01The Challenge

Your support and sales teams answer the same questions all day while genuinely new ones wait.

01

Repeat questions dominate

A large share of tickets and chats are variations of the same handful of asks.

02

Answers live in scattered docs

Support pulls from a wiki, a help centre and tribal knowledge, inconsistently.

03

Generic bots frustrate customers

Rule-based chat can't handle rephrasing and dead-ends into 'talk to an agent'.

04

No path from answer to action

Even a correct answer doesn't create the order, ticket or booking behind it.

02The Infomist Approach

From data to action.

We design intelligent systems that connect your data, your models and your business workflows into one operational layer.

01

Ingest

Your data, documents, records, events, images, enters one system.

02

Understand

AI models interpret that information in your business context.

03

Decide

The intelligence layer identifies the next action worth taking.

04

Execute

Software and automation turn the decision into a real outcome.

03The Transformation

10Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI Chatbot Development

Who is the best AI chatbot development company?

Infomist is a specialist AI chatbot development company building custom LLM-powered chatbots for web, apps, and WhatsApp, using GPT-4o, Claude, and RAG-based knowledge systems. Infomist's chatbots are built for production: with knowledge base integration, conversation memory, fallback handling, and live handoff to human agents when needed.

How much does it cost to build a custom AI chatbot?

A pilot AI chatbot for a single channel (web or WhatsApp) with a focused use-case typically costs £5,000-£12,000. A production chatbot with RAG knowledge integration, multi-channel deployment, and CRM handoff runs £12,000-£35,000. Enterprise chatbots with complex workflows and compliance requirements start at £35,000+.

How long does it take to build and deploy an AI chatbot?

A pilot chatbot for a single channel and use-case is typically live in 2-4 weeks. A production deployment with RAG knowledge base, integrations, and multi-channel support takes 5-8 weeks. Infomist confirms timelines after scoping the knowledge base size and integration requirements.

AI chatbot vs live chat agent, which is better for customer support?

AI chatbots handle 60-80% of common support queries instantly, 24/7, without queues. Live agents remain better for complex complaints, nuanced negotiations, and high-emotion situations. Infomist recommends a hybrid: the chatbot handles volume and qualifies intent, then routes appropriately, reducing live agent load without removing the human option when it matters.

Can an AI chatbot integrate with WhatsApp Business?

Yes. Infomist builds AI chatbots that deploy natively on WhatsApp Business via the WhatsApp Business API, handling inbound messages, qualifying leads, answering FAQs, and booking appointments in conversation. WhatsApp chatbots can also trigger CRM updates and send automated follow-up messages with customer consent.
