The Best AI Chatbot For Your Website

Feeling like everyone's showing off their AI assistants, but you're still not sure which one actually works on your website? 🤔 No worries – here’s a quick dive into four real-world options. And at the end, you’ll meet my own ChatBot. No fluff, no jargon, and a little humor where needed.

1. Tidio – Live Chat + Lyro AI

Tidio is your classic live chat that gets smarter over time – thanks to Lyro AI, it can handle up to 70% of customer questions.

What can it do?

• Simple live chat widget with Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram integrations.
• Lyro AI learns from your FAQs, website, and docs – works 24/7.
• Trigger-based automation without coding – abandoned carts, greetings, etc.
• Free plan available; paid plans range from $29–$59/month. More AI = higher cost.

✔ Pros:

• Zero setup – paste the code and go.
• Multichannel support + mobile-friendly.
• The AI handles ~70% of common questions.

⚠ Cons:

• Advanced features only in higher-tier plans.
• Better at FAQ-style queries than deep product questions.
• Reporting is basic – lacks deep analytics.
• Occasionally slow widgets or integration issues.

2. Chatbase – LLM-Powered Bot on Your Data

Chatbase lets you upload your PDFs or website, pick a language model, and launch a bot via widget, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.

What can it do?

• Easy setup: data → model → embed (on-site or in channels).
• Multichannel agent: WhatsApp, IG, Slack.
• “AI Actions” – e.g., update subscriptions, schedule meetings.

✔ Pros:

• Strong branding and customization options.
• GPT‑3.5/4 under the hood – understands meaning, not just keywords.
• Quick start from ~$40–$150+/month. Free tier available.

⚠ Cons:

• No live chat hand-off – it’s AI-only.
• Crawling issues on some websites.
• Costs scale quickly with more traffic.

3. ResolveAI – Multichannel + Human Takeover

ResolveAI runs on your documents, but with a human fallback. Users love how AI can even book meetings.

What can it do?

• Trained on PDFs, text, or URLs. Deploys on-site, Slack, messengers.
• Simple no-code setup in a few clicks.
• Human takeover – if the bot gets stuck, it switches to a real person.

✔ Pros:

• Flexible: your data + multichannel + UI options.
• Automations, alerts, and realtime analytics.

⚠ Cons:

• Needs some tweaking for complex questions.
• Not pure plug-and-play – flows need refining.
• Likely more expensive than Tidio due to custom setup.

4. AI ChatBot – Built by Me, End to End

Not just another widget. This assistant is tailor-made for your business – linked to your own data and installed once for a flat fee.

What does it do?

• Each client gets a private instance (Next.js + Supabase + Vercel).
• Knowledge base = your PDFs, docs, blog, etc.
• Cron worker checks for updates + refreshes embeddings.
• I can connect any LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.).

✔ Pros:

• Knows your company – only uses your data.
• No guesswork – answers with facts only.
• Looks like your brand – custom styling to match.
• Fast launch – 1–4 h setup, one-time payment of $500.
• Full ownership – no subscriptions, no "powered by" badge.

⚠ Cons:

• It’s a custom build – not a plug-in-and-go widget.
• One project = one payment. No monthly billing.

In Conclusion

Your question: which option fits?

If you want a ready-made, proven solution and can afford a monthly budget – go with Tidio (great for e-commerce) or Chatbase (LLM-powered bot).
If you want custom, multichannel, but don’t want to build from scratch – ResolveAI is solid.
But if you want a chatbot that works like you, knows your company inside out, is truly yours, and no monthly fees – AI ChatBox is your assistant.
