Rundoo AI is the AI built into Rundoo. In Chat, ask it questions about your store's data in plain English — "what are our top products this month," "how much does Nebo's Painting Service owe us," "which vendors haven't shipped in 30 days." In Agents, set up scheduled jobs that run on their own and text you the results. Either way, it reads the same numbers you'd pull out of Reports and Dashboards.

In the POS mode, Rundoo AI lives at the bottom of the left sidebar under Analytics. You can also jump in from two entry points in the header: the Rundoo AI sparkle in the top-right, and the Ask AI row at the bottom of any Search result.

What Rundoo AI can answer

Rundoo AI is grounded in your store's data — the same sales, inventory, customers, and AR that power Reports and Dashboards. It's good at questions that would otherwise send you hunting across reports:

• Sales and revenue — "what were our top 5 products by revenue this month," "how did last month compare to the month before," "what were today's total sales."
• Product mix — "which departments are growing," "what's our best-selling Benjamin Moore color," "which SKUs haven't sold in 60 days."
• Customers and AR — "which customers have the highest outstanding balances," "what's Nebo's Painting Service's YTD revenue," "who hasn't bought in 30 days that usually does."
• Inventory and vendors — "which products are understocked," "what should I reorder from Benjamin Moore this week," "which vendors are slow to ship."

Think of it as a shortcut when you know the question but don't know which report to open.

Two modes on one page: Chat and Agents

At the top of the Rundoo AI page, a Chat | Agents toggle flips between the two modes the assistant runs in.

Chat is the ask-a-question mode — a live conversation where you type a question and Rundoo AI answers from your data. It's the rest of this Rundoc. Stay here when you want an answer right now.

Agents is where you set Rundoo AI up to run on its own. A morning Daily AI Summary texted to your phone with yesterday's numbers and anomalies, a weekly Benjamin Moore reorder drafted for your review, a competitor-pricing watch that pings you when a SKU moves. Agents run on a schedule and deliver results without you opening Rundoo. See AI Agents for the full walkthrough — creating an agent, picking a schedule, and the built-in templates like the Daily AI Summary.

Not sure where to start? Common AI workflows is a menu of prompts and agent setups organized by business area — relationships, pricing, inventory — so you can crib one that fits your store.

Asking a question

There are three ways in:

1. The Rundoo AI tab — open POS mode → Analytics group → Rundoo AI in the left sidebar. This is the full chat surface, with every prior conversation saved down the left.
2. The Rundoo AI sparkle in the header — top-right, far right of the header action cluster. Same destination, one click from anywhere in the app.
