Hello SitePal Fans!
We are delighted to let you know that SitePal is now pre-integrated with Chatbase, one of the leading tools for creating AI chatbots for business.
While this blog post is similar to one we posted several months ago regarding ChatGPT integration, the information here and in the referenced docs is updated and includes new relevant details. Also – this is a different AI Bot solution, with what we believe to be greater potential for businesses to take advantage of.
So what does this mean for you, and how can you take advantage of it?
With Chatbase you can easily create an AI Bot which knows all about your business and products, and then use a SitePal avatar as an Intelligent Agent to communicate with your website visitors. Your visitors could then learn about your products and services by conversing with your SitePal avatar!
And, you can do all that without complex programming! Creating your AI bot with Chatbase and teaching it all about your products, takes only moments (assuming you already have a website and/or documentation). Integrating it with SitePal requires copying your API key from your Chatbase account to your SitePal account. Yes, It’s that easy.
The following technical example allows you to select a Bot to interact with. Select ‘Chatbase’ from the menu & try it out by asking questions. Note: This Inteligent Agent was set up by scanning the SitePal Site and Blog, so it knows quite a bit about SitePal. Ask it!

At the risk of being slightly technical, let us explain what you actually need to do to create an Intelligent Agent implementation, using Chatbase, for your website.
In broad strokes the effort would consist of 2 parts:
1. Open an account with Chatbase and teach your bot all about your products & business by pointing it to your website(s) and/or uploading documents.

2. Setup a SitePal character on your website to answer users’ questions by connecting to your Chatbase bot.
The first part is done by using the simple tools provided by Chatbase. It’s totally straightforward.
The second part is where our Pre-Integration comes into play. To publish your SitePal character as a speaking Chatbase-driven Intelligent Agent, you need to add your Chatbase API key & Bot ID to your SitePal account. Then use our sayAI API call (yes, ONE call !) to have your character speak the responses to user questions.
We did the heavy lifting – so you don’t have to!
Please see detailed step-by-step instructions in the following technical note – and start taking advantage of intelligent agent technology today!

Additional 3rd party AI vendors will be integrated with SitePal soon. If you have a specific one in mind, drop us a note and let us know. We will do our best to prioritize.
Warm Regards,
The SitePal Team
