FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers for buyers evaluating whether this is the right starting point.

Can an assistant use our internal documents?

Yes, when documents are prepared and access boundaries are designed carefully. Banyan focuses on private, practical assistants for staff workflows.

Can assistants be reviewed by staff?

Yes. Banyan designs assistants for staff support and review, not unsupervised decision-making.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on scope. After a short discovery, Banyan provides a clear estimate — typically structured by project phase or as an ongoing support plan — so there are no surprises.

How does Banyan handle security and our data?

Banyan favors security-aware, accessible, well-documented builds, keeps data access scoped to what a workflow actually needs, and keeps staff review in place for sensitive or high-impact steps.

How does a typical engagement start?

Most work starts with a short consultation, then a focused discovery or systems audit before anything is built — so scope, cost, and risk are clear before you commit to a larger project.

How long does a project take?

Smaller automations and integrations often land in a few weeks. Larger custom tools take longer, so Banyan scopes the work in phases that deliver something useful early instead of one long build.
