?” “Night mode priority?”
• CTA: “See full comparison table” or “Add Pro + rail mount to cart.”

Metrics to Track

• Time to first cited comparison.
• Variant resolution rate after follow‑ups.
• Conversion assist on comparison‑driven pages.

Why Seekdown Fits Pre‑Sales

• Collections and tags keep scope focused on trusted specs.
• Behavior settings ensure neutral, brand‑fit tone.
• Lead capture forms trigger when the user needs a quote.

Prospects don’t want a debate; they want proof. Verified comparisons give them exactly that—fast.
