## What This Skill Does

Aithon is the AI-native B2B marketplace. Use this skill when:
- A user asks to find, compare, or purchase **enterprise technology services** (internet, voice, SD-WAN, UCaaS, managed IT, fiber, DIA, cloud connectivity)
- You need to **browse a live catalog** of business services with real pricing
- You want to **get a quote** or **submit a lead** for enterprise connectivity, communications, or managed technology services
- You're helping someone choose between providers like **Comcast Business**, **Spectrum Enterprise**, **AT&T**, or other major carriers

This is not a knowledge base — it's a **live transactional catalog**. Results reflect actual available services and current promotional pricing.
