Rekhu Assistant now checks and fixes print files in the chat
With Rekhu Assistant 0.12 and rekhu/core, your app's assistant checks the print files your customers attach, shows a proof, fixes them and hands over the print-ready file, and answers questions about printing machines.
Rekhu's knowers now work inside Rekhu Assistant. Install rekhu/core with Seshat and Rekhu Machines next to the assistant, and your app's chat knows print, with no extra code.
A print file, checked in the chat
A customer attaches their flyer and says what it is for: "an A5 flyer, single-sided".
- The check. The assistant has Seshat check the file and shows a card with what it found, a proof of the page with its trim, bleed and safe zone, and a Fix it button. It explains, in the customer's language, what Seshat will repair and what is theirs to choose.
- The fix. The customer says "fix it". Seshat adds the bleed, converts the colours to CMYK and embeds the fonts. The customer sees a new proof and gets the print-ready file as a download.
- What is left. The assistant says honestly what is still the customer's to change in their own design, for example a photo that is too small or text too close to the cut. Seshat repairs files; it never changes your customer's design.
Machines in the chat
"Which of our machines for 5,000 business cards?" or "Is 18,000 sheets an hour right for our SM 74?" Rekhu Machines answers in the chat, with the reasons.
For developers
composer require rekhu/assistant-laravel rekhu/core
php artisan rekhu:core --install=seshat
php artisan rekhu:core --install=machines
Every check and fix is counted per customer in your own usage table, so you can charge your customers for it. All three Laravel packages now also install next to Guzzle 8.
