Yes, Mendable offers a 'teach the model' functionality where you can correct the AI response and it will learn from it.

Is it 100% accurate?

Like Humans, AI will never be 100% accurate. So we can't assure you that every solution will be correct.

Simply log into our platform, go to your account and click on "Open customer portal" button. There you will be able to cancel/modify it through Stripe.

How does Mendable work?

Our application syncs with your documentation and support channels, then uses your docs and previously answered questions to suggest possible answers.

How does Mendable price custom plans?

Use case Mendable differentiates between internal and external use cases. With Mendable, we give you the ability to use our chat bots for a variety of use cases, both for internal efficiency and external communication to your customers.
Total usage For specifically external use cases, you will only pay for the value you're receiving. Mendable will look at the total number of messages sent during a month.
Custom work If there are any special feature requests (custom data connectors, etc.), we are happy to discuss these requirements!

Integrating Mendable Components with React 17

To integrate Mendable components into your React 17 application, start by including the Mendable script in your project. Insert the following line in the <head> section of your index.html file:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@mendable/search@0.0.206-beta.2/dist/umd/mendable-bundle.min.js"></script>

Next, use the useEffect hook within your main App component to initialize Mendable. Here's how you can do it:

import { useEffect } from 'react';

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    const initializeMendable = () => {
      Mendable.initialize({
        anon_key: "YOUR_ANON_KEY",
        type: 'searchBar',
        elementId: 'mendable-component'
      });
    };

    if (document.readyState === "complete" || document.readyState === "interactive") {
      setTimeout(() => {
        initializeMendable();
      }, 1);
    } else {
      document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
        initializeMendable();
      });
    }
    const Mendable = window.Mendable;
  }, []);

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <header className="App-header">
        <div id="mendable-component"></div>
        ...
      </header>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

This setup ensures that the Mendable component is correctly initialized and ready to use within your React 17 application.
