The problem

After-hours questions go unanswered and turn into missed leads; your team loses time on repetitive Q&A.

What SGS builds

A chatbot trained on your services, pricing approach, FAQs, and policies — answers customers instantly, captures their info when it can’t, and hands off to a human when unsure. Built around your approval process.

What’s included

  • Assistant trained on your info
  • Lead/handoff capture
  • Website embed
  • Guardrails (no medical/legal/financial advice; price disclaimer)
  • 1 tuning round

Not included

  • Your LLM usage cost (you own the API key, ~a few $/mo) unless on a Managed AI Care Plan
  • Taking payments
  • Booking into a live calendar

How it works & who owns it

SGS builds and configures the assistant around your business — your services, FAQs, pricing ranges, hours, service area, and policies — then hands it off to you.

  • You own the backend. The live assistant runs on your own AI/API account, so your business owns the usage and billing — no open-ended AI bills land on SGS, and nothing is locked to us.
  • Built on your approved info. It answers from your services, pricing approach, hours, service area, and policies — not the open internet.
  • It won’t guess. If it isn’t sure, it’s instructed to hand off to your team instead of making something up.
  • Guardrails built in. No medical/legal/financial advice; estimates are clearly ballparks, not binding quotes.
  • Optional Care Plan. Prefer SGS to host, monitor, and update it (with usage limits)? That’s a separate paid Care Plan — never required.

What you can see & review

You’re never guessing what the assistant did. Every build includes:

  • Lead Tracker / customer capture sheet — every submission saved (name, email, phone, address, service, request type, urgency, notes, date, status, source) to a Google Sheet / Airtable / CSV, with an email to you.
  • Conversation log — a record of chats so you can see what customers asked.
  • Captured leads — name, contact, and a short summary of what they wanted, saved and emailed to you.
  • Unanswered / escalated questions — so you can see what to add to its knowledge.
  • Common-question themes — what people ask most, to guide your site and services.

Reporting by day / week / month — and an export/download option — can be included as a dashboard or handled under a Care Plan, depending on the scope we agree on.

Owner notifications

When the assistant captures a lead or an urgent request, it can email you the customer’s details and a conversation summary. Urgent/emergency inquiries can be flagged, and we configure the notification rules with you. Optional SMS alerts can be scoped separately where appropriate — email notification is the safe default. If a question is sensitive or the assistant is unsure, it hands off to a human.

Included 30/60/90-day tune-up

Every AI Assistant build includes a launch tune-up period. At 30, 60, and 90 days we review chat patterns — common questions, unanswered or confusing replies, escalations, and lead-capture quality — and make up to one knowledge/configuration update at each checkpoint so the assistant gets sharper. It does not include new integrations, major redesign, unlimited content rewrites, or ongoing monitoring after 90 days unless you’re on a Care Plan.

Booking & calendars

Booking can be handled by linking to your existing Calendly or booking page, by collecting a request for your team to follow up, or by connecting to a full booking flow as a separate scoped build. Not every assistant includes live calendar booking unless that’s scoped.

FAQ

Who powers the AI assistant?
The live assistant can run on your own AI/API account, so your business owns the usage and billing. SGS builds and configures it around your business information, then hands it off. Prefer SGS to manage it? That’s handled under a separate Care Plan with usage limits.
Will the assistant make things up?
It’s configured with guardrails and your approved business information. If it doesn’t know the answer, it hands off to your team instead of guessing.
Can it run without SGS forever?
Yes — if you own the site, AI/API key, and configuration, it’s yours to keep. SGS can also provide optional support or updates under a Care Plan.
Who pays the AI usage costs?
You do — the assistant runs on your own AI/API account, so usage is billed straight to you (for a small business, typically a few dollars a month). No SGS markup or middleman on usage. Prefer not to manage it? An optional Care Plan covers it with set usage limits.
What happens if it does not know an answer?
It is instructed not to guess. When it is unsure or the question is sensitive, it captures the visitor’s details and hands off to your team — so a person follows up instead of the assistant inventing an answer.

Ongoing costs (client-owned)

  • AI / API usage — you own the key and pay usage (typically a few $/mo at low traffic)
  • Optional chatbot platform / widget cost, if used
  • Optional database / vector storage, if used
  • Optional SMS alerts (scoped separately)
  • Tune-ups after the included 90 days = a Care Plan

Third-party costs such as domain, hosting, AI/API usage, booking software, payment-processor fees, SMS, automation tools, CRM, or premium plugins are not included unless specifically stated. SGS configures the system; you own and pay ongoing account costs. Anything SGS manages on a recurring basis is covered by a separate paid Care Plan (SGS support time, not third-party usage/subscription fees, unless stated in writing).
