No one to build it
If you do not have someone to test dozens of conversations, we run the tests and show you the result.
Chatbase alternative

In short
The same kind of agent. Someone else does the work.
Chatbase and aichat do a similar thing: an agent that answers from your documents and website. The difference is who does the work.
With Chatbase, you create an account, upload sources, pick the model and connect channels. It is fast if you have someone technical and time to test.
With aichat, our team writes the agent's role, loads your information, connects the channels, tests long conversations and fixes what goes wrong. You review and approve.
The price steps look alike. On 2026-09-25, Chatbase charged $40, $150 and $500 a month, and aichat costs $49, $150 or $500. At Chatbase, each plan has a number of message credits.

Where aichat fits
Where aichat fits better.
An agent that knows when to stop
We agree what the agent must not promise and when it hands the chat to a colleague. The thread moves to a person and stays saved.
The channels your customers use
We connect WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and Telegram with your account. Duplicate messages and bursts of short messages get a single reply.
Romanian and Russian
The agent replies in Romanian, Russian and English, in the customer's language.
Said plainly
Who should not switch from Chatbase.
- Teams with developers who want to build everything themselves, through the API.
- Anyone who needs many ready-made integrations, such as Zendesk or Salesforce, right away.
- Anyone who wants to start alone, without a call with a vendor.
Switching
How to move from Chatbase to aichat.
Same sources
The documents and pages you gave Chatbase are also the sources for aichat. You send them and we index them.
The agent's instructions
The instructions you wrote are a good start. We rewrite them into the agent's role and add the limits: what it does not promise and when it hands over.
Past conversations become tests
If you have real conversations from Chatbase, we use them as tests: the same questions, asked to the new agent.
The switch on your site
We replace the Chatbase script with the aichat widget after the tests pass.
