Find your answer by topic
Jump straight to the answers below — every topic opens right here on the page.
Getting started
On your first hire the first 7 days are free, and the first charge lands on day 8. A card sits on file from the start, and nothing is taken before that day. Cancel inside those 7 days and you pay nothing. Hires after the first one start without a trial.
Your first hire is charged on day 8, together with any channels you added to it. Every hire after the first is charged on the day you make it. Setup is free.
Open Quick post, write your message, pick the channels, and publish — or schedule it on the content calendar. You can publish up to 5 quick posts a day.
Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp Business and Google Business Profile are supported. Each AI employee includes the first channel you connect; every channel after it is $9. Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and Google Business Profile you connect yourself; WhatsApp Business is available by application.
No. Templates, a media library, and the AI employee you hire handle the heavy lifting.
Connecting your accounts
Go to Connections, choose Facebook, and approve access. You connect a Page you manage — personal profiles are not used for posting.
Connect your Instagram professional account through the Connections page. It links alongside your Facebook Page.
Add your Telegram channel or bot in Connections and confirm — your AI employee can then post and reply there.
The Connections page shows which channel dropped and lets you connect it again. You can also ask your own assistant to reconnect it for you.
Posting & scheduling
Up to 5 auto-posts a day and 5 quick posts a day per business. The content calendar shows everything scheduled across your channels.
Yes. Pick a date and time on the content calendar and the post publishes automatically to the channels you chose.
Yes. Select Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram (and any extra channels) and publish to all of them from a single composer.
The content calendar gives you a month and week view of every scheduled and published post per business.
Your AI employees
It replies to direct messages on your connected channels in your brand voice, from your catalog, hours and rules. Every employee comes with its own 1,000 replies a month; if you hire the same role twice, the two allowances add up into one figure.
Yes. Calibrate your AI employee’s voice and rules so replies sound like you. You set what it should and should not say.
Every answer your AI employee writes, text or voice alike. A reply counts when your employee writes it, whether or not the platform delivers it — if a channel refuses a reply, we mark it as undelivered in your inbox so you can send it yourself.
Your AI employee hands off to you when a conversation needs a person, so nothing important slips through.
Catalog & CRM
Your products or services with prices and details — shown to customers and used by your AI employees to answer questions.
Yes. The CRM keeps your customers, orders, and bookings in one place so you can follow up without spreadsheets.
Yes. Manage bookings in the CRM and let your AI employee answer availability questions for your customers.
Yes. Add multiple businesses — each one has its own channels, catalog, and subscription.
Billing & plan
Hireable roles are $49/month and include one channel; the AI Receptionist is the same $49/month with its phone line and 250 minutes included; need more calls, hire a second receptionist — the minutes add up. Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and Google Business Profile you connect yourself; WhatsApp Business is available by application. Every channel you add after the first is $9/month, whichever it is. Each employee has 1,000 AI replies a month, plus the tools that support its role. Roles marked as in development on the staff page cannot be hired yet — describe the work in the form and we build roles in the order businesses ask for them.
No. You set it up yourself in your own ChatGPT — there is nothing to pay for setup. Works with ChatGPT today; Claude and the Gemini app are next.
Each hire has its own 14-day money-back window, starting from that hire's first charge. On your first hire that charge lands on day 8; later hires are charged the day you make them. Email info@smashone.us inside the window for a full refund of that hire's subscription.
Every channel after the first is $9/mo. Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and Google Business Profile you connect yourself; WhatsApp Business is available by application. Your AI employee includes the first channel you connect; every channel after it is $9.
Account & security
Open the business switcher and add a new business. Each business is billed separately and keeps its own data.
Yes. Invite people and give each one a role — owner, admin or manager — so they only see what they need.
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and we never sell your data. Payments run through Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1).
Update your email, password, and two-factor settings in Account security at any time.
Channels
Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp Business and Google Business Profile. Each channel is assigned to an AI employee. Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and Google Business Profile you add yourself; WhatsApp Business is available by application.
Open Channels in your workspace, choose a channel, assign its AI employee, and connect it. Or say it to the ChatGPT app you already use — it does the same thing in the conversation. Either way it is added to your subscription and billed on your next cycle.
Yes. Remove a channel any time; it stops at the end of the current billing period.
