You are going on vacation, but AI can work for you.

Build a custom chatbot that automatically reads your website and learns everything about your business to answer customer questions instantly.

Tools:
* Chatling (Free tier, automatically crawls your website)
* Lindy (AI employee that lives on your site, trained via URL)
* Tidio (Robust free plan with AI features)

Time required: 30 minutes to set up, then automatic

Step-by-step instructions

  • Sign up at Chatling.ai or Lindy.ai (or Tidio if you need a full helpdesk).

  • Connect your data:

* Select "Train on Website" and enter your website URL.
* The AI will crawl your pages (Home, Pricing, FAQ, Services).
* Text extraction happens automatically.
  • Refine the knowledge:

* Manually upload any missing PDF/Doc files (like internal policies).
* Add a "Q&A" list for specific questions the AI might miss.
  • Customize appearance:

* Match the chat widget colors to your brand.
* Set a welcoming opening message (e.g., "Hi! I can answer questions about our pricing and services.").
  • Embed on your site:

* Copy the one-line Javascript code.
* Paste it into your website's header or footer (or use a WordPress plugin).
  • Test: Ask it "What are your prices?" and watch the magic.
