# Epic AI - Complete Business Information ## Company Overview Epic AI is an AI-powered software agency. We build chatbots, iOS apps, websites, automation systems, and custom business tools. We started by building software to solve our own problems: booking management, staff scheduling, automated reporting, referral tracking. Other business owners kept asking what tools we were using, and it turned into an agency. ### Core Values 1. **Software should solve real problems** - Every project starts with a specific business problem and ends with a measurable improvement. 2. **Simple beats clever** - We build things that are straightforward to use, not impressive but unused. 3. **Honest about what's possible** - AI is powerful but not magic. We tell you what's realistic for your situation and budget. 4. **Long-term relationships** - We want clients we can work with for years, not one-off projects. --- ## Services ### AI Chatbots & Assistants Custom AI chatbots for business websites trained on your specific data, including your handbook, FAQs, products, and policies. They handle 80% of customer questions automatically, capture leads, and escalate to human staff when needed. Integrates with Slack for alerts and Twilio for SMS follow-ups. Runs 24/7. **Page:** https://www.epicai.ai/services/chatbots ### AI-Powered iOS & Mobile Apps Native SwiftUI apps with built-in AI, not web wrappers or cross-platform compromises.
