custom ai chatbot development — chatgpt, gpt-4 & claude integration.

I'll build you a smart AI chatbot powered by ChatGPT, GPT-4, or Claude. Trained on your own business data — it answers customer questions, captures leads, and handles support around the clock.

Imagine having a team member who never sleeps, never takes a break, and answers customer questions instantly — at any hour. That’s what a custom AI chatbot can do for your business.

I build chatbots powered by the best AI models out there — ChatGPT, GPT-4, Claude, and other LLMs — and train them on your own business data so they actually know what they’re talking about.

A custom AI chatbot is trained on your own content — your pages, documentation and product data — so it answers real customer questions instead of giving canned replies. I build them on the OpenAI and Claude APIs, with lead capture and human handoff included. Chatbot projects start around $900 and typically take 1–4 weeks — the assistant in the corner of this site is one of mine, and its case study shows exactly what you get.

This isn’t one of those generic chat widgets that just sends “Hi, how can I help?” and waits for a human. These chatbots can answer real questions, give specific information about your products, and even capture leads while you sleep.

What I can build:

  • Customer support bots — answer FAQs, troubleshoot issues, reduce support tickets
  • Sales and lead generation bots — qualify visitors and capture contact info
  • Booking and appointment bots — let customers schedule directly through chat
  • Product recommendation bots — help shoppers find what they’re looking for
  • Internal knowledge base bots — your team asks, the bot answers from your docs
  • Multi-language bots — for businesses with global customers
  • WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger bots — meet your customers where they are

How it works:

  1. We talk about what you want the bot to do
  2. I gather your business info — docs, FAQs, product details
  3. I train the bot using that data (RAG, embeddings, or fine-tuning)
  4. I connect it to your website, app, or messaging platform
  5. We test it together until it sounds right
  6. You launch it and start saving time

Tools and platforms I work with:

  • OpenAI (ChatGPT, GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo)
  • Anthropic Claude
  • LangChain and LlamaIndex for advanced workflows
  • Pinecone, Supabase, or ChromaDB for vector storage
  • Custom UI on your website or platforms like Intercom, Tidio, Crisp

What you’ll get:

  • A chatbot that actually knows your business
  • 24/7 customer support without hiring more staff
  • Faster lead response and higher conversion rates
  • Integration with your existing website, CRM, or messaging tools
  • Full control over the bot’s personality, tone, and replies

Good fit if:

  • You’re getting the same customer questions over and over
  • Your support team is overwhelmed
  • You’re losing leads because no one replies fast enough
  • You want to offer 24/7 support without hiring a night shift
  • You have lots of documentation that customers struggle to find

Common questions:

Chatbot projects start around $900, with typical ranges on the pricing page, and every project gets a fixed-price proposal before you commit. The main ongoing cost is AI API usage, which runs under your own API keys — you pay the provider directly at cost, with no markup passing through me. The full build-and-run cost breakdown is here.

Platforms rent you the bot: Intercom meters every AI-resolved conversation at $0.99 and Tidio sells AI conversations in monthly quotas, so the better the bot performs, the more you pay — forever. A custom build is paid for once and then costs only its AI usage, under your own keys, in your own design. That said, if you need a full helpdesk with ticketing and a support-team inbox, a platform genuinely is the better buy — the honest comparison with real 2026 prices is here.

Typically 1–4 weeks, depending mostly on how much of your content and data the chatbot needs to work with. A bot answering questions from an existing website is at the fast end; one that needs product catalogues, account lookups or multiple integrations takes longer.

Whatever it has been trained on — your pages, docs, policies and product data — and it stays current as that content changes. What it can’t do is answer things your content doesn’t cover, and pretending otherwise is how chatbots destroy trust. This guide walks through what to expect honestly, including when not to build one at all.

The bot hands the conversation over instead of looping: it alerts a person, holds the chat, and a human takes over from an inbox. That handoff is the part most chatbots get wrong, and it’s built into everything I ship — you can see it working in the chatbot running on this very site.

OpenAI and Claude models, chosen per project — they have different strengths and different running costs, and the right pick depends on what the bot does and how much it will be used. The build is model-agnostic enough that the underlying model can be swapped as better options appear. How the two compare for chatbots is written up here.

Only the data a task actually needs goes into a prompt, and sensitive fields stay out where they aren’t required. Everything runs under your own accounts and API keys, visitors can ask for their conversation data to be deleted, and I’m happy to sign an NDA before we discuss anything.
