Ask LASI, and LASI with Claude

LASI has two AI features. Most people only ever need the first.

Open Help at the bottom of the sidebar. At the top is the Ask LASI assistant; under it, a search box (Search help…) and the help articles, grouped by topic. You only see articles about screens your role can open. Click a question to open its answer; while you search, matching answers open by themselves.

trylasi.com/help

Replay the welcome tour shows the first-run tour again.

This guide is the full manual. The Help page is the quick version inside the app.

Type a question into Ask LASI… on the Help page, or tap the sparkle button in the bottom-right corner of any other screen to open Ask LASI without leaving what you are doing. On the phone, tap the sparkle button at the top of Today, or open Menu → Ask LASI. To get started, tap one of the suggested questions; they are picked for your role.

While it looks something up, a line under your question says what it is checking, for example "Checking the bins…". Then the answer appears as it is written. Most answers take a few seconds.

• It looks your numbers up in LASI, from the same reports your own screens show, so its figures match the app. It does not guess: a figure it cannot find is reported as unknown, and a show that has not been finalized is described as waiting to be finalized, not as zero.
• It explains how LASI works, from the same help the Help page shows, filtered to your role, so it will not send you to a screen you cannot open.
• It can make a few inventory changes for you, always behind a card you confirm. See Making a change with Ask LASI. Anything else, such as running or finalizing a show or refunding a buyer, it cannot do: ask it how, and it tells you the page and the button.
• It only talks about LASI and your business.
• The conversation is kept while you move between pages in the same browser tab, and on the phone until you close the app. The circular arrow button (Start over) clears it.

Ask LASI sees exactly what your role sees in the app, and no more. If you ask for something your role does not include, it says so and suggests asking an admin; it never hints at the hidden number.

Things to ask

• "How did last night's show do?"
• "How many are left in the Prada bin?"
• "How much commission did I make this week?" (hosts)
• "Which time of day do my streams sell best?"
• "Which returns need us today?"
• "Which bins need reordering?" (admins and managers)
• "How much profit did we make this month?" (admins)

LASI runs Ask LASI for you: nobody on your team needs a Claude account for it. Your questions and its answers are not stored; LASI keeps only a count of how much the assistant is used.

Tell Ask LASI what happened in plain words, for example "We just got 12 more lavender candles at $4.10 each, restock the bin." It finds the bin and shows you a card with exactly what will happen: the bin, the units, the cost, and how many units the bin will hold afterwards. Nothing changes until you tap Confirm. Tap Cancel and nothing changes at all.

1. 1Ask for the change. Give the numbers yourself: Ask LASI never guesses a quantity or a cost, and asks when one is missing.
2. 2Check the card. If it picked the wrong bin or a number is off, tap Cancel and say what is right.
3. 3Tap Confirm. The card turns green and says what was done, for example "Restocked: 12 units added, the bin now holds 32 units."

• A card is good for 15 minutes. After that, ask again and a fresh one is made.
• A card only works for the person it was made for, and your role is checked again when you tap Confirm.
• Tapping Confirm twice, or on two devices, makes the change once.
• A manager's card never shows a cost they cannot see in LASI; receiving an order uses the cost recorded on it.

LASI can be connected to Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, so you can ask it about your business in plain words and it looks the answers up in LASI itself. It reads the same reports your pages show, worked out by the same code, so its numbers are the page's numbers.

What it can read

• Bins and their cost layers, barcoded items and the catalog, and the reorder forecast.
• Shows, the ones not finalized yet, and a finished show's full report.
• The Finance page's profit and loss, cash flow and money per show, the sales chart, sales summaries and top products, and SKU pricing.
• Streams, and what is live right now.
• Returns, packing, replacement requests, losses, commission, your team, TikTok shops and scheduled listing jobs.

What it can change, only if you allow changes

• Add stock: a new bin with its opening stock, a restock of a bin at a new cost, or a delivery of barcoded items counted into a scan-in batch and finalized. Always through the same steps the app uses, and never twice for one delivery.
• Record stock you have on order, and receive it.
• Change a bin's reorder settings for the forecast.
• Build, edit, publish and share price calculators.
• Pick up and complete scheduled listing jobs (see below).

Open Settings → Integrations → Claude. The Server URL card shows the address Claude connects to: your LASI address followed by /api/mcp, for example https://www.trylasi.com/api/mcp. Press Copy to copy it.

trylasi.com/settings/integrations/claude

1. 1In LASI, open Settings → Integrations → Claude and Copy the Server URL.
2. 2In Claude.ai or Claude Desktop, add a custom connector and paste the URL.
3. 3Claude opens LASI's Connect an agent page. If you are not signed in, press Sign in and continue.
4. 4Check the page: which business it will connect to, Signed in as, and Sends data to, plus what it will be allowed to do.
5. 5To let Claude read but never change anything, tick Read-only access.
6. 6Press Connect. You are sent back to Claude, which can now use LASI.

trylasi.com/mcp/authorize

The connection then shows under Access tokens as a connected app. Claude keeps itself signed in; you do not need to do this again unless you revoke it.

Claude Code and other tools that cannot sign in through a web page use a personal access token instead.

1. 1Open Settings → Integrations → Claude.
2. 2Under Access tokens, type a Name (for example "Claude Code").
3. 3Tick Allow changes if Claude should be able to add stock and build calculators. Leave it unticked for read-only.
4. 4Press Create token.
5. 5Copy the token straight away. It is shown once and never again.
6. 6Run the command shown under it, which looks like claude mcp add --transport http lasi https://www.trylasi.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer lasi_pat_…". For other tools, the page also shows the same settings as a block you can paste.

Every connection is one of two kinds. The token list says which: read only or read + changes.

• A connection acts as the admin who made it. If that person stops being an admin, it stops working at once.
• If your subscription lapses, Claude can still read but its changes are refused, exactly like the app.
• Anything Claude adds is recorded under the admin who connected it.

Once connected, ask in plain words. Some examples:

• "How much profit did we make last week, and how does it compare with the week before?"
• "Which shows have not been finalized yet?"
• "How did Saturday's show do? Break down profit by bin."
• "Which bins will run out in the next two weeks, and what should I reorder?"
• "What are my best-selling products this month?"
• "Which time of day do my streams sell the most per hour?"
• "How much money is still on its way from TikTok, and when does it land?"
• "How many returns are waiting on us, and which ones are closest to the deadline?"
• "Who packed the fastest this week?"
• "We just received 40 queen blankets at $6.20 each. Restock the Queen blankets bin." (needs changes allowed)
• "Build a calculator for the bedding show from these three bins with a $12 target." (needs changes allowed)

The same connection is how a listing automation (a tool that types your show's listings into TikTok Seller Center for you) picks up the jobs you scheduled in LASI. Give it a token with Allow changes, using the settings block shown when you create the token. See Scheduling listings and the team schedule.

Recent agent activity at the bottom of Settings → Integrations → Claude lists every tool Claude used, when, and how long it took. A failed call is shown in red with its error.

Each token and connected app in the Access tokens list shows when it was last used. Press Revoke to cut it off; it stops working on its next request. Revoke any token you no longer use, or one you think someone else has seen.
