4. AI & Automated Processing

4.1 AI Agents Overview

Mantis includes AI-powered agents that automate business operations on your behalf. These agents perform tasks such as:

  • Answering incoming phone calls and booking appointments (AI Receptionist)
  • Generating and sending customer outreach communications
  • Qualifying sales leads and generating proposals
  • Optimizing service routes and schedules
  • Monitoring inventory levels and suggesting reorders
  • Generating social media content
  • Responding to customer service inquiries
  • Analyzing business performance and providing strategic recommendations
  • Managing invoicing and payment reminders
  • Coordinating workflows across all of the above functions

4.2 What Data AI Agents Access

AI agents access only the data necessary to perform their specific function, limited to your business's data. This may include customer information, job records, financial data, communications history, and business knowledge base items (SOPs, FAQs, policies) that you have configured for AI access.

4.3 AI Processing Providers

AI agent processing is performed using third-party AI model providers:

  • Google (Gemini). Primary AI model provider for agent intelligence and voice AI
  • OpenAI. Secondary AI model provider and image generation

When data is sent to these providers for processing, it is transmitted securely and used solely to generate a response for the specific task. We have agreements with these providers that prohibit them from using your data to train their models.

4.4 Human Oversight

AI agents do not make final decisions on high-impact actions without human approval. Our approval workflow requires manager review for actions that could significantly affect your business operations or customer relationships. You can configure approval thresholds and review all AI agent activity in the platform's activity logs.

4.5 No Model Training

Your data is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI or machine learning model, whether ours or any third party's. AI models process your data only to generate real-time responses for your specific business tasks.

5. Voice & Telephony

5.1 AI Receptionist

Mantis offers an AI-powered receptionist that can answer incoming phone calls on behalf of your business. When active, the AI receptionist will identify itself as an AI assistant at the beginning of each call. The AI receptionist can schedule appointments, answer frequently asked questions, and capture caller information.

5.2 Call Recording & Transcription

Voice calls handled through the platform may be recorded and transcribed. Call recordings and transcripts are stored securely and are accessible only to authorized users within your business account. Callers are informed that calls may be recorded.

5.3 Telephony Provider

Voice and SMS services are provided through Twilio, a third-party communications platform. Call data, including phone numbers, call duration, and recordings, is processed and stored by Twilio in accordance with their privacy policy. AI voice processing is handled by Google's Gemini Live API.

5.4 TCPA Compliance

We comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). AI-generated voice calls constitute artificial or prerecorded voice messages under federal law. We obtain required consent before initiating automated calls or text messages. You may revoke consent at any time through any reasonable means, including replying "STOP" to text messages or requesting removal during a call.

6. SMS & Email Communications

6.1 Business Communications

The Service enables businesses to send SMS messages and emails to their customers for appointment reminders, follow-ups, marketing campaigns, and other business communications. These are sent on behalf of the business, not on behalf of Mantis.

6.2 Service Providers

  • Twilio. SMS message delivery
  • Resend. Transactional and marketing email delivery

6.3 CAN-SPAM Compliance

All marketing emails sent through the Service comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. Recipients can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every marketing email. Unsubscribe requests are honored within 10 business days.

6.4 Opt-Out

End customers may opt out of receiving SMS messages by replying "STOP" at any time. Email recipients may unsubscribe via the link in any email. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional messages related to active services.

6.5 Speed-to-Lead SMS Service

Mantis Corp operates a Speed-to-Lead service that sends automated SMS messages on behalf of service businesses to individuals who have initiated contact by submitting a web inquiry form or scanning a QR code. By submitting a contact form or initiating a web chat, the individual consents to receive automated text messages in response to their inquiry. Consent records are stored with a timestamp and source identifier.

All Speed-to-Lead messages identify themselves as automated at the start of the conversation. Recipients may opt out at any time by replying STOP. Reply HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies based on the nature of the inquiry and the responding business's configuration.

7. Third-Party Service Providers

We share personal information with third-party service providers ("subprocessors") only as necessary to operate the Service. These providers are contractually obligated to use your data only for the purposes we specify and to maintain appropriate security measures.

8. Social Media Integration

The Service allows you to connect social media accounts to publish content on your behalf. When you connect a social media account:

  • We store OAuth tokens necessary to post on your behalf
  • We may access basic account information (page name, profile) to display in the platform
  • AI agents may generate content for your review before publishing
  • Publishing is handled through the Late API, which connects to social platforms

You can disconnect social media accounts at any time from your settings, which revokes our access and deletes stored OAuth tokens.

9. Social Studio Data Handling

This section describes how Mantis Corp handles personal information specifically for the Social Studio service. Social Studio is marketed to pest control operators under the brand The Pest Post at thepestpost.com. The corresponding contractual provisions are in Mantis Corp Terms of Service Section 4.

9.1 Brand Setup Data

When you complete Social Studio brand setup, we collect:

  • Your voice profile (sample sentences and tone preferences you provide)
  • Brand assets (business name, colors, logo, services offered)
  • Geographic focus (primary cities and service area)
  • Pest focus (pests you specialize in)
  • Connected social platform identifiers (page IDs, account names)

This data instructs the AI content pipeline and is stored in your Social Studio dashboard. It is accessible only to your team and to Mantis Corp staff for support and platform-operation purposes.

9.2 Content Generation Data Flow

When we generate posts for you:

  • Caption prompts incorporating your brand setup are sent to Google Gemini for generation
  • Image prompts (derived from your brand setup) are sent to OpenAI image-generation models
  • Generated captions and images are stored in your dashboard for your approval before publication
  • Per Section 4.5 (No Model Training), none of this data is used to train AI models

9.3 Published Content & Engagement Data

For posts you approve and publish:

  • Post content (caption, media, hashtags) and a publishing record are stored in your dashboard
  • Publication is handled via the Late API (see Section 7)
  • Public engagement (comments, likes, shares) is read from connected platforms via their official APIs
  • AI-drafted replies to comments and DMs are stored for your review before sending. Under your settings you may enable auto-publish per platform after the first month, in which case drafted replies publish without per-message approval
  • Engagement metrics are stored for use in your weekly recap email

9.4 Social Platform Tokens

  • OAuth tokens for Meta (Instagram and Facebook business pages) and, when added, Google Business Profile are stored encrypted in our database
  • Tokens are used only to publish posts and read engagement on the accounts you have connected, never on personal profiles
  • You may revoke access at any time from the upstream platform. Doing so will suspend publishing but does not delete content already stored in your dashboard

9.5 TPP Marketing List

  • Individuals who request a free sample via the form at thepestpost.com provide their email address, business name, city/state, and pest focus
  • This information is used to generate a single set of sample posts and to send a small number of follow-up emails (recovery + post-delivery check-in)
  • Recipients may unsubscribe from follow-up emails at any time using the link in any email
  • This marketing list is operated separately from Social Studio customer operational data

9.6 New York Exclusion

Social Studio is unavailable to businesses operating in or primarily serving the State of New York per Mantis Corp Terms of Service Section 4.1, in response to New York Senate Bill 8420. Any personal data inadvertently collected through Social Studio sign-up from a New York-based business will be deleted upon discovery, and the subscription will be cancelled with a prorated refund.

10. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

  • Encryption. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256)
  • Multi-Tenant Isolation. Each business's data is logically isolated using row-level security (RLS) policies enforced at the database level; one business cannot access another's data
  • Authentication. Secure session management with JWT-based authentication
  • Access Controls. Role-based access controls (owner, employee, customer) limit data access to authorized users
  • Infrastructure. Hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with SOC 2 compliance
  • Monitoring. Continuous security monitoring and audit logging

While we take extensive measures to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If we become aware of a security breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and applicable authorities as required by law.
