What is the Axial Assistant?
Short answer
The Axial Assistant is an AI assistant built into Axial Shift. It runs on Axial's MCP server, so it answers from your live restaurant data and from your brand's own standards and priorities, not generic advice. It follows each person's role and permissions, and you bring your own AI token.
How it works
- Runs against the same MCP server you can connect to Claude or other LLMs
- Answers in the context of your brand: upload your brand standards and what you care about, and the Assistant reflects them
- Role-managed, so people only see the stores and data their role allows
- Bring your own token
