About WebChat.si

WebChat.si is the Web Chat Lab: a free place to try website chat before you add it to your own site.

What’s here

  • A chatbot demo with three fictional businesses, each with its own sample knowledge.
  • Six annotated conversation examples that explain the decision behind every reply.
  • Free tools: a chatbot ROI calculator, a live chat staffing calculator and a greeting generator.
  • Practical guides on choosing between a chatbot and live chat, and on adding chat to a website.

How the lab is built and checked

Sample businesses
Oddwick Home, Tallybird and Kestrel Bike Workshop are fictional. Their knowledge was written for this site, and email addresses and phone numbers use reserved example domains and numbers.
The demo
The demo currently runs as a guided example: every reply was written in advance from the sample knowledge, and your browser picks the closest one. No AI model runs on the page, and the demo says so.
Examples
Every example is labeled. “Illustrative” means it was written to show a pattern. “Tested” would mean it was recorded from the live demo, with the date and setup.
Calculators
Each formula is published below its tool, with a worked example, the assumptions it leaves out and the date it was last reviewed. Prefilled values are illustrative, never benchmarks.
Guides
Platform steps are checked against each platform’s own documentation, and the sources and review date are listed at the end of the guide.

Who makes WebChat.si

WebChat.si is made by the team behind Conecto, which makes customer support software including website chat. Both are operated by CherryWave LLC; the full company details are in the legal notice.

Where Conecto Chat fits what a page describes, the page links to it. That is a commercial interest, which is why the methods above are published, why every page says who made it, and why the guides say when live chat alone, or no chat at all, is the better choice. WebChat.si is not an independent review site, and it doesn’t rank chat vendors.
