The bot answers customer questions based on your actual business information (products, services, pricing, hours, and FAQ) so visitors get helpful answers 24\/7 without you being online. On WooCommerce sites, it also answers live inventory questions: what's in stock, prices, and product details.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Why SimpleBusinessBots:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>One flat monthly fee.<\/strong> No OpenAI or Claude account to set up, no API keys to manage, no token bills to track. We handle the AI infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No message caps or \"agent actions\" limits.<\/strong> Other plugins charge a low headline fee then meter every reply, or cap you at a few hundred messages a month. We don't.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Predictable quality.<\/strong> Our prompts are tuned to one specific AI model, so the bot's tone, lead capture, and conversation flow stay consistent. Switching providers (which BYOK plugins force you to think about) isn't your problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Sign up at <a href=\"https:\/\/simplebusinessbots.com\/\">simplebusinessbots.com<\/a>.
