How to build AI Chatbots & Intelligent Customer Service with AI
A chat window that answers customer questions using the business's own information. The business answers the same questions all day, or misses leads after hours. With an AI vibe coding tool, a first working version typically takes 3–7 days when you plan it first, build one part at a time, and test each step.
What it's made of
- Chat window on the site
