When a simple chatbot is enough

If your questions are few and never change (opening times, where to park, how to book) and they all arrive on your website, an off-the-shelf chatbot widget may do the job. It is cheap to try and easy to remove. If that describes you, you do not need a consultant.

When it is not

The trouble starts when questions arrive in several places, need your actual answers, or should end with something happening: a booking, a callback, a person taking over. A widget on the website does not see the WhatsApp message or the email.

What Dean Keating builds

Not a chatbot product, and not a phone service: it does not answer the phone. His website describes AI agents that answer common questions across email, web and WhatsApp, sort and route messages, send updates, confirmations and reminders, and escalate to a person. He builds them, installs them in the tools the business already uses, trains your team and supports it.

A gym as the example

The directory has seven listings under Gyms & Fitness. Picture a gym front desk at six in the evening, busy with people. Meanwhile somebody messages on WhatsApp asking what time the classes run, someone emails about joining, and a member writes to complain.

The first two are common questions with answers you can write down, so an agent can reply within minutes and offer a time to visit. The complaint should go to a person straight away. Deciding which is which, and handing over cleanly, is the part a simple widget does badly.

Getting started

He begins with one task, not the whole business. The free call comes first, then an audit of what is worth automating, the build and install, and training and support. You leave the call with a plan you can use with or without him. There is no published price list; the cost is given after the call.

Honest limits

He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, the same county as Eastleigh, and sets everything up remotely; his website says he can visit in Hampshire or nearby. He publishes this directory, so compare other builders as well. The guide to AI receptionists and chatbots covers a clinic example. Call Dean or book the free AI call.

Frequently asked questions

Who can build a chatbot for my business in Eastleigh?
Many providers sell chatbot widgets. Dean Keating does not; he builds AI agents that answer common questions across email, web and WhatsApp and hand over to a person, installed in your existing tools. He works remotely from Horndean, Hampshire. The first call is free.
Will it answer the phone?
No. His service is not phone answering. It covers written channels: email, the website and WhatsApp.
Is a basic chatbot enough?
For a few unchanging questions on one website, often yes. When questions come by several routes or need a booking or a person, an installed agent fits better.
