Example: at 9:41 PM a visitor asks Sarah, the website chat assistant for Acme Heating & Air, about a furnace that bangs on start-up. Sarah books a repair visit for Thursday at 9:00 AM before the chat ends. The business’s booking workflow then texts Dana a confirmation, a reminder the day before, and a thank-you with a review link after the visit, all from the business’s number.

Sarah handles the front desk. You handle the work.

Your front desk has three jobs: answer whoever reaches out, pick up the phone, and follow up until the customer books. Sarah, your AI front desk, does all three in your company’s name.

  1. Visitors leave when nobody answers, and you can’t watch the website at 9 PM, mid-job or before you open. Sarah answers chats and texts from what’s on your site, books the people who are ready, and texts new form leads back. You open up to handled conversations, not a pile of messages.

  2. When you’re on a ladder or it’s past six, calls still get answered in your company’s name. Sarah finds out what the caller needs, texts them your booking link with their OK, and emails you a summary and the transcript after every call.

  3. Pick the steps and the order: a text from your business number, an email, an AI call from Sarah, with waits in between. Nothing sends until you publish it and switch outbound on, it can stop when the customer replies, and every message is logged on the contact.

What is Small Business Chatbot?

  1. Small Business Chatbot is an AI front desk for small businesses: it answers website chats, phone calls and texts when the team can’t, day and night.

What customers say about Small Business Chatbot

See how our AI helped this business add $180k in sales

Working with Arthur and the team has been fantastic. Having the chatbot on our website means customers can engage with us around the clock, and we were genuinely surprised by how much opportunity was coming in after hours. Highly recommend for anyone considering it. And something worth noting - the chatbot can be trained on all of your company's specifics. Well worth the investment.

Small Business Chatbot has been by far the easiest website chat to set up, implement, and manage. There are no high-pressure sales tactics, just quick and honest communication to get you where you need to be. Most importantly, it performs well and adds another tool online to convert traffic into sales.

Frequently Asked Questions

Comparing options first? Read our guide to the best chatbots for small businesses, or see how Sarah compares with My AI Front Desk.

How much does Small Business Chatbot cost?

Self Serve is $99 per month, or $79 per month billed annually, for the whole AI front desk run by you: website chat, phone, texting, CRM and workflows. Managed is $249 per month, or $200 per month billed annually, set up and run for you with a dedicated account manager. Custom builds are quoted per build.

Can Sarah book appointments?

Yes. In the website chat, Sarah books, reschedules and cancels appointments straight into your connected calendar. On the phone she does not book during the call: with the caller’s OK, she texts them your booking link while they are still on the line.

What texts can customers get after they book?

Whatever your workflows say. A booking can start a confirmation text, a reminder the day before the visit and a thank-you with your review link afterwards, all from your business number. Workflows start as drafts and send nothing until you publish them and switch outbound texting on, and a workflow can stop when the customer replies.

Is voice chat supported?

Yes. You can get a local phone number and an AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7, texts callers your booking link and emails you a summary after every call.

Are there integrations for Small Business Chatbot?

Yes. Sarah connects to your calendar, and the integrations page lists the CRM and productivity tools she works with.

Do you offer a done-for-you service?

Yes, and that is what we recommend for most businesses. We can set up your chat widget, voice agent, integrations, and any other workflows you need.

Is there a free trial for Small Business Chatbot?

Yes. Self Serve starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card required, so you can install Sarah, train her on your website, and test real conversations. Subscribing at $99 per month ends the trial that day and unlocks the phone receptionist, texting, CRM, and workflows. Managed and Custom plans start with a demo call, and every plan includes one-on-one support to make sure you get the most out of the platform.

I use a live chat solution for my business. Why should I switch over?

With Small Business Chatbot, your business always has an agent ready to respond instantly, even when your team is busy or offline. That means faster replies, better customer support, and more chances to turn website traffic into customers. Sarah answers every message herself, so nobody on your team has to watch the website, and you get a summary by email when each chat ends. See the full LiveChat comparison.

How does the AI chat work?

The platform uses large language models to understand questions and respond naturally based on the information you provide about your business. That is Sarah, the AI chatbot for your website, and the same assistant answers your phone and texts.

How does the AI know how to talk about my business?

Small Business Chatbot is trained on the information you give it about your business. When you sign up and add your domain, it can crawl your website to gather core business details. From there, you can customize its responses further with prompts and instructions.

Can I customize the chat widget?

Yes, you absolutely can! You can change things like the color of the widget to your branding, the profile picture, and the name of the digital assistant.

Do you offer white labelling and white glove support?

Yes to both. Every plan includes white glove support: our team implements and customizes everything one-on-one with you. For marketing agencies, we also offer full white labelling, so the chat, voice, and texting agents carry your branding and your clients see you as the AI pro. Learn more on our Agency Platform page.
