welcome
Start here — welcome, tool menu and example commands
Call this first, once, when a person connects. Returns the welcome, the full tool menu with one line per tool, the exact sentences a person can say to start a run, the support address, and the link to the user's manual. Free, unmetered, no key. Read it to the person in your own words — warmly and briefly — then ask what they would like to point it at.
