This is really simple to build yourself. Just use SentenanceTransformers in python, pineconeDB, and whatever screen scrape library you line. Chunk your site content before storing in pineconeDB and then search and whatever you get back use as context for the GPT Chat API.

This comment has the same energy as the infamous Dropbox comment on HN. Do you think no-coders and others in general are really going to build out their own implementation?

That said, companies like Intercom, Zendesk and other customer service companies are already starting to do this.

What’s the infamous Dropbox comment? Sounds hilarious.

> 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

Absolutely glorious. thx

Yes, my target audience are no-coders or anyone who just wants something ready to integrate on their website without handling any infra on their own.

Some of the customers I got are non-technical people. So it was perfect for them.

They get a very good chatbot even if they don't know how to code.

Many people think that simple projects have no market because they are simple, but Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and so on are all simple projects. People do not want to build their own [insert literally anything]. People that value their time will pay for services such as this, and I wish you luck.

Any business/website owner who deals with customer support will like it (assuming it works well).

My guess is the people on here poo pooing this idea are programmers who don't deal with customer support. Don't let their negative response deter you. Let them be fools.

I’m not poo-pooing it. It’s great to see someone take initiative. I’m just saying if you’re wondering how to use GPT to do this, this is how. Build it yourself in a couple hours or buy the service, I don’t care.

Just sharing the details for those that are curious in how to make their own chatbot on their data.

Same can be said about washing dishes, or growing carrots.

This is priced at about 10-20 minutes of a developers time per month.
