Words the assistant already knows.

Customers do not need exact wording. These are the words and phrases it understands out of the box, before a shop adds any of its own. A shop that offers more languages gets the same in every one: customers write in their own language and the replies come back in it.

Type what a customer might say and see which of these it would match.
