❓ Common Questions

AI Chatbot Questions Answered

What chatbot platforms do you install and configure?

We work with all major platforms: Tidio, Intercom, Crisp, Tawk.to (free), LiveChat, Drift, HubSpot Chat, Zendesk Chat, Voiceflow, WhatsApp Business API, Facebook Messenger, and custom solutions built on OpenAI GPT-4 or Anthropic Claude. Not sure which to pick? We consult for free and recommend the right tool for your budget and goals.

What is a custom AI chatbot and how is it different from a regular chatbot?

A regular chatbot follows predefined scripts — it responds to specific keywords or button clicks. A custom AI chatbot is powered by a large language model (GPT-4 or Claude) and trained on your company's data — your products, pricing, FAQs, service docs, and tone of voice. It understands natural language in any phrasing and generates accurate, contextual answers. It's like having a senior employee available 24/7 — except it never takes a day off.

Can you build a bilingual English-Polish chatbot?

Yes — and this is one of our signature capabilities. We build chatbots that automatically detect whether the visitor is writing in English or Polish and respond in the same language. The entire knowledge base is maintained in both languages. This is particularly valuable for Polish-American businesses serving both communities in Chicago, Mount Prospect, and surrounding areas.

How quickly can you launch a chatbot?

It depends on complexity. A basic chatbot installation with simple FAQ flows can go live within 24 hours. A configured platform with CRM integration and custom flows takes 3-5 business days. A custom AI agent trained on your company data takes 1-3 weeks depending on the volume of training material you provide.

How much does chatbot installation cost?

Pricing depends on scope and platform. Basic installation (Tawk.to or Tidio + simple FAQ): from $300. Full configuration with conversation flows, CRM integration and lead capture: $500–$1,500. Custom AI chatbot trained on your data: $1,500–$5,000. Bilingual custom AI agent: from $2,000. Monthly maintenance: $150–$500/month. Contact us for a free quote →

Can the chatbot capture leads and push them to my CRM?

Absolutely — lead capture and CRM integration is one of the most common setups we build. The chatbot qualifies visitors, collects name/email/phone and details about their need, scores the lead, and instantly pushes it to HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive or any other CRM. Hot leads can trigger an immediate email or Slack notification to your sales team.

Can the chatbot book appointments automatically?

Yes. We integrate appointment booking directly into the chat flow — the bot asks qualifying questions, checks availability, and books the slot in real time. We connect to Google Calendar, Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, Square Appointments, and most other booking systems. Perfect for lawyers, dentists, contractors, consultants, and service businesses.

Do you maintain and update chatbots after launch?

Yes. We offer monthly maintenance plans that include conversation analysis (finding where visitors drop off or get stuck), flow improvements, new FAQ additions, re-training the AI on updated product/service info, and monthly performance reports. Chatbots that aren't maintained become outdated and lose conversion rate — we keep yours sharp.
