Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about our service, plans, and support

1 How the service works

What does Jemima AI actually do?

We design, build, and maintain AI powered workflows that save time and raise revenue for service businesses.

Is this a software licence or an agency service?

It is an agency service. You pay a monthly subscription for ready-made automations plus ongoing care.

Which business functions do you cover?

Lead generation, sales follow-ups, customer support, admin data entry, and simple marketing tasks.

How is success measured?

Success means the automation runs without technical faults and meets the agreed uptime, accuracy, and speed targets. We do not promise a set number of meetings or sales.

Do you need my developers to help?

No. The service is built for teams without in-house developers. We handle access set-up, integration, and maintenance for you.

Do you replace my sales or support staff?

No. Automations remove repeat tasks so staff can focus on higher-value work.

Can I see examples before I sign?

Yes. We show working demos during the scoping call.

Is the service one size fits all?

You choose from a library of proven workflows and we adjust them to your tools.

What industries do you serve most?

Agencies, consultancies, IT service firms, and online education providers.

Can you run a pilot first?

A Starter package is the minimum commitment. Many clients begin there, prove value on one workflow, then scale up to three under the same subscription.

2 Ready-made workflow library

What kinds of ready-made workflows can I choose?

The library covers lead capture, lead scoring, appointment booking, follow-up email, simple data entry, outbound social posts, and hand-off to human staff when needed.

What is included in a lead capture and follow-up workflow?

A web form collects the lead, enriches the record with firmographic data, writes a personal reply, and drops the details into your CRM with a score for fit and intent.

Can you automate appointment booking?

Yes. A calendar flow offers free slots, books the meeting, sends confirmation mail, and logs the event in your CRM.

Is there a marketing email nurture workflow?

Yes. The flow drafts branded follow-up mail, waits for opens or clicks, and moves warm leads into a nurture list for later campaigns.

Can I swap workflows during my plan?

Yes. Retire one flow and add another at any time, provided you stay within the number included in your subscription.

Are workflows improved over time?

Yes. We refine steps whenever new methods or tools prove better, and your live flows receive those upgrades at no extra cost.

Can I edit steps myself?

Light edits such as copy changes are possible, but we advise asking our team so you avoid breaking a working flow.

Which CRMs do the workflows support?

We supply variants for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and a generic API version that fits most other systems.

Do you supply social-media scheduling tasks?

Yes. A post scheduler drafts and queues LinkedIn updates, then logs engagement back to your mailbox.

How long does it take to connect a workflow to my tools?

Once we have the required access, most workflows are connected and tested inside one working day.

3 Minor edits vs bespoke builds

What counts as a minor edit?

A small change such as new email copy, a field-mapping tweak, or a different send time.

How many minor edits are included in the Starter plan?

Two minor edits each month.

What is classed as a bespoke build?

Any new workflow or change that needs more than two hours of work, including extra logic, new data sources, or fresh integrations.

How do I request a bespoke quote?

Send your goal, sample data, and preferred deadline. We provide a scope and fixed price within three working days.

Can a minor edit roll over if I do not use it?

Yes. One unused edit can roll forward for one month.

What happens if I exceed the edit limit?

Extra minor edits are billed at the standard day rate, agreed with you before work starts.

How long does a minor edit take to implement?

Most minor edits are made and tested within two working days of approval.

Is new sales copy a minor edit?

Yes, when the copy fits within an existing email or chat template.

Does adding a brand-new channel count as bespoke?

Yes. A fresh channel needs testing and integration, so it is treated as a bespoke build.

Who decides whether a task is minor or bespoke?

Our project team reviews each request and confirms the category before any work begins.

4 Getting started and onboarding

What is the first step after I sign?

We schedule a kick-off call to confirm your main goal, list the tools you use, and agree access.

Who needs to join that call?

In most one- or two-person firms the owner also holds the admin logins, so a single attendee is fine.

How long until the first workflow is live?

When access arrives promptly, the first automation usually goes live inside one working week.

Which access details do you need?

An admin login or API key for your CRM and email platform, plus permission to create webhooks. We never ask for raw database dumps.

How do I share credentials safely?

We guide you to send a one-time password-manager link or temporary token, rather than plain email text.

Is training required?

The workflows run in the background, so a short hand-over call and a two-page PDF checklist are normally enough.

When will I notice results?

Most clients see time saved and smoother follow-ups within the first fortnight of traffic flowing.

Can onboarding be faster?

Yes. Provide tool access within twenty-four hours and we can deploy in as little as two working days.

What if my software stack changes mid-project?

Tell us at once. We adjust the plan and timeline without extra charge if the overall scope stays similar.

What happens if I am not happy at launch?

We refine the flow until it meets the agreed technical standard, within a two-week launch window, at no extra fee.

5 Subscription plans and limits

What is included in the Starter plan?

Three ready workflows, one AI assistant, and five thousand interactions each month.

How does the Professional plan differ?

Ten workflows, three assistants, twenty thousand interactions, faster support, and quarterly reviews.

What is an interaction?

One inbound or outbound chat, email, or API call handled by a workflow.

What happens if I reach my interaction cap?

We alert you. You can upgrade or pay a small overage fee.

Can I downgrade later?

Yes. Changes take effect on the next billing cycle.

Is a contract required?

Monthly rolling agreement. No long tie-ins unless you choose annual billing.

Do plan prices include VAT?

Prices are shown without VAT; tax is added where applicable.

Can I mix plans across departments?

One account uses one plan. You can open separate accounts if needed.

What is the Custom plan?

Unlimited workflows, no cap on interactions, and bespoke work priced per scope.

Is data storage included?

Yes. Storage for logs and prompts is part of every plan.

6 Billing and payment

Which payment methods do you accept?

All methods accepted by Stripe for recurring subscriptions—major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and many local wallets.

When will my card be charged?

Stripe bills the card on the same calendar day each month, starting on the sign-up date.

Can I pay in euros or dollars?

Yes. Stripe can invoice in GBP, EUR, or USD; choose your currency when you subscribe.

Do you offer an annual payment discount?

Yes. Pay ten months in advance and receive two months free.

How do I get my invoices and receipts?

Stripe emails a PDF receipt after each charge and stores every invoice in your customer portal for download.

What happens if a payment fails?

Stripe retries automatically. After three failed attempts the subscription ends and workflows are placed in a dormant state until payment is made.

Can I add a purchase-order number to my invoice?

Yes. Enter the PO number during checkout or update it later in the billing portal before the next invoice issues.

Do you charge set-up fees?

No set-up fee for standard library workflows. Bespoke projects may carry a one-off fee that is quoted up front.

Can I pause my subscription?

Subscriptions cannot be paused. You may cancel at any time and we will hold your workflows in a dormant state ready for reactivation when you resubscribe.

How do I cancel?

Stop the recurring payment in Stripe or remove the card on file. The subscription ends automatically at the next renewal date and no further charges apply.

7 Support and service levels

Which support channels are open to me?

Email support is included with every plan. Professional and Custom plans can also use a private Slack chat for quick questions.

What are the support hours?

Weekdays 09:00 – 17:00 UK time for all plans.

How quickly will you reply?

Starter: within one working day. Professional: within four working hours. Custom: within one working hour.

Do you monitor my workflows in real time?

Yes. Automated alerts warn us of an error so we can fix it before it affects you.

How do I report a bug or issue?

Email jemima@jemima.ai with a short description and, if possible, a screenshot.

Will you tell me when a workflow is updated?

Yes. If a change affects how you use the workflow we send a brief email explaining what changed and why.

Do I need special training to use the service?

No. The automations run in the background. A short hand-over call and a two-page checklist cover everything you need.

Can I request a quick screen-share if I am stuck?

Yes. We can book a fifteen-minute video call to walk through the issue at no extra cost.

What counts as an urgent issue?

Any error that stops leads, emails, or bookings from flowing is treated as urgent and handled first.

What details should I include when I ask for support?

State the workflow name, what you expected, what happened, and the time it occurred. Attach a screenshot or error message if you have one. This helps us fix the issue faster.

8 Seeing progress day to day

How can I confirm the automation is running each day?

Look in your CRM or mailbox: new leads appear, follow-up emails send on schedule, and calendar bookings drop in without manual work.

Which screens should I watch?

During hand-over we show the exact list view or report inside each tool where the workflow writes its records.

Do you send separate usage reports or dashboards?

No. Your own tools hold the live data, and your hosted n8n workspace already shows run counts.

How do I check my current interaction count?

Log in to your hosted n8n account; the Usage page shows the number of workflow runs this month. The limit is enforced by n8n, not by the agency.

What happens if the n8n interaction limit is reached?

n8n either pauses extra runs or bills overage, depending on your n8n plan. You can upgrade that plan at any time.

How often do you check the workflow from your side?

We run an automated technical check every month. If an error appears we fix it or contact you before changing anything.

How do I request a quick tweak, such as new email wording?

Send the new copy by email. We apply the change under your monthly edit allowance.

Can I book a review call to look at performance?

Yes. Professional and Custom plans include a brief quarterly review call at no extra charge.
