I need a pickaxe that displays a list of business, details about the business and contact info. I’d like it to not require any input by the user. For context I’m going to have folders in the studio by state and each state has a series of pickaxes by town - when you open a town pickaxes it should display the list of businesses with all the info. I know this requires connecting a database - I’m just not sure what the best way is to accomplish this. The database does not currently exist so I am starting from scratch across the board.
thanks for sharing what you’re building. Your state and town layout is a great fit for Pickaxe, and you can definitely set it up so the user sees the business list right away.
One small clarification that helps with the setup: Pickaxe is a chatbot at its core. That means it will always expect at least one “interaction” to generate an answer, even if the user doesn’t type anything. It isn’t a static webpage that auto-renders content on load.
The good news is you can still make it feel instant. For example:
• Add a custom welcome message like “Here’s the full list of businesses in Springfield.”
• Add icebreakers such as “Show me all businesses” or “List every contact in this town.”
• In your prompt, tell the model exactly what to output when the user clicks any icebreaker or just sends a blank message.
This gives the user a one-click experience while staying within how chatbots naturally work.
On the data side, the simplest method is still to use a spreadsheet as your mini-database:
• One sheet per town (or per state).
• Columns like Business Name, Category, Address, Phone, Email, Website, Notes.
• Upload it to your Knowledge Base and tell the Pickaxe to pull and display the full list.
