Features & Capabilities

How does the AI chatbot learn from my website?

QuackChat uses web crawling to read every page of your website, then processes the content using AI embeddings and stores it in a vector database. When visitors ask questions, it finds the most relevant content and generates accurate answers with source citations.

Can the chatbot handle customer support questions?

Yes! QuackChat excels at customer support. It can answer FAQs, explain product features, provide troubleshooting help, and guide users to the right resources. For complex issues, it can collect contact information and escalate to human support.

Does QuackChat support multiple languages?

Yes, QuackChat can understand and respond in over 50 languages. It automatically detects the language of incoming messages and responds in the same language, making it ideal for international businesses.

Can I customize how the chatbot looks?

Absolutely! You can customize colors to match your brand, position (bottom-right, bottom-left, etc.), welcome message, suggested questions, bot name and avatar, and even hide the 'Powered by QuackChat' branding on paid plans.

Technical & Integration

How do I add the chatbot to my website?

Copy the embed code snippet from your bot's Embed Code tab in the dashboard and paste it into your website's HTML before the closing body tag. The code is a single script tag with your unique bot ID. Detailed instructions are provided in your dashboard.

Does QuackChat work with Shopify?

Yes! We have a native Shopify integration that syncs your product catalog automatically. The chatbot can answer questions about products, pricing, availability, and help customers find what they're looking for.

What is RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)?

RAG is an AI technique that combines information retrieval with text generation. Instead of making up answers (hallucinating), the chatbot retrieves relevant content from your website and uses it to generate accurate, grounded responses with source citations you can verify.

Can I upload documents like PDFs?

Yes, in addition to crawling your website, you can upload PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and TXT files to expand your chatbot's knowledge base. This is great for product manuals, internal documentation, or any content not on your website.

Security & Privacy

Is my website data secure?

Yes. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption. We use tenant-isolated storage, meaning your data is completely separate from other customers. We never share or sell your data.

Do you use my content to train AI models?

No. Your website content is only used to power your own chatbot. We do not use customer data to train any AI models. Your content remains private and is never shared with other customers or used for any other purpose.

Are you GDPR compliant?

Yes, QuackChat is fully GDPR compliant. We provide data processing agreements, support data subject access requests, and automatically delete all data when you disconnect an integration or delete your account.
