You provide approved FAQs and scripts during setup. The AI answers questions about CDL classes, endorsement requirements, training timelines, and FMCSA compliance topics using only your approved responses — no improvisation.","question":"Can the AI answer specific questions about FMCSA compliance and ELDT theory requirements?"},{"answer":"Every caller knows they're speaking with AI and can always reach a human, switch to text, or book online.
