The problem it solves

Generic AI chatbots don't know anything specific about your business, so they either make things up or give unhelpful answers. Keeping a chatbot updated with your latest website content by hand isn't realistic.

Who it fits

Businesses that want a chatbot on their site that actually knows their products, services, and content.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system re-scans your website for new or changed content
  2. The content is broken into chunks and stored in a searchable database
  3. When a visitor asks a question, the chatbot searches that database for relevant content
  4. The AI combines what it found with the visitor's question to write an accurate answer
What you get

Visitors get accurate answers straight from your site

Visitors chatting on your site get answers pulled straight from your latest products, services, and pages.

What you get

A chatbot on your site that answers visitor questions using your own up-to-date content.

What you need

A website content service account, a Pinecone account, and access to Google Gemini.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
