Eli, your assistant

What is Eli, Nimanto's assistant?

By Nimanto 2 min read

In short

Eli is Nimanto's built-in helper, drawn as the brand's elephant. You type what you want, such as making an invitation or adding guests, and Eli does it through the same buttons the website uses, under the same rules, stopping for your tap before anything is sent, published or paid.

Eli is the helper that lives inside Nimanto. It is drawn as the brand's own elephant, and signed-in hosts can talk to it from an Ask Eli pill on almost every page (Chat with Eli in the app).

What Eli is for

You say what you want in your own words: "Create an invitation for my daughter's birthday", "Add these guests", "Who hasn't replied?", "What's my plan?". Eli works it out, asks only for what is still missing, and then does it.

Eli has no powers of its own. Everything it does goes through the same function the website's own button calls, as you. That means every rule you already know holds for Eli too: your plan's allowances, who may change what on a shared invitation, the e-mail checks, the prices, and what Design Genie will and will not draw.

How a chat feels

  • You type, or tap the microphone and speak.
  • Eli answers in short sentences, with the answer first.
  • Facts come back as cards, not long paragraphs: your invitations as tiles, your guests as a table, your plan as figures.
  • Every page Eli mentions is a tappable link, so you can jump straight to it.
  • When Eli needs several details, it asks for them as a numbered list.

Anything that would reach other people, go live, delete something, cost money or add many guests at once stops at a confirm card. Nothing happens until you tap the card's button. See How Eli asks you to confirm.

What Eli knows

Eli knows two things: facts about your own account, read through its tools, and Nimanto's own Help Center, which it reads to answer "How does this work?" questions. It is told never to invent a price, a limit, a date or a plan rule.
