What a chatbot really does (beyond the buzzword)
Every business answers the same questions all day: prices, hours, location, how to book. A website chatbot - we call ours a receptionist, because that is the job - answers those instantly, any hour, then does the part that makes money: it captures the lead. Name, number, what they need - sent straight to you. The 11pm browser becomes a morning follow-up instead of a customer your competitor gets tomorrow.
Scripted receptionist vs true AI - the honest difference
A scripted receptionist is preloaded with your real answers. Visitors tap a question or type one; it matches and responds instantly. Its superpower is reliability: it never guesses, never quotes a wrong price, never goes down - and it costs little to run, which keeps the monthly low. A true AI receptionist (ours runs on Claude, one of the leading AI models) is trained on your documents and holds genuine conversations - it handles questions you never predicted. It costs more monthly because real AI has real running costs. Anyone selling AI at scripted prices is selling one or mislabeling the other.
What it costs in Jamaica
Our Website Receptionist comes both ways: the Smart Receptionist at J$60,000 setup + J$6,500/month (preloaded answers, lead capture, WhatsApp handoff, monthly tune-ups from real visitor questions), or the Claude-powered AI Receptionist at J$95,000 + J$14,500/month including AI usage - and you can start Smart and upgrade anytime for just the setup difference. Both work best on a smart website, and pair naturally with WhatsApp automation. Want to feel it first? Tap the chat bubble on our site - that is the product, on duty.
