## Kai terms

| Term                    | What it means                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Account owner**       | The teammate who owns a [contact](/concepts/contacts). A new conversation from that customer goes to the owner while it is unassigned. See [Account owners](/concepts/account-owners).                |
| **Answer library**      | The part of the Brain that holds one entry per question your customers ask, with the other ways they ask it.                                                                                          |
| **Attribute**           | A field your workspace keeps on every contact, such as `Package`. You define it once, then fill it. See [Workspace attributes](/concepts/attributes).                                                 |
| **Autopilot**           | A [mode](/product/modes) where Kai sends a reply without a person. It sends only what the scope allows, and the other gates still hold.                                                               |
| **Brain**               | Everything Kai learned from your history: the answer library, the conversation flows, the human handoff rules, the communication rules, the brand voice and the current information. It is versioned. |
| **Brand voice**         | The part of the Brain that holds your greetings, your sign-offs and the phrases to avoid.                                                                                                             |
| **Channel**             | One connection between Kai and a place customers write. Intercom and WhatsApp Cloud today. See [Channels](/product/channels).                                                                         |
| **Communication rule**  | A rule in the Brain about what Kai must never say.                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Contact**             | One customer: the core details, the attributes, and the account owner. See [Contacts](/concepts/contacts).                                                                                            |
| **Conversation flow**   | The steps Kai follows in one situation, such as a price request.                                                                                                                                      |
| **Copilot**             | A [mode](/product/modes) where Kai writes a draft and a coaching note, and a person sends it. Nothing reaches a customer unread.                                                                      |
| **Corpus**              | The past conversations you imported. Kai compiles a Brain from it.                                                                                                                                    |
| **Current information** | The live values Kai may quote, such as a price or a payment link. It is not part of a Brain version, so a change applies to the next reply with no review and no publish.                             |
| **Draft**               | A reply Kai wrote for a person to send. Kai drafts instead of sending whenever a gate holds the reply back.                                                                                           |
| **Escalation**          | Kai hands the conversation to a teammate instead of answering.                                                                                                                                        |
| **Groundedness**        | The rule that a number in a reply must appear in current information, in a non-volatile answer, or in the conversation itself. If it does not, the reply becomes a draft.                             |
| **Human handoff**       | The part of the Brain that holds the conditions where Kai must stop and let a person answer.                                                                                                          |
| **Identity**            | One handle that belongs to a contact: an email address or a phone number. Kai matches on it exactly, and never merges two contacts on a guess. See [Identity](/concepts/identity).                    |
| **Import**              | An upload of chat export files, and the compile that follows it.                                                                                                                                      |
| **Intent**              | What a customer is asking for. Kai classifies each message into one, and a conversation flow is written per intent.                                                                                   |
| **Placeholder**         | What Kai writes in place of a phone number, an email address or a payment reference. It is applied during the import, before any model reads a word.                                                  |
| **Published**           | A Brain version that channels may answer from. A published version cannot be edited: **Edit as a new draft** opens a copy.                                                                            |
| **Review queue**        | The list of Brain items waiting for a decision. You approve, edit or reject each one. Items badged **Blocks publishing** come first.                                                                  |
| **Source**              | One surface inside a channel, such as Messenger, WhatsApp, email or SMS in one Intercom workspace. Each source can carry its own mode.                                                                |
| **Takeover**            | A person replies on a conversation, so Kai stops acting on it. The conversation stays with your team.                                                                                                 |
| **Template**            | A message that Meta approved. WhatsApp needs one to write outside the 24-hour window. See [Message templates](/product/channels#message-templates).                                                   |
| **Workspace**           | One company in Kai: its people, its channels, its Brain and its contacts.                                                                                                                             |
