Tested out the landing page chatbot and got one “We couldnt find an answer to your question” and another request timeout. Not confident at all using this with any product.

Well, what do you expect from a product that is put together as a AI-related side quest :)

it's a main quest now!!

What's the difference between helphub and https://www.chatbase.co/ ?

I'm not super familiar with chatbase (which looks awesome in its own right). Some things that I haven't seen before: -Semantic search added -Ability to open source docs in the widget -Recommendation sets -Personalized suggested question

Also we're pretty focused on embedded use cases and looks like chatbase is more generically usable (e.g. on discord, via API).

But honestly, I expect these products (including our own) to grow so much over the next few months than this answer could totally change.

Wahhh. Strava example?

After some digging I discovered something. This error happens when occurrence API returns 400 Bad Request error. This led me to identify two scenarios in which it can happen: 1. When a query is sent while another query is being processed, it consistently triggers a 400 bad request error. Subsequent queries also yield the same error code. 2. Although less common, random queries can sometimes result in a Bad Request er…

Great catch - should be fixed now!

How is it different from https://admin.hellotars.com/ai ?

Without knowing that product well, I think the main difference is that HelpHub is not just a ChatBot. It's also a full in-app help center with semantic search etc. The ChatBot integrates with the rest of the features and among other things links you to the sources it used to generate the answers.

How do users who can't find an answer get an answer from support?

When the end user asks a question, is it sent to OpenAI? Or is this an LLM you built yourself?

Right now it's hitting OpenAI, but we want to try out other LLMs in the future.

Thanks. That might be a privacy issue, especially if the requester is from the EU

One thing I always hated about chatbot sites when they were the craze and the the AI help bot sites now is the fact that these sites do no provide a chatbot for their own site. I mean, why isn't there a CommandBar for commandbar.com? I actually see that commandbar.com has an intercom chat widget.

That's a very valid concern.

However, we do love to use our products! Once logged in, you will see that we replaced the Intercom chat widget with HelpHub there. We still offer Intercom chat as a fallback if you need to talk to a human.

HelpHub has a way to add a large CTA for that as a fallback. E.g. our own HelpHub implementation has a _Message Us_ button in the bottom to trigger a chat with a human support agent.
