{"faqs":[{"answer":"The AI SDR is trained on your program details — including certification pathways, booth hours, and tuition — so it answers prospect questions accurately and only books qualified tours. Complex technical questions are routed to your admissions team with full conversation context.","question":"How does Worqd's AI SDR handle trade school specific questions like ASME Section IX vs AWS D1.1 certification differences?"},{"answer":"Yes. The AI SDR uses your exact enrollment criteria — prerequisites, start dates, financial aid eligibility — to qualify leads before booking.
