The problem it solves

Customers ask the same questions over and over, and answering them by email or chat takes time away from running your business. Your website already has the answers, but nobody reads it before reaching out.

Who it fits

Businesses with a content-rich website who want to offer instant, accurate customer support.

How it works

  1. Your website content is pulled and cleaned into readable text
  2. The text is broken into chunks and turned into searchable embeddings
  3. The chunks are stored in a search-ready knowledge base
  4. When a customer asks a question, the chatbot searches that content for the answer
  5. It replies with an accurate, on-brand response, remembering the conversation as it goes
What you get

Customer questions answered instantly from your content

Customers get accurate answers to their questions straight from your website content, any hour of the day, without waiting for someone to reply.

What you get

A chatbot that answers customer questions directly from your own website content.

What you need

An OpenAI account, a Pinecone account, and optionally an Airtable account.

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.
