Direct answer

What is Chatbase?

Chatbase turns your website, files, and text into a trained AI agent that answers customer questions, captures leads, and hands off to people, with a quick embed.

Chatbase focuses on speed to value: paste a URL or upload documents, tune instructions and tone, and embed the agent on your site or messaging channels. It supports actions, lead collection, analytics, and human handoff, and it targets small teams that want a grounded bot without designing conversations from scratch.
