AI chatbot development. Put your knowledge to work.

We build website chatbots around your actual services, policies and customer questions. A good chatbot should help someone find a treatment, understand a service or take the next step without making them hunt through the website.

Find the right fit

A customer support chatbot. With your business behind it.

Custom AI chatbot development is most useful when the assistant has a specific job, approved information and a clear way to reach your team.

01

Answer recurring questions

Use your service pages and approved FAQs to help visitors find the right information without searching through the entire site.

02

Help qualify an inquiry

Ask a few relevant questions and guide the visitor toward an appropriate service or contact route.

03

Connect an existing system

Scope a supported booking, help-desk or CRM integration when the chatbot needs to do more than share a link.

What affects the cost of a custom AI chatbot?

The size and quality of the knowledge source, channels, integrations, expected usage and support needs. Development, model usage and hosting should be clear in the quote, along with who keeps the information current.

Discuss the scope
For businesses across the United States

Projects are delivered remotely, with scope and review times agreed around your team.

A direct answer

What does ai chatbot development include?

Melos builds custom website AI chatbots using a business’s approved service information, FAQs and documents. The assistant can explain services, guide an inquiry and hand over to a person. Reading customer records or creating bookings is a separate integration with explicitly agreed permissions.

Scope, delivery and acceptance

What should you agree before starting?

What affects the cost?

The build depends on the source material, number of channels, interface and integrations. Running costs depend on conversation volume, model usage, hosting and maintenance. A chatbot that shares a booking link needs less integration work than one that checks availability and creates an appointment.

What determines the timeline?

We first resolve conflicting prices, policies and service details in the source material. A preview is then checked against representative customer questions and requests the assistant should decline or hand over. Launch depends on those checks and access to the website or connected systems.

Checks to include in your brief

  • A question about an unpublished price leads to a handoff, not a made-up amount.
  • Service answers link to the relevant current page and use the approved business information.
  • A visitor can reach a person when the answer is missing or the request needs judgment.
  • An interrupted integration does not produce a false booking or success confirmation.

  • Model/API, vector storage and other vendor usage are billed at cost or kept in your account.
  • A chatbot that takes actions is quoted as an integration project.

Prices are in USD and are starting estimates, not a guaranteed quote. Third-party hosting, software, model/API usage, payment processing, directory fees and taxes are not included unless a proposal says so.

The work

A practical scope. A clear purpose.

These are the areas we cover. We agree the deliverables, integrations and responsibilities for your project before work begins.

Your business knowledge

We organize approved website content, FAQs and documents into a knowledge source you can maintain as your business changes.

A chat experience that fits

A responsive interface with readable messages, useful suggested questions and styling that belongs on your website.

Clear next steps

Direct visitors to a relevant page, capture an inquiry or connect them to your team. Booking and CRM integrations are scoped separately.

Testing before launch

We test real customer questions, unclear requests and missing information, with a clear fallback when the bot cannot give a reliable answer.

The approach

Here’s where we start.

01

Collect and check the source information.

02

Build the conversation and website integration.

03

Test answers and agree how updates are managed.

Your questions

Good to know
before we begin.

Can the chatbot use our existing website?+

Yes. We can use your website and other approved material as the starting point. Outdated or conflicting information needs to be resolved before it becomes part of the chatbot knowledge.

Will it make up answers?+

AI can make mistakes. We reduce that risk with approved sources, clear limits, test questions and an escalation path. We do not promise perfect accuracy.

Can it book appointments or update a CRM?+

It can when the relevant system provides a suitable integration and you authorize the action. A bot that links to a booking page is a different scope from one that creates appointments.
