OneDollarChatbot
AI customer support chatbot from $1/month.
Overview
OneDollarChatbot is an AI-powered customer support solution that lets businesses deploy a trained chatbot on their website in under 5 minutes. It automatically learns from your website content, FAQs, and documentation to answer customer questions 24/7.
The Challenge
Small businesses need customer support but can't afford dedicated support staff. Existing chatbot solutions are either too expensive or too complex to set up. We wanted to create a solution that:
- Requires no coding or technical knowledge
- Starts at just $1/month to be accessible to everyone
- Actually works out of the box without extensive training
Technical Stack
- Frontend: Next.js with React
- Backend: Node.js with PostgreSQL
- AI: OpenAI GPT models with RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
- Widget: Lightweight vanilla JS embed script
Key Features
Auto-Training
Simply enter your website URL and the chatbot automatically crawls and learns from your content.
Human Handoff
When the AI can't answer, it seamlessly transfers the conversation to a human agent.
Multi-Channel
Deploy on your website, Telegram, WhatsApp, and more from a single dashboard.
Results
OneDollarChatbot now serves over 500 businesses, deflecting an average of 70% of support tickets automatically. Customers report saving hours per week on repetitive questions.
Lessons Learned
- Price anchoring works: The $1 starting price makes the product memorable
- Onboarding must be instant: Long setup processes kill conversion
- AI needs guardrails: RAG ensures the bot stays on-topic and accurate
