Use Cases

Digital events shown on physical boards

See how teams use AI agents with Vestaboard to celebrate wins, display metrics, and bring digital conversations into the physical workspace.

Sales Win Announced on the Office Board

A sales rep closes a major deal and messages the team chat. Your AI Agent detects the milestone, formats a congratulatory message with the deal size and client name, and pushes it to the lobby Vestaboard. The split-flap tiles flip to show the announcement. The entire office sees the win within seconds of the deal closing, creating a moment of shared celebration.

Daily Metrics Dashboard on the Wall

Every morning at 9 AM, the agent pulls yesterday's key metrics from the conversation history and sends a summary to the engineering team's Vestaboard. Total deployments, uptime percentage, and active incidents appear on the board. The team walks in and sees their operational health at a glance without opening any dashboard.

Customer Welcome Message in the Lobby

A customer success manager schedules an onsite visit with a VIP client. Your AI Agent pushes a personalized welcome message to the lobby Vestaboard before the client arrives. The split-flap display greets them by name when they walk in. The gesture costs zero effort after the initial message and makes a memorable first impression.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the AI agent display on a Vestaboard?

The agent can send plain text messages or a 6x22 matrix of character codes. Plain text is automatically formatted to fit the display. Character matrices give you pixel-level control over every tile position for custom layouts, colors, and patterns.

Can the agent control multiple Vestaboard displays?

Yes. The agent lists all subscriptions on your account and sends messages to specific boards using their subscription IDs. You can target different boards for different purposes, like one for the lobby and another for the sales floor.

What authentication does the Vestaboard integration need?

You provide an API Key and an API Secret from the Vestaboard developer portal. Both credentials are required for authenticating requests. No OAuth or browser-based authorization is needed.

How long does a message stay on the Vestaboard?

A message stays displayed until the next message is sent. The Vestaboard shows the most recent message at all times. The agent can send updates at any interval to keep content fresh, or leave a single message displayed indefinitely.

Does Tars store Vestaboard messages?

No. Tars sends messages to the Vestaboard API during conversations. The message content exists in the conversation transcript and on the physical display. Tars does not maintain a separate log of messages sent to your boards.

What is a Vestaboard subscription?

A subscription represents a connection between your Vestaboard account and a specific physical display. Each board has its own subscription ID. The agent uses this ID to route messages to the correct display when you have multiple boards.

Can the agent send colored tiles to the Vestaboard?

Yes. Using the character matrix format, the agent can send specific character codes that correspond to colored tiles on the Vestaboard. Codes for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and white tiles are available alongside alphanumeric characters.

How is this different from the Vestaboard mobile app?

The mobile app requires manual message entry through its interface. The Tars integration triggers Vestaboard updates automatically from conversation events across any channel. Messages can be sent programmatically based on sales data, team milestones, or customer interactions without anyone opening the Vestaboard app.
