AI can be wrong. Do not enter personal, confidential, legal, tax or financial details. Questions are processed by OpenAI; demo history expires after 24 hours without a chat update. An anonymous cookie retains your shared allowance for up to one year. Clearing browser data can change identity; network limits also apply. This is a demo, not professional advice.
Your business. Your brand. Your AI assistant.
These are demonstration templates. Choose your own branding with our self-install software, or enquire about a custom-designed assistant through our fully managed service.
ESSENTIAL AI V1.0
One chatbot. Your way to get started.
Explore self-install software, standard embedding help or a fully managed service. Essential AI V1.0 is the available software product; branding and management are services.
Choose software you install yourself, help embedding an existing setup, a custom build or ongoing management. All prices below are AUD and include GST. Third-party usage and infrastructure costs are separate.
Essential AI self-install
A$100 one-time
One-time software licence for one website/project. Includes the chatbot frontend, secure backend source and setup documentation. You deploy and configure your own infrastructure and provider accounts.
A$100 software licence plus A$50 standard embedding assistance. The secure backend must already work. Compatibility and access are reviewed before payment; backend deployment and bespoke branding are outside standard embed scope.
Starter A$299: one assistant and session context. Business A$699: up to two assistants, browser history, a small knowledge base and basic lead capture. Premium A$1,299: up to three assistants, database history, administration, reporting and one standard API integration. Limits are agreed in your quote.
From A$100/month under an agreed management scope. Setup, branding, integrations, provider costs and usage affect the quotation. Enquiry only: no automatic payment or subscription, and no unlimited-usage promise.
Essential AI is a one-time A$100 software licence. Hosting, OpenAI usage and other infrastructure or provider charges are separate. Complimentary installation, ongoing support and upgrades are not included. Managed AI is a separately agreed service from A$100/month; actual scope and charges are confirmed before commitment.
Can it connect to my CRM, bookings or other tools?
Integrations need an agreed development scope. Standard embedding places the frontend on a compatible website; it does not build a CRM or booking workflow. Custom Premium includes one standard external API integration within the agreed scope. The demos have no connected calendar, CRM or external workflow.
Will the chatbot make things up?
AI responses can be inaccurate. Provide clear business information, agree the tasks and limits, and test expected questions before launch. No package guarantees accuracy, conversions or business outcomes. Visitors should have a way to contact your business for confirmation.
How is privacy and conversation data handled?
The live demo processes questions through OpenAI. Demo history expires after 24 hours without a chat update; an anonymous allowance cookie can remain for up to one year. Do not enter personal or confidential information. A purchased or custom deployment has its own hosting, provider, history and retention configuration; agree data handling before launch.
Can a conversation hand over to a person?
Do not assume a live-agent transfer or notification is included. Tell us whether you need a contact link, lead capture, routing or a connected support tool so we can review and quote the workflow. No enquiry, booking or professional service is actioned in the demonstration.
Will it work on WordPress, Shopify or Wix?
Essential AI includes WordPress, Shopify, Wix and React/HTML installation guides. Compatibility depends on your plan, theme, permissions and security settings. Deploy the secure backend and configure provider accounts first. The optional A$50 standard embed service requires a working backend and a compatibility review.
