What if everyone had their own chatbot? Scary thought.

Dang, there's a free one available. (Freemium if you want more functionality)

Embed an AI chatbot on your website to automatically answer 60% of your customer support queries without any human intervention.

Trained on Your Data
Your chatbot learns from your own data to give the best answers to your customers.


Is there a free plan available?
Yes, we offer a free forever plan that allows you to create a chatbot of your own, train it with your data, and embed it on your website. We limit the amount of data you can train your chatbot on and the number of conversations your bot can have each month, but you can upgrade to a paid plan at any time to remove these limits as well as access other premium features

I didn't explore beyond this.
I personally don't chat with chatbots.

2. That is actually what is happening.

The current generation of LLM public chatbots are generalized, but they will soon enough be shaped by your personal data. As our corporate overlords have only your best interests at heart, this will all be good.

will chatbots like copilot become personalized to each individual using them?

Yes, the personalization of chatbots like Copilot is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Recent developments have enabled users, especially those with access to premium features, to create custom chatbots tailored to their individual needs and preferences12. These custom chatbots can be programmed with specific instructions, utilize private datasets, and even make external function calls to third-party services. This allows for a more personalized interaction, as the chatbot can be fine-tuned to cater to the unique requirements of each user.

For instance, users can create a chatbot that generates grocery lists based on their dietary needs or one that transforms text into a specific writing style. The process of creating these custom chatbots has been made user-friendly and does not require coding expertise. Users can simply interact with a builder using natural language prompts to train and configure their custom chatbot12.

Moreover, chatbots like Copilot are designed to offer personalized suggestions based on a user’s search history and preferences, enhancing the overall experience by providing tailored results3. As technology advances, we can expect chatbots to become even more adept at understanding and adapting to individual user contexts and needs.

3. I'm too busy to reply right now.

Have your chatbot talk to my chatbot.

WAIT! I'm still working on one.
Until then, my parrot.

Cheers.

4. Already failing.

When I encounter one, I always tell it I need a human until it either fails or passes me to a real CSR.

You do realize, with a little work they can be weaponized against each other. You have one connect with another, and they’ll often just yammer senselessly and corrupt each other while taking up tons of wasted computer time.
