Plans start at $29.99/month with a 14-day free trial. Deploy on any website in under five minutes — no coding required.

## Company Overview

BuiltABot helps SMBs automate customer support, lead qualification, and appointment booking with one AI chat widget that ships with workflow tools competitors gate behind enterprise pricing.

- **RAG over your real content** — answers from your website pages, uploaded documents, and FAQs (not generic AI training data)
- **Native appointment scheduling** — Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Cal.com
- **Lead capture & qualification** — Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM
- **Human-agent escalation** — real-time WebSocket handoff with replay
- **Multi-channel deploy** — WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, custom HTML
- **No-code setup** — five minutes from signup to live widget

## Core Features

### AI chat with RAG
Trains on website content, uploaded documents (PDF, DOCX, Markdown, JSON, XML), and Q&A pairs. Uses GPT-4o-class models with Cohere cross-encoder reranking for higher answer accuracy than vanilla LLM chat.

### Appointment scheduling
Native calendar integration with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Cal.com. Customers book directly in chat. Includes confirmation emails, reminders, and reschedule/cancel flows.

### Lead generation & qualification
In-chat capture forms with custom fields. Qualification rules route leads to CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho) or to BuiltABot's built-in leads dashboard with CSV export.

### Human-agent escalation
AI detects frustration or explicit handoff requests, opens an escalation, and routes the conversation to a live agent via the in-product Live Support queue.

### Analytics & insights
Conversation analytics, lead-capture rates, appointment metrics, and AI Conversation Insights with Q&A evidence (auto-generated themes from real chats).
