DokBot

Freemium

DokBot turns your PDFs and documents into an embeddable RAG support chatbot for your website in minutes, using your own API key or built-in credits.

Multi-Format RAG Knowledge Bases: Native ingestion of PDF, DOCX, XLSX, MD and TXT files with automatic processing and chunking — no copy-pasting text.
Bring Your Own API Key: Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio, Groq, OpenRouter, CheaperInference or Ollama Cloud directly without a middleman.
Managed AI Credits: Optionally buy monthly AI credits so DokBot runs the model on its own provider key and bots need no API key.
Human Handoff: When the bot doesn't know an answer it collects the visitor's email and surfaces the full conversation in the Conversations inbox.
Shadow DOM Embeddable Widget: Install with one script tag before </body>, fully isolated so it never breaks your site's CSS.
Live Preview Testing: Iterate on prompts and verify answer accuracy in a live preview before going public.
MCP Access: Pro plan exposes MCP so your own AI assistant can manage bots and knowledge bases.

Website Customer Support: Answer common visitor questions 24/7 from product manuals and help docs.
Documentation Assistant: Let users query long technical PDFs or guides conversationally instead of searching manually.
Lead Capture from Unanswered Questions: Collect emails when the bot can't answer and follow up with full context.
Low-Cost Support Automation: Small businesses run a support bot on free-tier or cheap model providers via BYOK.
Multilingual SMB Support: Spanish-speaking businesses deploy a docs-grounded assistant on their site in minutes.
