## Questions
### How much does an AI chatbot for a website cost?
Porter starts at £99 a month plus a one-off £650 setup. That covers training the bot on your site, installing it, lead emails, and up to 500 chats a month. Busier sites are £179 a month.

### Is this an AI receptionist for phone calls?
No. Porter works on your website. It answers visitors in the chat window, day and night, and when someone wants to speak to you it takes their name and number and emails you a call back request.

### Will it work on my website?
Yes, if you can add one line of code. It works on WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Next.js, React, Vue, and Python sites such as Django and Flask, plus most custom sites. We can add it for you.

### Is the chat stored?
Yes, so you can read what was said and follow up. Chats are deleted automatically after the retention period you set, usually 90 days. A visitor cannot delete a chat from the window. See the privacy note for the full wording.

### Will it invent prices?
It is told to answer only from the pages and notes we give it. If a price is not written down, it should say it is not sure and offer to take details. You should still read a sample of chats after launch.

### How long does setup take?
About 48 hours once we have the website, the email address for alerts, and a list of pages the bot may use. You approve the answers before it goes live.

### What if it does not know?
It says so, and asks for a name and an email or phone number. You get the lead. It should not guess.
