Chatbot Development

AI Chatbot Development Services

Custom chatbots built on Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT, and Anthropic Claude — for lead capture, customer support, and internal knowledge. The chatbot on this page is one of ours: the same architecture, security, and lead-capture flow ships for your domain.

Proof

The chatbot on this site is one of ours

Open the widget on this page and try it. It runs on Google Gemini behind a Node.js API we wrote and operate ourselves — with origin allow-listing, per-IP rate limiting, content moderation, session timeouts, and a guided lead-capture flow that hands a curated brief to our team. The same chatbot also runs on our Canadian site reformedtech.ca. We are not pitching theory: this is the production system we keep online for ourselves.
When we build a chatbot for you, we start from that working baseline and adapt it to your domain — your knowledge base, your tone, your CRM, the model that fits your workload (Gemini for speed and long context, GPT for structured tool-using flows, Claude for careful reasoning). If a chatbot is one feature of a larger AI product, see AI Integration. If you are launching a brand-new product where chat is core, see MVP Development.
Models

Built on the model that fits the job

We work across the three model families that matter for chatbots in 2026: Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT, and Anthropic Claude. We pick per workload — fast cheap turns vs. long-context reasoning vs. tool-using agents — and we will tell you when a non-LLM fallback (FAQ search, rules) is the right answer for part of the flow.

Google Gemini

Powering our own production chatbot

Gemini 2.5 Flash for fast, low-cost conversational responses; Gemini Pro when reasoning depth matters. Long context windows make Gemini a strong default for knowledge bots that draw on internal documentation.

Good for Lead-qualification, customer-support FAQs, internal knowledge bots, multilingual chat.

OpenAI GPT

Strong general-purpose conversational AI

GPT-4o and the latest GPT family for nuanced conversation, function-calling, and structured outputs. Mature tooling, strong streaming, and predictable behaviour for sales and support flows.

Good for Sales agents, complex tool-using bots, structured-output workflows, voice-style assistants.

Anthropic Claude

For careful reasoning and long-form work

Claude 4 family for chatbots that handle policy-heavy domains, long context, or careful reasoning. Strong at staying within instructions, ideal where tone and safety bounds matter.

Good for HR and policy bots, legal/compliance assistants, long-document Q&A, brand-voice content chat.
Use cases

What we build

Six chatbot patterns we ship today. The first one — lead-qualification — is what is running on this site, so you can see it in action before we quote anything. The rest reuse the same engineering core, adapted to your channel and domain.

Lead-qualification chatbots

Inbound chat that asks the questions a salesperson would ask, decides when there is a real opportunity, and emails your team a curated brief. The bot on this page is the reference implementation — same pattern, your domain.

Customer-support assistants

First-line support over your help-centre articles, product docs, and FAQs. RAG-grounded answers with sources, escalation to a human when confidence is low, and full transcripts for your CS team to review.

Internal knowledge bots

Chatbots that search your internal documentation, runbooks, or policy library and answer in natural language. Built with retrieval-augmented generation on pgvector or Qdrant, scoped to roles where appropriate.

Sales and onboarding agents

Conversational agents that guide a prospect or new customer through a structured flow — capturing requirements, scheduling demos, or completing onboarding tasks — with tool-calls into your CRM or backend.

WhatsApp, web, and Slack bots

Same conversational core, deployed across channels: embeddable web widget, WhatsApp Business, Slack workspace bot, or a Telegram/Messenger surface. Channel adapters around a shared chatbot API.

Domain-specific assistants

Chatbots scoped to a vertical — e-commerce product Q&A, real-estate listing search, healthcare intake (where clinical advice is explicitly out of scope). Brand voice via prompt design and few-shot examples.

Engineering

What ships with the chatbot

Most "AI chatbot dev" gigs end at a working prompt and a model API call. Ours start there. The list below is what we operate on our own production chatbot — security, rate limiting, content moderation, session management, lead capture, observability — and what you inherit on day one of your engagement.

Multi-provider model layer

Swap between Gemini, OpenAI GPT, and Claude without rewriting the bot. We choose per workload and keep the door open if pricing or capabilities shift.

CORS and origin allow-listing

Whitelist-based origin validation so the chatbot API only answers requests from approved domains. No widget-key leak turns into a credit-card story.

Per-IP rate limiting

Configurable request limits per IP and per session, plus a cap on concurrent sessions. Abuse and runaway loops cost a fraction of an unprotected key.

Content moderation

Pattern-based filtering for harmful content, URL injection, and PII leakage in user input. Tunable per use case — strict for public widgets, relaxed inside guided lead-capture flows.

Session and conversation state

Secure session IDs with timeouts, conversation history threaded into each turn, and IP tracking for auditability. No accidental context bleed between users.

Lead capture and CRM hand-off

When a user expresses intent, the bot switches into a guided flow: name, email, optional phone, requested service, short brief. Submits to your contact endpoint or CRM and ends the conversation cleanly.

Structured logging and observability

JSON logs with request IDs, response latency, model, and token usage. Drop them into Datadog, Loki, or CloudWatch — your existing observability stack just works.

Health checks and deploy hygiene

Shallow and deep health endpoints (with provider reachability), Docker-ready, behind your load balancer, HTTPS terminated upstream. Boring, in the way production should be.

Process

How a chatbot engagement runs

Six steps. Discovery starts with a feasibility check — a few questions about your use case, your knowledge base, and what success looks like. We will tell you in that call if a chatbot is not the right tool for the problem (sometimes it is not), and we always recommend evaluation passes before anything goes live to real users.
