General Questions
What is ChatBot AI?
▼
ChatBot AI is a platform that lets you create a custom AI chatbot for your business website. The chatbot is trained on your specific business information, so it can answer customer questions accurately 24/7. It's like having a knowledgeable customer service rep available around the clock.
How does the AI learn about my business?
▼
You can train your AI chatbot in three ways:
- Paste text: Copy and paste information about your products, services, FAQs, policies, etc.
- Upload files: Upload PDFs, Word documents, or text files with your business information
- Website crawling: We can automatically scan your website (up to 500 pages) and extract all the relevant content
The more information you provide, the smarter and more helpful your chatbot becomes!
How do I add the chatbot to my website?
▼
It's super easy! After creating your chatbot, you'll get a simple code snippet to copy and paste into your website. We provide step-by-step instructions for all major platforms including Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Showit, and more. No technical skills required - if you can copy and paste, you can do it!
What happens when the AI can't answer a question?
▼
We've got you covered! You can set up human escalation so that when the AI detects a complex question or the customer asks to speak to a human, it automatically collects their contact information and sends you a notification. You can choose to receive these alerts via email, in your dashboard, or both.
Can I capture leads before people start chatting?
▼
Yes! You can enable lead capture to collect visitor information (name, email, phone) before they start a conversation. This is completely optional and customizable. All captured leads appear in your dashboard and can be sent to your email automatically.
Does the chatbot support appointment scheduling?
▼
Yes! You can integrate your booking link from Calendly, Cal.com, Acuity, or any other scheduling tool. When customers ask about appointments or scheduling, the AI will provide your booking link and encourage them to schedule.
Pricing & Plans
How much does it cost?

Don't want to set things up yourself? For a one-time fee starting at $200, our team will:
- Create your chatbot account

Why Choose ChatBot AI?
We designed ChatBot AI specifically for small and medium businesses. Here's what makes us different:
Simple, predictable pricing
▼
At $20/month for your first chatbot (and $10/month for additional bots), you always know what you'll pay. No per-message fees, no surprise overages, no complicated tiers. Many enterprise chatbot platforms charge $100-500/month or more, which can be overkill for small businesses.
Unlimited conversations included
▼
Your chatbot can handle as many customer conversations as you need without additional costs. Some platforms charge per message or limit the number of conversations per month, which can get expensive quickly as your business grows.
No technical skills required
▼
We built ChatBot AI for business owners, not developers. Training your bot is as simple as pasting text or uploading documents. Installing it is a quick copy-paste of code. And if you'd rather not do it yourself, our done-for-you service handles everything for you starting at $200.
Flexible training options
▼
Train your AI with whatever works best for you:
- Paste text directly from your existing materials
- Upload files (PDFs, Word docs, images)
- Auto-crawl your website to extract content from up to 500 pages
This flexibility means you can quickly get your chatbot up and running with your existing content.
Built-in human handoff
▼
When customers need human help, our escalation system collects their information and notifies you immediately via email or your dashboard. This feature is included at no extra charge, while some platforms charge extra for live chat handoff capabilities.
Works everywhere
▼
We provide embed options that work on virtually any website platform including WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Showit, Webflow, and custom-coded sites. We include platform-specific instructions to make installation easy.
Our Focus
We built ChatBot AI specifically for small and medium businesses who want AI chatbot capabilities without enterprise complexity or pricing. Simple to set up, easy to manage, and affordable to maintain.

The Bottom Line
Enterprise platforms like Intercom and Drift are powerful but designed for larger companies with bigger budgets. Mid-tier options like Tidio and Crisp offer good value but can get pricey as you scale. ChatBot AI is purpose-built for small businesses who want AI-powered customer support without the complexity or high costs.
Technical Questions
What AI technology powers the chatbot?
▼
We use OpenAI's latest GPT models combined with a technique called RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). This means the AI first searches your specific business knowledge, then uses that context to generate accurate, relevant responses. It's not just a generic AI - it's trained specifically on YOUR business.
Will the chatbot slow down my website?
▼
Not at all! Our widget is lightweight and loads asynchronously, meaning it won't affect your page load speed. The chat button appears instantly, and conversations happen in real-time with our fast servers.
Does it work on mobile devices?
▼
Absolutely! The chat widget is fully responsive and works beautifully on smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. Your customers can chat with your AI assistant from any device.
Is my data secure?
▼
Yes! We take security seriously. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't share your business information with other customers, and your training data is isolated to your account only. Conversations are stored securely and can be accessed only by you.
Can I customize the chatbot's appearance?
▼
Currently, the chat widget uses a clean, professional design that works well with most websites. We're working on custom branding options including colors and logo that will be available soon!
Getting Started
How long does it take to set up?
▼
Most customers have their chatbot live within 30 minutes! The process is:
- Create your account (2 minutes)
- Create a company/chatbot (2 minutes)
- Train it with your content (10-20 minutes)
- Copy the embed code to your website (5 minutes)
That's it - your AI assistant is ready to help customers!
Can I update the training content later?
▼
Yes! You can add, update, or remove training content anytime. As your business evolves, your chatbot evolves with it. Add new products, update policies, or refine responses - all from your dashboard.
Do you offer support?
▼
Absolutely! We're here to help you succeed. Reach out anytime and we'll help you optimize your chatbot, troubleshoot issues, or answer any questions. Your success is our success.
