What it does

Site chatbot grounded in your own content. Cites its sources. Captures intent and pings hot leads to team chat or SMS within seconds.

Every front desk fields the same twenty questions. What are your hours. Do you accept my insurance. How much does the procedure cost. Can I bring someone with me. What should I avoid beforehand. The questions aren't hard. But they arrive on the phone while someone's with a patient, over email at 9pm, through the website contact form on a Sunday. Someone has to answer them, and usually that someone is the most expensive option available: a staff member pulling attention away from a patient or client who is physically in the room.

The FAQ chatbot trains on your actual content: service descriptions, pricing pages, policies, intake forms, FAQs, and any other documents you hand over. It doesn't guess. When someone asks a question it can answer from your material, it answers and cites the source, so the patient or client knows exactly where the information came from and can verify it. When a question falls outside what you've documented, the chatbot says so and routes the person to a human instead of fabricating a response.

After the initial training session, Golden Horizons wires the chatbot into your website as a widget. SMS and email routing are available if your team handles questions through those channels. Hot-lead signals (a visitor asking about pricing, availability, or a specific procedure by name) trigger an immediate team chat or SMS ping to whoever handles new business. The person browsing your site at 11pm gets a response before they've opened a competitor's tab.

The owner side is a plain dashboard: every conversation logged, every unanswered question flagged, and a simple interface to update answers when your policies change. No engineering ticket required to edit a response. Raise your prices in March, update the document, and the chatbot reflects it. The build runs two to three weeks from kickoff to a live widget on your site. Support covers prompt tuning when your service mix shifts, integration upkeep, and answer reviews when the dashboard flags gaps.

Use cases

  • A med-spa stops losing evening inquiries: the chatbot handles pricing questions for injectables and laser treatments after hours, flags contraindication questions as needing a licensed consult, and pings the front desk via SMS when a visitor asks about booking a specific treatment package.
  • A family restaurant with common allergen questions trains the chatbot on its current menu and ingredient list. Diners get accurate answers about gluten, nuts, and dairy before they arrive, cutting mid-service interruptions for the kitchen and floor staff.
  • A residential real estate team uses the chatbot to field showing-availability questions on listing pages. The bot checks the agent's published schedule and routes confirmed showing requests directly to the agent's calendar, capturing leads that used to slip through weekend contact forms.
  • An HVAC company fields service-area and emergency-call questions through the chatbot on nights and weekends. Customers in the coverage zone get a call-back confirmation. Customers outside the area get a clear answer instead of a voicemail that never gets returned.
  • A veterinary clinic answers vaccination schedule, flea-prevention protocol, and boarding policy questions through the chatbot so front desk staff can focus on check-ins and calls that need clinical judgment.
  • An independent insurance broker trains the chatbot on the product lines it carries. Prospective clients asking about coverage types and general eligibility get factual answers drawn from carrier documentation, with a clear handoff to the broker for anything requiring a personalized quote.

Questions FAQ Chatbot clients ask

How do you train the chatbot on our specific policies and content?

You share the documents you already have: your existing FAQ page, service descriptions, pricing PDFs, intake forms, policy documents, whatever you've written down. We run those through a structured ingestion process that breaks them into retrievable chunks and indexes them, so the chatbot can pull the right passage when a question comes in. If you don't have things written down yet, we run a one-hour intake session where we ask you the questions your customers ask most often and build the document together. The chatbot is never trained on generic internet content about your industry, only on what you've explicitly provided. That's what keeps it accurate and on-brand instead of generic.

What stops the chatbot from making something up if it doesn't know the answer?

The architecture is retrieval-first. Before the chatbot generates any response, it checks your indexed content for a matching passage. If it finds one, it answers from that passage and cites the source. If it doesn't find a strong match, it's configured to say so explicitly and route the person to a human (a contact form, a phone number, or a calendar link depending on what makes sense for your operation). It does not speculate, it does not pull from general internet knowledge about your industry, and it does not invent policies you haven't documented. Every answer traces back to a specific document you provided. The dashboard logs every conversation, so you can see exactly what the chatbot said and flag anything that needs a correction.

What happens when a visitor asks something that needs a human, and how does the handoff work?

Two triggers. First, unanswerable questions: anything outside your indexed content gets a clear 'I don't have that information, here's how to reach us' response with your preferred contact method. Second, hot-lead signals: if a visitor's questions indicate purchase intent (asking about availability, specific service pricing, booking timelines) the chatbot completes the answer and simultaneously pings your team via team chat or SMS with a transcript of the conversation. Your team gets context before they pick up the phone. The handoff point is configurable. Some operators want every unanswered question routed to a form, others want a phone number. Some want lead pings for any pricing question, others only for certain services. We set it up around how your team actually works.

How much staff time does this actually save, and how long until we see it?

That depends on your current volume of repetitive inbound questions and how consistently your team is answering them now. For most small service businesses fielding fifteen to thirty FAQ-type contacts per week across phone, email, and chat, the chatbot handles the majority without staff involvement, typically within the first two weeks of go-live once the initial training content is dialed in. The clearer your existing documentation, the faster the chatbot gets accurate. After-hours capture is usually the most immediate win: questions that used to sit unanswered until the next business day get a response within seconds. We won't quote a specific percentage reduction or an exact number of hours saved before we've seen your actual volume, because that kind of upfront precision is a guess dressed up as a promise. The $99 audit maps your current contact patterns first, and the build scope comes out of that picture.
