AI Chatbot for Your Website: Benefits, Limits, Rules
What an AI chatbot or voice assistant on your website can do, how to stop it making things up, and what GDPR, the EU AI Act and cost limits require.
An AI assistant on your website answers the questions you otherwise field every day by phone or email – at any hour, in text or as a talking avatar. It only knows what you give it, always identifies itself as AI and stays within clear cost limits.
We train the assistant on your website, FAQs, price lists or documents – not on half the internet.
As a chat window, a voice assistant or a video avatar with a face – whatever suits your business.
If the assistant doesn’t know something, it says so and refers people to you instead of making things up.
Limits per conversation and per day keep the costs with the AI providers predictable.
The assistant always identifies itself as AI. A clear notice appears before any voice conversation, and we choose providers and settings that keep data to a minimum.
German, English and other languages – the assistant replies in whatever language it’s asked in.
It calls itself an AI and sticks to what it knows. Our own assistant is always one click away via the “Questions?” button.
Behind a modern AI chatbot sits a large language model, the same kind that powers ChatGPT or Gemini. On its own, though, such a model would be unsuitable for your website: it doesn’t know your opening hours and, when in doubt, will invent an answer. So we give the model your own content as its knowledge base and define what it may and may not talk about. If someone asks something outside that scope, the assistant refers them to you.
The most important step is therefore not the technology but the knowledge. Which questions actually reach you? Which answers are binding, and what should a human handle instead – individual medical, legal or pricing cases, for instance? We settle these points in the concept phase, and you test the assistant before it goes live.
A talking AI avatar goes one step further: visitors simply ask their question into the microphone and get a spoken answer with subtitles. It feels more personal and suits people who would rather not type. The running costs are higher than for a text chat, though, so we work with fixed limits per conversation, per visitor and per day.
Legally, people should know when they are talking to an AI. The EU AI Act requires this transparency, and we apply it consistently: the assistant calls itself an AI, and a clear notice appears before any voice conversation. Data only goes to the providers needed for the conversation, and only after the visitor has confirmed.

A text chatbot starts at €1,590 (usually up to €3,990), a talking assistant or avatar at €2,390 – no VAT is charged (Austrian small business exemption). Running and maintenance start at €39 a month; the AI provider’s costs are billed as used and capped with a fixed limit. After the first call you get a fixed price for the build and an honest estimate of the running costs.
With language models this can never be ruled out entirely, but the risk can be reduced a great deal. Our assistant answers based on your content, follows clear rules on what it talks about and openly says when it doesn’t know. Before go-live you test it yourself with your typical questions.
A chatbot can be run in line with the GDPR if the providers, contracts and settings are right. We choose providers that don’t use requests for training, limit processing to what’s necessary and give you the details for your privacy policy. That doesn’t replace a legal review of your specific case.
Yes – visitors should be able to tell that they’re talking to an AI, and the EU AI Act requires this too. For us it’s standard anyway: the assistant always identifies itself as AI, and a clear notice appears before any voice conversation.
In principle yes, if your booking or ordering system offers an interface. Whether that’s worth it and how securely it can run is something we work out in the concept. Often the best start is an assistant that answers questions and points people the right way for appointments.
German and English are standard, and many other languages are possible. The assistant replies in the language it’s asked in – handy for businesses with international customers or guests.
