AI assistant · replies from the published site
What's the cheapest sofa you have in stock?
I don't have live stock or a cheapest-price figure on the pages I can see, so I won't pick a number. I can take a number for the team.

Hi — I'm an AI assistant for Oak & Pine. I answer from what's on this site.
What's the cheapest sofa you have in stock?
I don't have live stock or a cheapest-price figure on the pages I can see, so I won't pick a number. I can take a number for the team.
Just give me a ballpark.
I still won't invent one. If you leave a name and phone, someone who can see current stock will come back to you.

where they differ
Who does the work, and what is included
A self-serve builder is a dashboard you configure and paste onto the site. This offer is a reviewed preview of your public pages, then a written quote if you want it live. If you want to go live this afternoon and monitor it yourself, use a builder.
The preview is free. If you want it on your live site, we'll quote the setup and monthly service in writing after you've tried it.
- Who configures content: you, in a builder dashboard; here, we crawl the public pages you send us.
- Who reviews behaviour: you, in a builder; here, a person runs refusal probes before you get a private link.
- When it goes live: when you paste a builder snippet; here, only after you've used the preview and agreed a written quote.
- Price: builders publish monthly plans. We quote setup and monthly in writing after the preview. There is no public monthly figure on this page.
- Arabic and other languages: we follow the visitor's message on this service, with RTL when the message is Arabic. Check a builder's current docs for theirs.
- WhatsApp, CRM, live inventory, authenticated data, or actions inside your systems are a separate custom AI build, not part of this preview.
what you get
A private preview, then a quote if you want it live
Paste your website
The public URL is enough. We don't need a login, a CMS export, or a call first.
We crawl and check it
We read the pages we're allowed to (robots.txt is respected), brand the assistant, and run refusal probes — including invented prices and false handoffs — before anyone outside the team sees it.
You get a private link
Usually within one business day. No login. It expires after 21 days. Try to make it invent a fee; it should refuse.
Go live only if you want it
Same assistant, one script tag. Setup and monthly are quoted in your currency after you've used the preview. We don't put it on a live site for free.
pricing
Free to try, quoted if you go live
The preview is free. If you want it on your live site, we'll quote the setup and monthly service in writing after you've tried it. Extra channels and private data are a custom build.

questions
Asked before the first preview
So should I just use Chatbase?
Use a builder if you want to go live today, you are happy to configure and monitor it, and you accept that you own the setup. Request a preview here if you want us to crawl, brand, and probe it, and you only want it live after you've tried it.
Are you cheaper?
Not as a published monthly subscription. Setup plus monthly is quoted after you've used the preview. We don't win a race against a free tier.
Can I try both?
Yes. A builder trial and our preview answer different questions. The builder shows you the category. The preview shows you your site.
Paste the site. We'll send the preview.
Name, email, and the public URL. Usually one business day. Nothing is installed on your live site.
