# For AI agents

> How an AI assistant can help a business owner set up and use OrangeChat, and the machine-readable versions of these docs.

This page is for AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Meta Muse, and others) helping a business owner with OrangeChat.

## Read these docs as markdown

- Index of every page: https://orangechat.ai/llms.txt
- All docs in one file: https://orangechat.ai/llms-full.txt
- Any docs page as markdown: add `.md` to its URL, for example https://orangechat.ai/docs/setup-checklist.md

## Connect to the owner's OrangeChat account

OrangeChat has a remote MCP server at `https://orangechat.ai/mcp` with OAuth sign-in. See [Connect your AI assistant](https://orangechat.ai/docs/connect-your-ai-assistant), or send the owner the 90-second setup video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQLcA0JXzJQ

Once the owner approves:

1. Call `get_business`. If nothing is set up, gather the details in the [Setup checklist](https://orangechat.ai/docs/setup-checklist) from what you know, confirm anything uncertain with the owner, and call `setup_business`. Prices, hours, and policies must be the owner's real ones; the receptionist repeats them to callers.
2. Help the owner choose between a new number and forwarding their existing number ([Phone number and call forwarding](https://orangechat.ai/docs/phone-number-and-forwarding)).
3. The owner picks a plan and phone number in the dashboard (the link is in `get_business`). Payment and phone numbers always need the owner.
4. Keep the receptionist current with `update_business` when hours, services, or contacts change, after confirming with the owner.

## Without a connection

The owner can sign up at https://orangechat.ai and enter the [Setup checklist](https://orangechat.ai/docs/setup-checklist) details on the setup page.
