Chatbase
A useful web version is a serious multi-day build, not magic: crawl or upload sources, retrieve tenant-scoped passages, stream cited answers, run one guarded business action, and hand uncertain requests to a person. Rebuilding Chatbase itself is a different project. Its paid surface combines source management and retraining, procedures and custom UI actions, a polished widget, helpdesk, identity, analytics, voice, email, social and CRM channels, plus the reliability and security work that keeps an agent safe in front of customers.
