Industry-Specific Frequently Asked Questions

1. For Contractors: Can Flarite screen out solicitors and out-of-area callers before texting me?

2. For Clinics & Med-Spas: Will Flarite ever invent medical advice or misquote treatment prices?

Never. Flarite enforces deterministic RAG grounding: it only repeats the exact insurance plans, consultation fees, prep instructions, and office policies you paste into your Knowledge Base. Any clinical or diagnostic question is cleanly escalated to your staff.
