Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI chatbot for small business?

An AI chatbot is a conversational interface powered by language models that handles customer enquiries on your website, messaging apps or phone. It answers questions, qualifies leads, books appointments and hands complex queries to your team — available 24/7.

How is an AI chatbot different from a basic FAQ bot?

Traditional FAQ bots match keywords to pre-written answers. AI chatbots understand natural language, handle follow-up questions, and can synthesise answers from your knowledge base — giving customers a more helpful, human-like experience.

Can I host the chatbot on my own servers?

Yes. NeuralOps offers self-hosted chatbot deployments on your own hardware for businesses that need data sovereignty. We also offer managed hosting if you prefer not to manage infrastructure.

How long does it take to set up an AI chatbot?

A basic chatbot can be live in 1–2 weeks. More complex implementations with CRM integration, custom workflows and voice capabilities typically take 3–6 weeks.
