Send this to your assistant

Create a ClickRuntime automation: when my website chat sends a question to this link, answer it from my CV in Pinecone and send the answer back to the chat. Every evening, email me a summary of the day's conversations.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

First time? Adding ClickRuntime to your assistant takes about two minutes.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

Recruiters and clients visiting a portfolio site often have one quick question, such as whether you have worked with a certain tool or in a certain industry. If the answer is buried in a PDF, many leave instead of asking.

Freelancers, consultants and job seekers use it to answer visitors' questions accurately from their own CV, and to learn each day who was interested and what they wanted to know.

What you get out of it

  • Questions answered on the spot

    Visitors get an answer straight away instead of searching a PDF.

  • Accurate to your CV

    Answers come only from what your CV says, so nothing is overstated.

  • Know who was interested

    The evening email shows what visitors asked, which hints at what roles or projects are in play.

  • One summary, not a stream

    You get one email a day rather than a notification for every message.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. When a visitor asks a question, your chat widget sends it to your automation's link.

  2. Your CV in Pinecone is searched for the most relevant parts.

  3. AI answers using only those parts, and the answer is sent back to the chat.

  4. Each question and answer is kept until evening, when you get one email summarising the day's conversations.

Before it runs live

  • Connect Google through your own Google app (a one-time, 10-minute setup), so it works with your own Gmail
  • Connect Pinecone
  • Paste your automation's link into the other app's webhook settings

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. Your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.
  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

Changes you can ask for

  • Act only on the items that match your own rules, and skip the rest
  • Change what the AI looks for, or how it writes the result
  • Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
  • Combine it with other Gmail and Pinecone steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

FAQ

Common questions

Which chat tools work?
Any chat widget that can send a visitor's message to a web link and accept a reply at a link of its own.
What if someone asks something not in my CV?
The answer says the CV does not cover it and suggests getting in touch, rather than guessing.
Are conversations kept?
Only until the evening summary is sent, then they are cleared.
What permissions does it need?
Pinecone read; gmail.send. Nothing else in your accounts is used.
Does it need AI?
Yes. It uses ClickRuntime's built-in AI, so you don't need an OpenAI or Anthropic key. Every plan includes a monthly AI allowance.
How many runs does it use?
One run for each event the app sends.
Can I change how it works?
Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
