What it does
The five jobs a small business chatbot does
Answers common questions
Prices, hours, services and areas, answered from your website at any hour, so they stop reaching your phone.
Covers the hours you're closed
Evenings, weekends and busy afternoons, when people are looking but nobody can reply.
Captures the lead
A name, a way to reach them and what they need, sent to you by text and email in seconds.
Books the next step
An appointment, consultation, trial or viewing, through your booking page or Google Calendar.
Hands over what needs a person
Urgent, sensitive or unanswered questions go straight to you, with the details already taken.
Is it right for you
Which businesses get the most from a chatbot
You answer the same questions every day
The questions are already answered somewhere on your website; people just don't find them.
People get in touch after hours
Forms and messages arrive in the evening and at weekends, and wait until you're back.
Calls go to voicemail while you work
You're with a customer, on a job or in a session when the next one tries to reach you.
Each new customer is worth a lot
When one client, patient, member or job is worth hundreds or more, a single saved inquiry pays for months.
Don't see your business?
It works for any business with a website. It reads your pages, answers from them, and follows a general set of rules that never guesses.
Questions
Questions about chatbot use cases
What are some examples of chatbots on business websites?
A dental practice's chatbot answering insurance and new-patient questions, a plumber's taking emergency job details at night, a gym's booking free trial classes. Each card above shows real questions for that kind of business.
What are the most common chatbot use cases?
For small businesses: answering common questions, covering after-hours inquiries, capturing leads, booking appointments and passing conversations to a person when needed.
What are the benefits of chatbots for business?
Faster answers for customers at any hour, fewer repeat questions for you, and more inquiries turned into leads you can act on while they're still interested.
Can a chatbot work for a service business, not just an online store?
Yes. That's what this one is built for: businesses whose customers get in touch before they buy, such as trades, clinics, agencies, firms, gyms and schools.
Can a chatbot book appointments?
Yes. It links to the booking page you already use, or connects to Google Calendar and offers real free times.
What if my business isn't listed?
It still works. It reads your website and answers from it with a general set of rules, and it hands anything it can't answer to you.
