AI live chat that answers accurately and knows when to hand off

A chat assistant grounded in your own website, policies and FAQs. It answers common questions instantly, books appointments or captures leads, and passes anything tricky to a real person.

How I approach it

The honest version

A chat assistant is only as good as what it knows. Most bad bots are working from a scrape of the homepage. I build a proper knowledge base first (services, pricing rules, service areas, policies) and test the assistant against real customer questions before it goes live.

It will always say it's an AI, never invent a price, and hand off to a person when it isn't sure. Those rules aren't negotiable.

Tools I use

Good questions

AI Live Chat & Assistants FAQs.

Will a chatbot annoy my visitors?

Badly built ones do. A well-scoped assistant that answers accurately and hands off quickly tends to increase enquiries.

Can it book appointments?

Yes, if your booking tool has an integration or API. Common ones like Calendly, Acuity and Google Calendar do.

What happens to conversation data?

It stays in your accounts. We set retention and privacy notices to match your obligations under Canadian privacy law.
