AI Assistant Notice

Version 1 · Effective August 6, 2026 · Last updated August 6, 2026

How the Tool Desk assistant works, what it stores, and its limits.

Provisional. Some business registration details are still being finalized, so a few entries below read “[to be confirmed]”. Everything else applies as written. Email us if you need a detail before it's posted.

You are talking to software

The Tool Desk assistant is an automated system, not a person. It never pretends otherwise. If you want a human, ask for one and we will pick it up by email.

What it can see

The assistant reads only public information: the live product catalog, published Help Center answers, published Field Notes articles, and our published policies. It cannot see other customers, orders, payment details, cost prices, supplier names, or any internal note.

What it can do

Answer questions about tools, batteries, compatibility, stock, and store policy, and place a temporary hold on an item for you. It cannot take payment, change an order, or issue a refund.

What it stores

Your messages, its replies, the sources it used, and a session identifier. If you are signed in, the conversation is linked to your account. Transcripts are reviewed to fix wrong answers and are deleted on the retention schedule set in our admin dashboard. Do not paste card numbers, passwords, or other sensitive personal information into the chat.

Where the processing happens

Message text is sent to our AI provider to generate a reply. It is not used to train public models by us.

It can be wrong

The assistant can misread a spec or miss a detail. Anything that affects safety, warranty, or a large purchase should be confirmed against the manufacturer's documentation or with us directly. Its answers are general information, not professional advice.

Accuracy rules we hold it to

It cites what it knows, says plainly when it does not know, never invents a spec or a price, never guarantees warranty coverage, and hands off to a human for complaints, safety issues, and anything involving your order.

Reporting a bad answer

Use the feedback control in the chat, or email jctoolsupply@gmail.com with what it said. We review every report.
