AI Chat Assistant for Business Websites | Ridgeline Web Co.
Ridgeline can add an AI chat assistant to a business website for routine questions based on approved business information. The assistant should identify itself as AI, stay within the facts it has been given, and offer a clear route to a person for anything it cannot confirm.
A clearly scoped monthly add-on
The listed add-on is $25 per month for up to 1,000 AI chat responses. Additional usage is measured in 1,000-response increments; the added monthly price should be confirmed in writing before those extra blocks are activated.
The monthly allowance describes AI responses, not a guarantee of leads, sales, or bookings. Outside services or platform fees, if any, should be identified separately in the service agreement.
- $25 per month includes up to 1,000 responses.
- Additional usage is discussed in 1,000-response blocks.
- Confirm any added charge before activation.
Use verified information and a human fallback
The assistant should answer from approved service, business, and policy information. It should not make up pricing, availability, credentials, guarantees, service areas, or customer reviews. If the answer is uncertain, it should say so and direct the visitor to a person.
A visitor can keep chatting without providing personal details. If callback requests are enabled, the page should state what is sent, require unchecked consent, and show success only after the message is accepted for delivery.
- Keep the assistant's business information current.
- Label the assistant as AI.
- Do not claim an inquiry is a booked appointment.
Privacy and responsible setup
Decide what the chat should answer, which questions need a human, and how any voluntary callback request will be handled. Do not ask for a street or project address unless the business has a clear need and explains it.
Before adding chat to a production site, confirm the business details, privacy wording, email destination, and any extra-response pricing. The customer should understand how the chat and contact details are handled.
- Set boundaries before launch.
- Ask only for information needed.
- Approve privacy and pricing terms in advance.
