Just tell us the job.

Describe what is annoying you this month in your own words. Elephant AI names the one Cockpit product built for that job, explains why it chose it, and opens the page so you can decide for yourself.

Say the job.
See the route.

The walkthrough

Two minutes, start to finish.

Watch Elephant AI run once, end to end — the job going in, the work coming back, and the moment you approve it.

The whole workflow

From a sentence to the right product in four steps.

No product tour to sit through. No eight-page comparison table. You describe the job in the words you already use for it.

  1. Say what you need help with in plain language — a sentence is enough, and it does not have to be tidy.

  2. Elephant AI names the one specialist product built for that job, rather than listing everything it could sell you.

  3. You are told the reasoning — what it read in your sentence, and what it decided against.

  4. You choose whether to open that product page. Nothing is bought, added or changed by routing.

Design Studio

Why this one — I readmenustired

Menus, wine lists, signage and the printed pieces a guest actually picks up are guest-facing design that has drifted after years of in-house edits. That is the studio’s job.

Ruled out AI Food Dishes — nothing you described is a photograph.

What happens first

You send the current file and the printed version it came from. A direction comes back before anything is changed.

Routing opens a page, nothing more. Nothing is bought, added, published or changed from here — and this page never quotes a price.

Routed to Design Studio. Nothing was bought or changed.
The same sentence means four things

Same question.
Four unmistakably
different routes.

Constant inputOwner’s request
“Our food doesn’t look good online. I don’t know whether it’s the photos, the menu itself, or just us.”
Country-house hotelThe photography is fine. The menu is not.

Route: Design Studio. Your dish photography is already commissioned and consistent — what a guest actually meets first is a menu PDF typeset in Word and exported at the wrong size, sitting on the dining page. That is a design problem, not a photography one, so we are not sending you to AI Food Dishes. First step: you send the current menu file and the printed version it came from, and the studio shows you a direction before anything is changed.

Elephant AI · routing

Same sentence. Four routes. That is why the answer is one question rather than eight product pages you are left to compare alone.

What routing actually is

A way in.Not a ninth product.Included, never sold.

Elephant AI does not design, write, post, reply or price anything. It reads one sentence, names the product built for that job, explains the reasoning, and opens the page. The work itself always happens inside the specialist product, run by the people who own it.

How to start
  1. 1

    Describe the one thing that is annoying you this month

  2. 2

    Read the product it names and the reasoning behind it

  3. 3

    Disagree if it is wrong — say more and it will route again

  4. 4

    Open the product page it recommends, or close the tab

  5. 5

    Decide about that product on that product’s own page, in your own time

Trust is won on the hard ones

The honest routes are the ones that send you away.

A useful guide is only worth anything if it will tell you there is no product for your problem. These are the requests where routing has to admit a limit rather than reach for the nearest sale.

01Not a Cockpit job
The LarkfieldCountry-house hotel · first visit
“Our booking engine is awful — guests drop out halfway through and we lose direct bookings to the OTAs every week. Can you sort that?”
In your voice · accountable

No, and I would rather say that than route you somewhere adjacent. None of the eight Cockpit products is a booking engine, a channel manager or a payment flow, and nothing here will reduce a drop-off on a booking form. What you need is a property management system or booking engine vendor, and that is a different purchase from a different kind of company. Two honest things I can add. First, come back once that is fixed, because the pages around the booking — the rooms page, the arrival email, the photography — are things Cockpit does work on. Second, do not let anyone here tell you a menu redesign will win back direct bookings. It will not.

02Genuinely two products
Bramble HouseCoastal B&B · restaurant opening in eight weeks
“We’re opening a small restaurant in the barn in eight weeks and we have absolutely nothing — no menus, no signage, no photos, nothing to post. Which one product do we need?”
In your voice · accountable

This is two, and I am not going to squeeze it into one to make the answer tidier. Design Studio is the first, because menus, signage and the printed pieces a guest touches on opening night all have to exist and be on brand before anyone can photograph or post them. Content Engine is the second, and it should start after the room is real, because a publishing rhythm needs something true to publish. If you can only take one now, take Design Studio — eight weeks is a design timeline, not a content one. First step: open the Design Studio page, look at what an opening scope covers, and note that pricing for each product lives on its own page, not here.

03Too vague to route
The Quayside RoomsCity restaurant · returning visitor
“Honestly our whole marketing is a mess and I don’t know where to start.”
In your voice · accountable

I could name a product here and sound confident, but I would be guessing, and a wrong route costs you more time than a question does. So: which of these three annoyed you most in the last fortnight — something guests see that looks wrong, something you keep meaning to post and never do, or a quiet stretch in the diary you cannot explain? Answer with one of them, or just tell me what happened last week that made you type this. That sentence is usually enough to route properly, and it takes you less time to write than reading eight product pages would.

Nothing was sold in any of those three. That is the point — routing is only useful if it is free to tell you no.

The practical difference
8products
to understand1question
to answer

Eight products. One question.

Cockpit is eight specialist products, and reading all eight to work out which one matches your problem is real work you did not ask for. Routing turns that into one sentence in your own words — the job, not the category. You still read the product page, and you still decide there.

This is a claim about orientation, not performance. It says nothing about how well any product works, how quickly, or what it will do for your business — those questions belong on each product’s own page.

Routing opens a product page. It buys nothing, adds nothing and changes nothing.

The honest answers

Everything worth asking before you start.

No, and it would be a poor one. It does one job: read a plain-language description of a problem and name the Cockpit product built for it. It will not hold a conversation, answer questions about your business, or help with anything outside routing. If you type something it cannot route, it says so rather than improvising.

No. Elephant AI is included with Full Partner and is never sold separately — there is no version of it with a price on it, and no tier that unlocks a better one. That is also why no figure appears anywhere on this page. The products it routes you to are priced, clearly, on their own pages.

No. It names one product, not a bundle, and the reasoning tells you what it ruled out and why. When a job genuinely needs two products it says two and tells you which to start with. When Cockpit is the wrong tool for what you have described, it says that and routes you nowhere.

Then you get told, plainly. Cockpit covers guest-facing design, publishing, food photography, arrival experience, review responses, marketing-money tracking and social performance. It does not cover booking engines, property management systems, rotas, payroll, EPOS or recruitment. If your problem sits outside the eight, routing says so rather than pointing you at the nearest thing.

No. It routes. It does not design a menu, write a post, photograph a dish, reply to a review, price a room or publish anything. All of that happens inside the specialist product, run by the people who own it. Elephant AI’s entire job ends the moment the right page is open in front of you.

It is used to work out the route and to see which requests come up often, so the routing gets better at the jobs owners actually have. Do not type guest names, booking references, card details or staff matters — routing needs nothing more specific than “our menus look tired”, and a sentence that vague works perfectly.

Yes, and plenty of owners should. If you already know you have a review problem, go straight to Review Responder. Routing exists for the first visit, when eight products is simply more than anyone wants to read through to find out whether one of them is relevant.

There is no single right answer, and any guide that gives you one is guessing. In practice owners tend to start where the irritation is loudest and most visible to guests — often Design Studio, because a tired menu or dated signage is seen by everyone who walks in, or Review Responder, because the review inbox is the thing people actively dread. Describe your own situation and you will get a better answer than that generalisation.
