That pricing is... yowch.

> Please try it out...

No, thank you. Not for $100/mo without any sort of trial!

It would be marginally interesting to play with it on my ~8 year blog (https://www.sevarg.net), but I have ~300 posts and ~900k words written.

Dumb question, though... if I put all my content into a single page on a subdomain (easy enough to do, I use Jekyll to render my stuff), would the free plan barf on a 900k word document, or would it happily ingest it?

Also, what does "One chatbot" mean? Only one person can interact with it at a time?

Yes, technically it will index everything if it's just a single page. Some people have already started abusing it like that. I need to put in place some restrictions for that.

Assume you have multiple products. You can't give the content of both these websites to a single chatbot, right? For example, if someone asks chatbot about "What's the pricing", should it give the pricing of first product or second product?

In cases like this, it makes sense to create multiple chatbots (one chatbot for each website) and keep the content separate.

Ah, OK. That makes sense as far as the chatbot count. That's quite unclear to me from the site, and the chatbot isn't any more helpful.

> What is the difference between pricing plans in terms of chatbots? What does that mean, exactly?

> SiteGPT offers different pricing plans based on the number of chatbots and web pages/documents that can be created. The Essential plan allows for the creation of one chatbot and up to 25 web pages/documents, while the Growth plan allows for the creation of two chatbots and up to 100 web pages/documents. The Pro plan is the most popular and allows for the creation of five chatbots and up to 500 web pages/documents. The Elite plan is the best value and allows for the creation of unlimited chatbots and up to 5000 web pages/documents. The pricing plans are designed to accommodate websites of all sizes and needs.

Congratulations, it "read the Powerpoint slide again." I had some college professors who did that. Ask for clarification, they'd read the slide again, as if I'd not understood the slide the first time.

Meh. Good luck.

Yeah, chatbot can only be as good as the content that is in the website. If the chatbot didn't answer it properly, that's because I did not have content on the website to answer this question.
I bet when chatGPT Plugins open up, there's going to be one where you can point to your website or PDF collection to load them up in the index. It's going to be one of the basic operations, these products like siteGPT won't be able to compete in simplicity of use.
