Choosing ai agent & chatbot builders
Should I build my own agent or buy a builder?+
Builders get you to a working assistant in days with hosting, retrieval, and analytics included. Build custom when you need unusual tools, strict data control, or costs at very high volume.
How do I stop an agent from making things up?+
Restrict it to your sources, require citations, add fallback answers, test with adversarial questions, and review logs regularly. No builder removes the need for evaluation.
