Tenant
A tenant represents your Animam account. Each tenant has:- A unique slug (e.g.,
my-company) - A corpus (knowledge base)
- Segments (contexts)
- A configurable personality
Corpus
The corpus is your chatbot’s knowledge base. It’s the content it uses to answer questions. Each corpus entry has:- A title (for organization)
- Content (the text the bot knows)
- An optional segment (for context)
- A priority (high-priority entries are preferred)
Segments
Segments allow different contexts for different pages. Example:- Segment
landing: general questions about your product - Segment
pricing: questions about pricing - Segment
support: technical questions
Personality
The personality defines how the bot expresses itself:| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The bot’s name (e.g., “Alice”, “Support”) |
| Title | Its role (e.g., “Sales Assistant”) |
| Lore | Its background/context |
| Tone | Professional, casual, friendly |
| Formality | Formal or informal address |
| Emojis | Allowed or not |
API Tokens
API tokens allow programmatic API access. Each token has scopes (permissions):corpus:read/corpus:writeconversations:readsettings:read/settings:write*(full access)
Bridges
Bridges are how the agent acts on third-party systems without building a parallel data store. Instead of capturing leads, orders or subscriptions in an Animam-owned table, the agent calls the system the tenant already runs and lets it persist the data — so existing automations (Zapier, notification emails, CRM connectors) keep firing untouched. Today three bridges ship in the WordPress plugin:| Bridge | What the agent does | Where data lands |
|---|---|---|
| WPForms | Submits the form on behalf of the visitor through the native WPForms pipeline | WPForms entries (existing automations preserved) |
| WooCommerce | Searches products, adds to cart; checkout stays native | WooCommerce orders |
| MailPoet | Subscribes the visitor to whitelisted lists, double opt-in preserved | MailPoet subscribers |
Connectors
Connectors authenticate the agent into outbound services so the chatbot can act on the tenant’s behalf. Today the platform ships connectors for Google Calendar (BOOK_MEETING + CHECK_AVAILABILITY) and Stripe (COLLECT_PAYMENT). Each connector auto-injects the tools it powers into the agent’s toolbelt — no manual configuration needed once OAuth or API keys are linked.Multi-tenant (Enterprise)
In Enterprise mode, you can create child tenants:- A parent dashboard to manage everything
- Independent child chatbots
- Complete white-label (no Animam mention)
