  • 🧠 AI mode (optional): OpenAI answers only from your FAQ, in the visitor's language; the key stays on your server

🚀 Why I built it

Built from my experience creating Monkbot, an AI chatbot that has handled 374+ visitor conversations for an Austrian monastery. This Lite version brings the same idea to any small business site.
