AskAI vs. generic website chatbots
“Chatbot” covers everything from a button menu to a general AI model in a box. Here is how AskAI differs, and when something simpler may be all you need.
| Typical generic chatbot | AskAI | |
|---|---|---|
| Where answers come from | A script you write, or a general AI model | Your own website and your own written answers |
| Keeping up with your site | You update the script, or re-upload content | Notices new, changed and removed pages by itself; re-learn any page on demand |
| Knows the page the visitor is on | Usually not | Yes — “this one” works |
| Links and navigation | Varies | Real links to your pages; can open a page with the chat still open |
| Layout | Floating bubble | Docks beside your page on wide screens, floats on smaller ones |
| Bots and abuse | Varies | Quiet human check, automatic shield and spending limits built in |
| Owner assistant | Rarely included | Office AI included: replies, copy cards, stale-content hints |

When a scripted bot is enough
If your visitors only ever need two or three fixed paths — “book”, “track”, “call” — a simple scripted bot is cheaper to reason about. AskAI is for websites where people ask varied questions about information that is already published.
Why page awareness matters
Most questions on a website are about the page in front of the visitor: “is this available?”, “does this include installation?”. An assistant that knows the page answers in one step instead of asking “which one?”.
