Why most chatbots disappoint
Old chatbots followed scripts and broke on any question nobody planned for. Many new ones use a language model with no grounding, so they answer confidently and wrongly.
We build chatbots that search your own content first, cite where answers come from, stay within the topics you allow, and pass the conversation to a person when they are unsure. Every one is measured against a set of real questions before launch.
