Overview

How it works

Visitors often land on your website with one question. If they can't find the answer fast, they leave. Your website chat assistant answers that question in plain language, using only the facts you've approved, and gives the visitor a clear next step.

It says it's an AI if asked and never pretends to be a person. When it doesn't know something, it says so and offers to pass the question to your team. It doesn't guess, and it doesn't quote prices unless you've approved the exact wording.

When a visitor is ready to talk, the assistant collects their contact details and a short description of what they need. That inquiry lands in your dashboard and starts your follow-up, so the conversation keeps going after the chat window closes.

Urgent questions get special handling. If a visitor mentions something you've marked as urgent, the assistant points them to the right number and alerts your team.

What it looks like

A typical walkthrough

For example, here's how website chat works for a landscaping company on a busy spring weekend.

  1. A visitor opens the chat

    On Saturday evening, a homeowner asks whether the company handles weekly mowing in their town. The assistant answers from the approved service list and service area.

  2. They ask about price

    The visitor asks how much weekly mowing costs. The assistant explains that pricing is confirmed after the team learns about the property, or uses the approved price statement if the owner set one.

  3. An unknown question gets an honest answer

    The visitor asks about a plant the company has never discussed. The assistant says it isn't sure and offers to pass the question to the team.

  4. The visitor leaves their details

    The assistant asks for an email or phone number and a sentence about the job. It asks permission before anyone texts them.

  5. The inquiry is saved

    Once the system saves the inquiry, the assistant gives the visitor a reference and says the team will follow up. A confirmation goes out and the owner gets an alert.

  6. An urgent message is routed

    Another visitor types that a sprinkler line burst. The assistant shows the call-now number and alerts the staff member assigned to urgent issues.

Under the hood

How our system does it

  1. Approved facts only

    The assistant's knowledge comes from your business profile: services, hours, service area, and FAQs you've marked as approved. Starter FAQs stay switched off until you approve them, so nothing unreviewed reaches a visitor.

  2. Rules it can't break

    You list phrases and claims the assistant must never say. Every answer, whether written by the AI or by the offline system, is checked against those rules before it's shown.

  3. A strict price policy

    By default, no price is ever stated, even if one slips into an approved FAQ. If you choose, the assistant can use one approved price statement per service, word for word, and nothing else.

  4. Urgent keywords route to a person

    You choose the words that mean urgent. When a visitor uses one, the assistant shows the right number for the time of day and alerts the staff you've chosen, once per conversation. It says the team was alerted only when someone is actually set up to receive the alert.

  5. Leads are captured with a tool call

    When a visitor wants to start, the assistant uses a capture_lead tool. The system saves the inquiry only when there's an email or phone number and a description, and the assistant's confirmation is built from what was actually saved.

  6. Protection against prompt injection

    Visitor messages are treated as untrusted text. They're wrapped and cleaned before the AI sees them, they can't pick tools or change pricing rules, and the business they're talking to is set by the page, not by anything a visitor types.

  7. Offline fallback answers

    If the AI service is unavailable, refuses a request, or hits a daily limit you set, the assistant switches to fixed answers drawn from your approved FAQs. Visitors still get accurate answers and a way to reach you.

  8. Powered by Claude

    When AI is on, Claude, the AI model from Anthropic, phrases the answers in short, plain sentences. It's never used to decide prices, urgent routing, or bookings. Those follow fixed rules.

What it does

What it does

  • Answers visitor questions

    Gives short, plain answers about your services, area, and hours from your approved facts.

  • Admits what it doesn't know

    Says it isn't sure and offers a handoff instead of guessing.

  • Follows your price policy

    Never states a price by default, or uses only your approved price wording.

  • Captures inquiries

    Collects contact details and a short description, then saves the inquiry to your dashboard.

  • Asks before texting

    Records text message consent only when the visitor clearly agrees, and mentions that STOP opts them out.

  • Routes urgent issues

    Shows the right number for urgent problems and alerts your chosen staff.

  • Starts your follow-up

    Each saved inquiry triggers a confirmation and an alert to your team.

What it can do for you

Why it helps

  • Answers outside business hours

    Visitors get accurate answers in the evening and on weekends.

  • Clearer inquiries

    You receive inquiries with contact details and the visitor's own description of the job.

  • Fewer repeat questions

    Common questions get answered on the site instead of in your inbox.

  • Consistent answers

    Every visitor hears the same approved information, in the same calm tone.

What you control

Your rules, your approvals

  • Which FAQs are approved and live
  • Phrases and claims the assistant must never say
  • Your price policy: never quote, or approved statements only
  • Urgent keywords, numbers, and who gets alerted
  • How long chat transcripts are kept
  • A daily limit on AI messages, and turning AI on or off

Who it's for

Is this a good fit?

  • Businesses whose website visitors ask the same handful of questions
  • Owners who want inquiries captured in the evening and on weekends
  • Teams that need urgent requests to reach a person quickly
  • Probably not the right fit if your visitors mostly need custom advice that can't be written down as approved answers

  3. Test in safe mode

    We run test chats together, including tricky questions and attempts to break the rules, and adjust until the answers are right.

  4. Go live

FAQ

Questions owners ask

Will the chat assistant make things up?

No. It answers only from facts you've approved. When something isn't covered, it says it isn't sure and offers to pass the question to your team.

Can it give prices?

By default, it never states a price. If you prefer, it can use an approved price statement for a service, word for word. For Vyybe's own work, scope and price are confirmed in writing after a short conversation.

What happens when a visitor wants to talk to someone?

The assistant collects an email or phone number and a short description, saves the inquiry, and lets them know the team will follow up. You get an alert, and the visitor gets a confirmation.

Can a visitor trick it into saying something it shouldn't?

Visitor messages are treated as untrusted text. They can't choose tools, change price rules, or switch the business the assistant speaks for, and every reply is checked against your rules before it's shown.

What if the AI service goes down?

The assistant switches to fixed answers from your approved FAQs. Visitors still get accurate information and a way to reach you.

Does it text visitors?

Only if a visitor clearly agrees. Every text includes a way to opt out, and replying STOP ends texts right away.
