Introducing IQ Bot - The Intelligence Behind Orynticlabs

The difference between IQ Bot and a conventional chatbot is the difference between a vending machine and a trained employee.

A vending machine accepts a specific input and returns a pre-programmed output. It does not think. It does not adapt. It cannot handle anything outside its script. Ask it something unexpected and it breaks.

A trained employee understands context. They read between the lines. They know when a question means something different from what was literally asked. They can handle situations they have never encountered before because they understand the underlying principles, not just a list of rules.

IQ Bot is built to behave like the second one.

The Three Layers of IQ Bot

Most people think of AI systems as a single thing - you input something, the AI outputs something. But IQ Bot is built in three distinct layers, each one doing something different, all three working together.

Layer 1 - Understanding

Before IQ Bot can do anything useful, it has to understand what is actually being asked.

This sounds obvious. It is not as simple as it sounds.

Most chatbots match keywords. You type "refund" and it shows you the refund policy. You type "money back" and it does not know what you mean because it was not programmed with that phrase. You type "I want to cancel" and it shows you the cancellation policy even though you actually wanted to know about pausing your subscription.

IQ Bot uses a language understanding layer that reads intent, not just words. It understands that "I want my money back," "can I get a refund," and "this isn't working for me, what are my options" are all expressing the same underlying need - and routes them to the same resolution path.

It also understands context across a conversation. If you tell IQ Bot your order number in message three, it does not forget it by message seven. It carries that context through the entire interaction, the way a human would.

And it understands nuance. "Can I return this?" and "Do I have to return this?" are different questions that require different answers. IQ Bot knows the difference.

Layer 2 - Reasoning

Understanding what someone asked is the first step. Deciding what to do about it is the second.

This is where most AI systems fall apart. They understand the question but cannot reason through the answer - so they default to a generic response or escalate to a human.

IQ Bot has a reasoning layer that works through multi-step decisions the way a senior employee would.

For example: a customer contacts IQ Bot saying their order arrived damaged. A simple chatbot looks up the returns policy and copies it into the chat. IQ Bot reasons through the situation:

• What is the order history of this customer?
• How long have they been a customer?
• What is the value of the damaged item?
• What is the company's policy on damaged goods?
• What resolution options are available?
• Which resolution option best balances customer satisfaction and business cost?
• Does this situation fall within IQ Bot's authority to resolve, or does it need a human?

IQ Bot works through all of these in real time and arrives at a specific, contextualised response - not a generic policy paste.

For a long-term customer with a high-value damaged order, IQ Bot might offer an immediate replacement with no return required. For a first-time customer with a low-value item, it might follow the standard returns process. The reasoning is different. The response is different. The outcome is right in both cases.

This is not pre-programmed branching logic. It is genuine reasoning applied to the specific situation in front of it.

Layer 3 - Action

Understanding and reasoning are only valuable if they lead to something happening.

The third layer of IQ Bot is action - the ability to actually do things, not just say things.

IQ Bot integrates with your existing systems. It can read from and write to your CRM, your order management system, your support ticketing system, your calendar, your inventory database, your billing platform. When it resolves a customer issue, it does not just tell the customer the resolution - it executes it.

This means:

• When IQ Bot processes a refund, the refund is initiated. Not queued for a human to action. Initiated.
• When IQ Bot books a meeting, the calendar invite is sent. Not added to a list for someone to follow up on. Sent.
• When IQ Bot updates a customer record, the CRM is updated. Not noted somewhere. Updated.
• When IQ Bot escalates an issue to a human, the ticket is created with the full conversation context already included. The human opens the ticket and knows everything - they do not start from scratch.

The action layer is what makes IQ Bot genuinely useful rather than just interesting. It does not create more work for your team. It completes work on behalf of your team.

What IQ Bot Can Do - In Practice

Here are specific capabilities of IQ Bot across different deployment contexts.

Customer Support

This is the most common deployment and the one where the value is most immediately obvious.

IQ Bot handles:

• Product and service questions - using your documentation, knowledge base, and product information as its source material
• Order management - status checks, modifications, cancellations, tracking updates
• Returns and refunds - policy explanation, eligibility assessment, and where within policy, actual processing
• Account management - password resets, plan changes, billing queries, subscription management
• Complaint handling - acknowledgement, investigation, resolution or escalation with full context
• Proactive outreach - following up on abandoned carts, flagging expiring subscriptions, checking in after a purchase

The result: a support operation that handles the majority of customer interactions without human involvement, faster than a human could handle them, at any time of day or night, in any language you configure it to speak.

And the interactions that do require human involvement arrive at your team with full context already documented - so your team spends their time on genuinely complex situations, not on typing "let me check on that for you."

Lead Qualification and Sales Support

IQ Bot engages incoming leads at the moment of highest intent - when they first reach out, when they are on your website, when they fill in a form.

It:

• Asks the questions your sales team would ask - qualification questions tailored to your ideal client profile
• Gathers the information your team needs - budget, timeline, specific requirements, decision-making structure
• Scores the lead against your criteria - routing high-intent, high-fit leads to your sales team immediately and lower-intent leads into a nurture sequence
• Answers common pre-sales questions - so prospects get information immediately instead of waiting for a follow-up
• Books meetings directly into your sales team's calendar - so a qualified conversation can happen at the moment of peak interest rather than three days later when the prospect has moved on

For businesses where speed of response to inbound leads is a competitive factor - and it almost always is - IQ Bot eliminates the gap between interest and engagement.

Internal Knowledge and Operations

IQ Bot is not only for customer-facing deployment. Some of our most impactful implementations are internal.

When deployed internally, IQ Bot becomes the intelligence layer for your team:

• A new employee can ask IQ Bot about company policy, process, or product and get an accurate answer pulled from your internal documentation - without interrupting a senior colleague
• A sales team member can ask "what did we propose to this client in 2024?" and IQ Bot surfaces the relevant documents and extracts the key points
• An operations team can ask "what are our current SLA commitments to this client?" and IQ Bot reads the contract and gives the answer in seconds
• A founder can ask "what are the top three issues our support team handled this week?" and IQ Bot analyses the support data and produces a summary

The knowledge that lives in your documents, your systems, and your history becomes accessible in real time - to anyone on your team, in the form of a natural conversation.

Automated Workflows

IQ Bot can be the trigger and the executor of complex multi-step workflows - processes that currently require human coordination across multiple tools.

Examples:

When a new lead comes in from your website form, IQ Bot qualifies them, creates a CRM record, assigns them to the right sales person, sends them an introductory email, books a discovery call if they are high-intent, and adds them to the right nurture sequence if they are not - all within seconds of the form submission, with no human involved.

When a support ticket is marked as resolved, IQ Bot sends a satisfaction survey, logs the resolution in the CRM, updates the knowledge base if the issue revealed a gap, and flags the ticket for quality review if it took longer than the SLA allows - automatically.

When a monthly report is due, IQ Bot pulls data from your analytics, your CRM, your support system, and your financial tools, compiles it into a structured summary, identifies anomalies and trends, and delivers it to the relevant stakeholders - without someone spending half a day on a spreadsheet.

These are not edge cases. They are the kinds of processes that exist in every business and currently sit in someone's job description, consuming hours of time that could be spent on work that genuinely requires human judgment.

How IQ Bot Is Built - The Technical Foundation

We want to be honest about how IQ Bot works because we think the technical transparency matters. You should know what you are deploying.

The Language Model Layer

IQ Bot is built on top of large language models - primarily Claude and GPT-4, selected based on the specific deployment requirements. These models provide the language understanding and generation capability that makes natural conversation possible.

But we do not deploy these models out of the box and call it done. The base model is the foundation. Everything built on top of it is custom.

The Knowledge Layer

Every IQ Bot deployment is grounded in your specific knowledge - your documentation, your products, your policies, your history. We build a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system that connects the language model to your specific information.

This means IQ Bot does not make things up. When it answers a question about your return policy, it is pulling the answer from your actual return policy document, not generating a plausible-sounding response from general training data. When it describes a product feature, it is reading from your product documentation.

This grounding is what makes IQ Bot trustworthy enough to deploy in customer-facing contexts. An AI that occasionally generates confident but wrong answers is dangerous in a customer interaction. An AI that pulls verified answers from verified sources is dependable.

The Memory Layer

IQ Bot maintains context across a conversation and, where appropriate, across multiple conversations with the same user.

Within a conversation: IQ Bot remembers everything said from the first message to the last. It does not ask for the same information twice. It tracks the thread of the conversation the way a human would.

Across conversations: With appropriate data handling and consent, IQ Bot can maintain a profile of a returning user - their history, their preferences, their past issues, their account status. A returning customer does not have to re-explain their situation every time.

The Integration Layer

IQ Bot connects to your existing systems through APIs and webhooks. The specific integrations depend on your tech stack - we have built integrations with CRM platforms, e-commerce systems, support ticketing tools, calendar systems, billing platforms, inventory management systems, and custom internal databases.

The integration layer is what allows IQ Bot to take action rather than just provide information. Without it, IQ Bot is a very good answering system. With it, IQ Bot is an operational system that completes real work.

The Evaluation Layer

Every IQ Bot deployment includes monitoring and evaluation - because an AI system that is not monitored is an AI system you cannot trust.

We build:

• Conversation logging with searchable history - so you can review what IQ Bot said and when
• Quality scoring - automatic flagging of conversations where IQ Bot's response quality fell below threshold
• Escalation tracking - monitoring of which types of issues IQ Bot cannot handle, so we can improve its knowledge over time
• Performance dashboards - resolution rate, response time, customer satisfaction scores, escalation rate, cost per conversation

This is not optional. It is part of every deployment. You should always know how your AI system is performing - and you should always have the ability to review, correct, and improve it.

How We Build IQ Bot for You - The Process

IQ Bot is not a product you buy off the shelf and configure in an afternoon. It is a system we build for your specific business. Here is what that process looks like.

Phase 1 - Discovery and Mapping

We spend time understanding your operation before we write a single line of code.

• What are the most common interactions your team handles? We want the actual data - support ticket categories, sales call recordings, FAQ lists, email threads.
• What systems do you currently use? CRM, support platform, e-commerce system, calendar - everything IQ Bot might need to connect to.
• What is the current cost of handling these interactions manually? Time, headcount, error rate.
• What does a successful IQ Bot deployment look like for your business in 90 days? In 12 months?
• What are the hard boundaries - the things IQ Bot should never do, always escalate, never say?

This phase typically takes one to two weeks. The output is a detailed specification document that describes exactly what IQ Bot will do, what it will not do, what it will say in specific situations, and how it will connect to your systems.

Phase 2 - Knowledge Base Build

We build the knowledge foundation that IQ Bot will draw from.

This means:

• Collecting and organising your existing documentation - policies, product information, FAQs, process guides
• Identifying gaps in the documentation - things IQ Bot will need to know that are not currently written down anywhere
• Structuring the knowledge in a way that IQ Bot can retrieve accurately and efficiently
• Creating response guidelines - the tone, the style, the boundaries of what IQ Bot says and how it says it

This phase typically takes two to three weeks. The quality of this phase directly determines the quality of IQ Bot's responses. Garbage in, garbage out - or in this case, incomplete knowledge in, incomplete answers out.

Phase 3 - System Build and Integration

We build the actual system - the conversation flow, the reasoning rules, the integrations with your existing platforms, the escalation pathways, the monitoring infrastructure.

This is the engineering phase. Depending on the complexity of the integrations and the sophistication of the reasoning required, it typically takes three to six weeks.

At the end of this phase, you have a working IQ Bot running in a test environment - connected to your systems, loaded with your knowledge, and ready for evaluation.

Phase 4 - Testing and Refinement

We test IQ Bot extensively before it touches a real customer.

This includes:

• Scripted testing - running through every documented scenario and verifying the response
• Adversarial testing - deliberately trying to confuse, mislead, or break IQ Bot
• Edge case testing - unusual situations, ambiguous questions, multi-step problems
• Integration testing - verifying that every action IQ Bot takes in the test environment actually executes correctly in the connected systems
• Stakeholder review - walking your team through IQ Bot's responses to real historical conversations, getting feedback, making adjustments

Testing typically takes two to three weeks. We do not rush this phase. An AI system that fails publicly is much harder to recover from than a launch that is delayed by two weeks.

Phase 5 - Staged Launch

We do not flip a switch and send IQ Bot to 100% of your traffic on day one.

We launch in stages:

• Week 1: IQ Bot handles 10% of interactions, with humans reviewing every conversation in real time
• Week 2-3: IQ Bot handles 30% of interactions, with humans reviewing flagged conversations
• Week 4: IQ Bot handles 60% of interactions, with spot-check review
• Month 2: Full deployment with ongoing monitoring

This staged approach means that if something is wrong, we catch it when it affects a small number of people - not after it has run unsupervised for a month.

Phase 6 - Optimisation and Evolution

IQ Bot does not stay static after launch. It gets better.

Every week, we review:

• Conversations where IQ Bot's response quality was below threshold
• New question types that IQ Bot encountered for the first time
• Escalation patterns - what kinds of issues are consistently going to humans that should not be
• User satisfaction data - are people leaving conversations feeling helped?

We use this data to update the knowledge base, refine the reasoning guidelines, and extend IQ Bot's capabilities over time.

A well-maintained IQ Bot gets meaningfully better every month. By month six, it is handling situations it could not handle at launch. By month twelve, it is a significantly more capable system than it was at deployment.

Who IQ Bot Is Built For

IQ Bot is not right for every business. We want to be honest about that.

IQ Bot delivers the most value for businesses that:

Have volume. If you are handling fewer than 50 customer interactions per day, a full IQ Bot deployment is probably more than you need right now. The ROI calculus changes significantly at higher volumes.

Have documented knowledge. IQ Bot is only as good as the knowledge it is built on. If your policies, processes, and product information live entirely in people's heads rather than in documents, we can still build IQ Bot - but we will need to do the documentation work first.

Have existing systems. IQ Bot's action layer requires systems to integrate with. If you are at the stage where you are still running everything from a spreadsheet and a Gmail inbox, IQ Bot's integration capabilities will not have much to work with.

Are ready to commit to the process. Building IQ Bot properly takes two to three months. It requires time from your team in the discovery and testing phases. It requires patience during staged launch. Businesses that want something running in two weeks will be disappointed - and more importantly, they will get a system that is not ready.

Understand that AI requires ongoing investment. IQ Bot is not a one-time build. It needs monitoring, updating, and refinement. The businesses that get the most from IQ Bot are the ones that treat it as a living system, not a finished product.

The Honest Conversation About Cost

IQ Bot is a custom-built system. It is not priced like a SaaS subscription.

The cost of an IQ Bot deployment depends on:

• The complexity of the use case - simple support FAQ handling costs less than a multi-system sales and operations agent
• The number and complexity of integrations - connecting to one CRM is simpler than connecting to a CRM, an order management system, a billing platform, and a custom internal database
• The volume and complexity of the knowledge base - a business with 50 clean policy documents starts from a better position than one with 500 inconsistent documents across ten different drives
• The level of ongoing support required after launch

We do not publish a fixed price for IQ Bot because a fixed price for a custom system is not honest. What we do is scope the work properly, tell you exactly what that scope costs, and explain clearly what you get for that investment.

What we can say is that for businesses handling significant interaction volume, the ROI on IQ Bot is typically measurable and substantial within the first three months - in time saved, in response quality consistency, in after-hours coverage, and in the ability to scale operations without scaling headcount proportionally.

Why We Built IQ Bot

We built IQ Bot because we kept seeing the same problem.

Businesses were spending enormous amounts of human time on interactions that were important but not complicated. Answering the same questions thousands of times. Processing the same requests through the same steps. Routing the same information through the same channels.

This is not what talented people should spend their time doing. It is not what businesses should be paying human salaries to accomplish.

And yet the alternative - the off-the-shelf chatbots available in the market - were so limited in their capability that deploying them often created more problems than they solved. Customers got frustrated. Escalation rates were high. The chatbot became something everyone hated rather than something that actually helped.

We believed there was a version of this that worked properly. A system that could handle real interactions with real quality. A system that could take actions, not just give answers. A system that got better over time rather than staying static.

IQ Bot is that system.

We built it for Orynticlabs clients first. And now we are building it for the businesses that want something genuinely better than what the market has been offering.

In Summary

IQ Bot is a custom intelligence system - not a chatbot, not a FAQ widget, not a GPT wrapper.

It understands intent, not just keywords. It reasons through complex situations, not just matches scripts. It takes action in your real systems, not just provides information. It monitors and improves itself over time, not just runs statically until someone notices it is wrong.

It is built in three layers - understanding, reasoning, and action - on a technical foundation of language models, custom knowledge bases, system integrations, and evaluation infrastructure.

It is deployed through a staged process designed to catch problems early and build confidence before full rollout.

And it is maintained as a living system that gets better every month - because an AI system that does not evolve is an AI system that falls behind.

If your business is handling volume that deserves better than what generic tools can offer - we would like to show you what IQ Bot can do for you specifically.
