## Key features

### AI agents for customer conversations

AI agents answer from assigned knowledge sources. Standard agents are meant for simple information, specialised agents get instructions, resources and AI actions.

### AI actions

A webhook action calls a predefined webhook and processes the response, for example for availability, CRM lookup, shop search or ticket creation. There are also follow-up actions, web search and CSV actions.

### Knowledge Base with RAG

You decide which sources the chatbot may learn from. According to the page nothing is generated without reliable information. Individual content can be switched on or off per agent.

### Live chat and handover

According to the page agents forward complex or sensitive requests to responsible staff. The workflow catalogue mentions handovers in Microsoft Teams.

### Guardrails and compliance check

The optional compliance check blocks non-compliant answers and can slow generation. A competitor list prevents mentions, communication rules control style.

### Templates for processes

The page shows ready-made chatbot workflows such as address change, customer verification, appointment booking and contract information from SQL. It does not describe triggers, steps and error handling.

Source: https://www.moin.ai/ai-workflows

## Example workflows

### Check delivery status

- Your input: A specialised agent with a webhook to the shipping system and an instruction for follow-up questions.
- Possible result: The agent asks for the order number, fetches the status and states it in the chat.
- What to check: Check the action used in the AI Playground and store texts for missing data.

### Prepare an address change

- Your input: A follow-up action that leads to the form after an answer.
- Possible result: With a positive reply the form starts and a webhook transfers the data.
- What to check: Test the instruction, because the action does not trigger without it, and check the transfer in the target system.

## Requirements and limits

### Actions are predefined

Limitation: Each webhook belongs to one use case and is created and published in the hub. The help article recommends several clearly separated actions and calls complex search agents less reliable.

Source: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/ai-actions

### Actions limited per plan

Limitation: The pricing page limits "AI agent actions" to 1, 5 or 10 per plan and process integrations to 1 or 3.

Source: https://www.moin.ai/preise

### MCP only for the Knowledge Base

Limitation: The moinAI MCP server opens the Knowledge Base to external AI tools such as Claude or Cursor. The reviewed pages do not describe connecting third-party MCP servers as agent tools.

Source: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/moinai-mcp-server

### Unsuitable content

Limitation: The help article names sensitive content such as dosages or allergens as well as granular figures as unsuitable for AI agents.

Source: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/agents

### Model providers

Not yet confirmed: The agent page names the GPT series or open-weight models, the technology page OpenAI only for internal processes and tailored models in the product. No reviewed page names concrete providers for operation.

Source: https://www.moin.ai/technologie

### Independent multi-step work

Not yet confirmed: The marketing page speaks of step-by-step processes and direct execution. The help articles show webhooks, forms and follow-ups for this, but no step sequence planned by the agent itself.

## A good fit if …

- you want customer requests on the website or in messengers answered from your own knowledge sources
- individual queries such as delivery status or appointments should run into your systems through webhooks
- you want a guided rollout with handover to a live chat

## Less suitable if …

- you want an agent that plans tasks itself or runs on a schedule without a customer conversation
- you want to check the host, model providers and sub-processors publicly before signing
- you need short terms or a self-service test without a conversation

Editorial assessment based on provider documentation. Not a product test.

Evidence: https://www.moin.ai/preise

### Sign-ins

Documented: The hub supports SSO through OpenID Connect, depending on the licence. Webhooks use API keys, Basic Auth or JWT; the help recommends API key and JWT together with TLS.

Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/single-sign-on
Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/webhooks

### Starting further runs

Open in reviewed sources: Agents answer when customers write. The reviewed pages do not describe schedules or event-driven runs without a conversation; webhooks start from the bot.

Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/ai-actions
Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/webhooks

### Human intervention

Documented with conditions: According to the page complex requests go to staff. Agents can be active separately in preview and live. The pages do not describe approval before an action; follow-ups only ask the customer.

Evidence: https://www.moin.ai/produkt/ai-agent
Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/agents
Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/follow-up-aktionen-f%C3%BCr-ki-agenten-erstellen

### Detecting errors

Documented with conditions: In the AI Playground you check the action used, and webhooks can be tested with test data. On an authentication error the webhook sets an error variable. The article does not describe server errors and timeouts.

Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/webhooks
Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/ai-actions

### Resuming after failures

Documented with conditions: On errors a form leads the person back to re-enter data, and conditions and fallback texts catch missing data. The article does not describe retry logic.

Evidence: https://helpcenter.moin.ai/webhooks

### Editorial assessment

moinAI is well documented for supervised customer conversations but narrow in terms of independent agent work: actions are set up in advance, and runs depend on a conversation. For the host, model providers and sub-processors you need the data processing agreement or a request.

## Memory and conversation continuity

Scope: Context only within a session; no memory feature documented
Sources accessed: 2026-11-05

Contexts are the memory of a conversation and end with the session. Storage across sessions is not provided.

### Storage and scope

Partly documented: Information is held as named variables in the session context, such as user_name. The article does not name the physical storage location.

### Retrieval
