Questions about this video

What does this video show?

One plain question, "Which pages are under Products?", answered by an AI assistant through a single read-only MCP call, then checked in the TYPO3 backend and on the website of our demo install.

How long did the answer take?

14.6 seconds on our demo install, against 5 steps by hand in the backend. The call only reads, so nothing on the site changed.

What do I need to try it?

AI Foundation, which is free and open source, and an assistant that can connect to a remote MCP server. The guides for each assistant show the setup.
