Deployment Platforms
Every chatbot we configure gets deployed on the platform your website runs on. The integration method depends on your tech stack and requirements.
Deploy via a lightweight widget embed in your theme, a dedicated WordPress plugin for dashboard control, or custom PHP code integration for advanced placement and conditional display logic.
Embed the chatbot widget directly into your Shopify store via theme code or app embed blocks. Positioned on product pages, cart, or site-wide — styled to match your storefront design.
Integrate via custom code within your Laravel application. Blade template injection, middleware hooks, and API-level integration for deep embedding within authenticated areas and application flows.
Embed the chatbot widget via Webflow custom code injection in site settings or page-level embed blocks. No developer access required — configured and styled within the Webflow designer workflow.
For any website not on a specific platform — deploy via a JavaScript snippet pasted before the closing body tag, or integrate through the chatbot API for fully custom UI and behavior control.
What We Configure
Every chatbot is configured for a specific job on DocsBot or Botpress, then deployed on the platform your website runs on. These are the most common use cases.
DocsBot trained on your documentation, FAQs, and help articles. Answers product questions, troubleshoots common issues, and guides users through processes. Escalation rules route unresolved queries to your helpdesk with full context.
Botpress configured with multi-step conversational flows that qualify inbound leads based on company size, budget range, timeline, and use case. Scoring logic matched to your ICP criteria — qualified leads routed to your CRM with meeting links.
Chatbot that asks about customer needs, recommends products based on responses, and links to purchase pages. Decision-tree logic matched to your product catalog for contextual guidance across your storefront.
Chatbot that guides new customers or employees through setup steps, answers questions at each stage, and provides contextual help. Deployed on internal portals, Laravel apps, or customer-facing WordPress sites.
Real Deployments
Every chatbot we deliver is configured for a specific job on a specific platform. Here are real-world setups and the results they produced.
DocsBot configured on 200+ help articles and deployed as a WordPress widget. Handles tier-1 support queries across billing, account setup, and feature questions. Escalation rules route complex issues to Zendesk with full conversation context.
Botpress integrated via custom code into a Laravel web application. Multi-step conversational flows qualify leads based on company size, budget, and timeline. Scoring logic matched to ICP criteria — qualified leads pushed directly to Salesforce.
DocsBot trained on product catalog and sizing guides, embedded as a widget on a Shopify storefront. Answers product questions, recommends alternatives, and links to purchase pages. Reduces pre-sale support emails by handling common queries in real time.
How It Works
Every integration follows the same structured process. You provide the knowledge and platform access — we handle platform selection, configuration, training, and deployment.
1
Define the chatbot purpose, assess content sources, select DocsBot or Botpress, and identify the deployment platform. You receive a scope document before any configuration starts.
2
Set up the platform, upload documentation, structure knowledge, configure personality and tone, and test across 50+ conversation scenarios. Your team reviews and provides feedback.
3
Deploy the chatbot on your specific platform — WordPress widget or plugin, Shopify embed, Laravel custom code, Webflow embed, or JavaScript snippet. Connected to CRM and helpdesk, tested across devices.
4
Go live with monitoring. Full documentation and team training delivered. Two rounds of post-launch optimization — we analyze conversation data and refine responses based on real usage.
What Is Included
Platform configuration, content training, deployment on your website platform, and post-launch optimization. Platform subscription fees are separate and paid directly to DocsBot or Botpress.
Complete account setup, personality and tone configuration, fallback behavior rules, and conversation boundaries. Every setting optimized for your specific use case before deployment begins.
Your documentation, FAQs, and knowledge base structured, chunked, and uploaded into the platform for optimal AI retrieval. We handle the content engineering — you provide the raw knowledge.
Chatbot deployed on your specific website platform — WordPress widget or plugin, Shopify embed, Laravel custom code, Webflow embed, or JavaScript snippet for custom sites. Styled to match your design and tested across devices.
Two rounds of optimization after launch. We analyze conversation data, identify content gaps, refine responses, and tune escalation rules based on real usage patterns.
What We Need
We handle the rest — platform setup, configuration, training, deployment, and post-launch optimization. Total time commitment from your team: 3-5 hours across the entire project.
Your existing documentation, FAQs, website content, product information, and help articles. The more structured the source material, the more accurate the chatbot responses. We handle all content engineering within the platform.
Access to your website platform for deployment — WordPress admin, Shopify theme editor, Laravel codebase, Webflow designer, or your hosting environment. We also need a DocsBot or Botpress subscription — we help you select the right plan.
1-2 review sessions during setup and feedback during testing. We schedule around your availability and keep reviews focused and efficient. Total involvement: 3-5 hours from your team across the project.
In Practice
Custom chatbots work when they solve a specific business problem. Here are three that did.
The problem: A property management company with 4,200 units received 800+ maintenance requests per month through phone calls and emails. Response triage took an average of 4 hours. Emergency requests — burst pipes, lockouts, gas leaks — sat in the same queue as routine requests like light bulb replacements.
What we built: Custom chatbot trained on maintenance procedures, emergency protocols, and property-specific data. The bot triaged requests by urgency, collected photos, confirmed unit details, and routed emergencies directly to on-call maintenance within 90 seconds. Routine requests were scheduled automatically.
The outcome: Emergency response time dropped from 4 hours to 3 minutes. Routine requests were auto-scheduled without human involvement in 72% of cases. The support team went from 6 full-time staff to 3, handling only complex escalations.
The problem: A project management SaaS had a 30-day trial with a 12% conversion rate. User research showed that most churned users never completed the initial setup — they got stuck configuring workflows and abandoned the product before seeing value.
What we built: In-app chatbot that guided new users through setup step by step. The bot asked about their team size, industry, and workflow preferences, then configured templates automatically. It answered product questions using the knowledge base and escalated to human support only when it detected frustration signals.
The outcome: Trial-to-paid conversion increased from 12% to 19%. Setup completion rate went from 34% to 78%. Support tickets from trial users dropped 55%. The bot handled 83% of trial-period questions without human involvement.
The problem: A multi-specialty clinic spent 22 minutes per patient on pre-visit intake — collecting symptoms, insurance information, medical history, and medication lists. Front desk staff were overwhelmed, and patients waited 15-20 minutes before their appointment even started.
What we built: HIPAA-compliant chatbot that patients accessed 24 hours before their appointment via text message link. The bot collected symptoms using guided decision trees, pulled insurance details from photos of cards via OCR, and pre-populated the EHR with structured data. Sensitive data was encrypted in transit and at rest.
The outcome: In-office intake time dropped from 22 minutes to 4 minutes. Patient wait times decreased by 15 minutes on average. Front desk staff redirected 3 hours per day from data entry to patient care. 91% of patients completed pre-visit intake before arriving.
Describe your use case and the platform your website runs on — we will recommend DocsBot or Botpress, configure it for your needs, train it on your data, and deploy it. Most chatbots go live within 2-3 weeks.
