The Automation Agency
Customer questions, answered · UK

Answer customers at 9pm
without being awake. And never invent an answer.

Most chatbots people have tried are either a rigid decision tree that gives up after two questions, or a generic AI wrapper that confidently makes things up. We build AI chatbots for UK businesses — on your website, WhatsApp or both — trained only on your own information, so they answer from your actual prices, policies and documents. When the bot is not confident, it says so and passes the conversation to a person with the full history attached, rather than guessing.

The problem

Why this keeps happening.

Most chatbots people have tried are either a rigid decision tree that gives up after two questions, or a generic AI wrapper that confidently makes things up. Customers can tell the difference immediately, and a bot that gets your prices or opening hours wrong costs you more trust than having no bot at all. We build ours to only answer from what you have actually told it, and to say 'let me get someone' rather than guess.

What we build

Example workflows

  1. 01

    Website visitor asks about pricing or availability → bot answers from your actual price list, in real time

  2. 02

    Chatbot qualifies a lead — budget, timeline, need — → creates the CRM record and books a call

  3. 03

    Customer asks something the bot cannot confidently answer → handed to a human with the full conversation attached

  4. 04

    Returning customer → bot pulls up their order or booking status from your system

  5. 05

    After-hours enquiry → bot captures the question and details, follows up automatically once you are back online

  6. 06

    Bot flags a complaint or refund request → routes straight to you instead of trying to handle it itself

From £750
Proof it works
Marmadbir

Marmadbir's dispatchers used to spend their day chasing field workers over WhatsApp and phone calls, one at a time. We automated the conversation — broadcasting jobs, handling replies, confirming payment — and got that manual back-and-forth down to zero, which is exactly what a well-built chatbot does for your customer conversations.

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

Website chatbot or WhatsApp chatbot — which is better for us?+

It depends where your customers already are. A website chatbot catches people mid-browse and is quickest to set up; a WhatsApp chatbot works better for repeat customers and bookings, since they can message you again days later without hunting for your site. Plenty of clients end up running both, fed by the same source of truth.

What happens when the bot cannot answer something?+

It says so rather than guessing, and hands the conversation to a human — you, or whoever you choose — with the full chat history attached so nobody has to repeat themselves. Where that handover lands (email, Slack, WhatsApp) is up to you.

How much does an AI chatbot cost?+

A chatbot trained on your information and answering straightforward questions starts at £750, fixed price. Add booking, CRM lookups or multiple channels and we will quote after a short call — always fixed, never hourly, so you know the number before we start.

Can the chatbot make things up?+

Not the way we build it. We restrict it to answering from your actual documents, pricing and policies, so if the answer is not in there it says it does not know rather than inventing one. That is the difference between a chatbot people trust and one that gets screenshotted.

Does it replace our customer service team?+

No — it takes the repetitive questions off their plate so the team spends their time on the ones that actually need a person. Most clients treat it as extra capacity rather than a replacement.
