An AI Chatbot for Your Website
Sunday night, 10:14 pm. Someone is on your website and wants to know whether you have any short-notice appointments. They find no answer, click away and ask your competitor instead. That’s exactly the enquiry a chatbot catches – it answers instantly, collects the contact details, and on Monday morning the lead is sitting in your inbox.
I set up AI chatbots for small businesses. GDPR-compliant, no subscription trap, live in two to four weeks.
What an AI chatbot does on your website
That’s the difference from the chatbots you may know – and hate – from insurance hotlines: the old systems could only give pre-written answers to pre-written questions. A modern AI chatbot understands what someone means, even when they type „are you open on Saturday?“ instead of „opening hours“.
I’ll also tell you what it can’t do: it doesn’t replace advice that needs a human touch. Its job is to catch the same 80 % of enquiries so you have time for the other 20 %.
What small businesses actually use it for
Five use cases from real projects. Most small businesses only need two or three of them — we set those up first and add the rest later.
GDPR and the EU AI Act — clean from day one
This is where a serious chatbot parts ways with a hobby widget. Your customers’ conversations are personal data – I work with providers that host in the EU and sign a data processing agreement, and I adapt your privacy policy accordingly. Legal texts for websites are my day job anyway, so you get it all from one place.
Since August 2026 the transparency obligation applies: visitors have to be able to tell clearly that they are writing to an AI – not only when they ask. Sounds trivial, but it will catch a lot of site owners off guard. With me the disclosure is built in from day one.

How it works: in a free 30-minute intro call we work out which enquiries eat the most of your time. After that you get a fixed-price quote. Two to four weeks later the bot is live – and for the first four weeks I fine-tune it free of charge whenever it gets something wrong.
Why me and not an “AI agency”?
AI agencies have been springing up since 2024. Plenty of them were selling social media packages two years ago. Here's how you tell the difference: ask to see something real. With me, that looks like this:
- I’ve been building websites and apps for over 12 years – seven of my own apps are in the App Store, and my open-source AI project Bricks MCP is used by developers worldwide.
- I build your AI integration myself instead of reselling an off-the-shelf widget with a markup. If something goes wrong, you call me – not a hotline.
- Website, privacy and chatbot come from one place. You don’t need a second contractor who has to get up to speed first.
