Answer a visitor's question, then let them reach you
I build a chat assistant that answers visitors from content you approve, then passes their enquiry to your inbox. The assistant on this site is one, so you can try it now.
- Price

- Runs on
- Cloudflare Workers AI, in a Cloudflare account you control.
- Languages
- Any language a visitor writes in, tested in English and Polish.
During a chat
How the assistant helps a visitor
Answer and show the source
It answers from your knowledge base and links to the page behind the answer, so a visitor can check the details.
Ask what the visitor needs
When a question turns into a project enquiry, it asks a follow-up about the scope instead of guessing.
Pass the enquiry to a person
The visitor opens your contact form prefilled with their own recent messages, edits it and chooses whether to send it. The assistant never sends it for them.
From first access to launch
How I build it
You give me access to the code repository
You give me access to the site's Git repository, such as a GitHub repository. I add the assistant to sites whose code lives in Git.
Agree the questions and boundaries
I review your site with you and decide which questions the assistant may answer and when a person should take over.
Prepare and approve the sources
I organise your content, point out missing or conflicting terms and ask you to approve what enters the knowledge base.
Build the widget and enquiry form
I fit the chat to your site and connect its enquiry route to your contact form and inbox.
Test and launch
I test ordinary questions, missing facts, misleading prompts and service failures. You review the assistant before it goes live.
FAQ
Questions you may have before you hire me
How this assistant is built
Which AI model does this assistant use?
This site's assistant uses Llama 3.1 8B Instruct Fast for replies and BGE-M3 to find relevant passages. Both run through Cloudflare Workers AI.
What can this site's assistant do?
It answers questions and helps visitors prepare an enquiry. For questions about my work it searches this site's published pages and the answers I approved, and it can also explain general web-development concepts. It has no access to my email, my calendar or another visitor's chat, it cannot take action in any system, and it cannot agree to a price or deadline.
How do you protect the chat?
This site's chat checks that a visitor is human before starting a session, limits requests and message size, and rejects answers that expose private instructions or invent unsupported prices and links. These checks reduce risk, but no chatbot can guarantee a correct or safe answer every time.
How do you store chat data safely?
On this site, the conversation and a signed session token stay in the visitor's browser. Starting a new conversation clears them. I do not store conversation text on my server. To write each answer, Cloudflare Workers AI processes the question together with the recent messages and the matching site passages. I log only metadata, such as a hashed session ID, the request time, the cited pages and token usage. Workers Logs keeps those logs for three days. The privacy policy lists the details.
Do you comply with GDPR?
On this site, the assistant does not ask for contact details and I do not store conversation text on my server. I am the data controller, and the privacy policy sets out what the assistant processes and how long logs are kept. I do not certify legal compliance. Anyone can ask to access, correct or delete their data through the contact form. For a client project, I agree what the assistant stores and logs, and what your privacy policy says about it, with you before launch.
Running one on your site
How much does it cost?
Setup costs 2,000-3,000 USD excl. VAT, one-off, and I quote the final number after reviewing your site. Maintenance costs 200-250 USD excl. VAT per month. Cloudflare usage charges go to your own Cloudflare account.
What does monthly maintenance cover?
Regular updates to the approved knowledge base are included in the 200-250 USD monthly price, excl. VAT. A larger change, such as a new integration or a broad content rewrite, gets a separate quote before I start.
Does it work on WordPress?
No. I add the assistant only to sites whose code lives in a Git repository, such as a GitHub repository.
What do you need from me?
Access to the site's Git repository and the questions you want the assistant to answer. During the build you approve the content that goes into the knowledge base, and you review the assistant before it goes live.
Whose account does it run in, and can I switch it off?
It runs on Cloudflare Workers AI, in a Cloudflare account you control. You can switch it off. The operating guide I hand over explains how.
What happens when the free Cloudflare allowance runs out?
The assistant stops replying once the daily free allowance is used. This demo stays on Workers Free, and Cloudflare's Workers AI pricing stops further model calls when the daily allowance runs out. Usage charges sit in your own Cloudflare account, and I do not estimate them before I know your expected traffic. If your traffic needs more, I review a paid Cloudflare plan and its usage charges with you before enabling one.
Could a larger assistant use Jev?
Possibly, for decisions around the conversation. Jev is an early-access model that makes structured decisions, such as where to route a message or which category it belongs to. It does not write chat replies. For a larger workflow, I would test it against your cases before using it. This site's assistant does not use Jev.
Something else on your mind? The chatbot answers questions about my work from this site. Ask in English, Polish or your own language.
