Build AI chatbots with conversation memory, tool usage, and multi-model support. From customer support bots to autonomous agents. Step-by-step guide.

1

Define Your Chatbot's Role

Specify what your chatbot does: 'A customer support bot for a SaaS product that answers billing questions, helps with account issues, can issue refunds under $50, and escalates complex issues to humans.'

2

AI Builds the Chat Interface

Clean chat UI with message bubbles, typing indicators, file sharing, and conversation history. Mobile-responsive design that works embedded on your site or as a standalone page.

3

Configure Knowledge and Tools

Give your bot knowledge: FAQ documents, product docs, pricing pages. Give it tools: 'Can check subscription status', 'Can issue refunds via Stripe API', 'Can create support tickets in Jira.'

4

Choose the AI Model

Pick the right brain for your bot. GPT-5 for natural conversation, Claude for careful reasoning on sensitive tasks, Mistral for cost-effective high-volume support. Switch models based on conversation complexity.

5

Deploy and Embed

Deploy your chatbot and embed it on your website with a single script tag. Monitor conversations, track resolution rates, and improve responses based on real user interactions.

Typical completion time: 5-15 minutes
