Who it’s for

Businesses that answer the same customer questions over and over.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Restaurant: hours, menu, allergens and bookings
  • Real estate: answer listing questions and book viewings
  • Clinic: opening hours, prices and how to book (never medical advice)

Step by step

  1. Write down one problem a specific group of people pays to solve (for example “gym owners losing members”).
  2. Open ChatGPT, Claude or Grok and paste the prompt below to sharpen the idea and list what the first version must do.
  3. Use ChatGPT, Claude or Grok or a support chatbot builder to make the first version of the product for one type of customer.
  4. Create a Stripe account and a Payment Link so people can pay from day one.
  5. Make a one-page website that explains the problem, the fix and the price.
  6. Show it to 10 people from your target group and change what confuses them.
  7. Launch where those people already gather, then ask every new user for feedback.

  • White-label portal
  • Stripe
  1. Collect the incoming channel (inbox, form, tickets) into one workflow.
  2. Have the model classify and extract fields, returning structured JSON.
  3. Route or draft replies; keep a human approval step for anything customer-facing.
  4. Log results and review misclassifications weekly.
