FAQ
How fast could we have AI chatbots in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Bendigo businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Bendigo businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Anyone else in this space using AI chatbots?
Plenty. Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What if our Bendigo doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI chatbots specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, OpenAI, Custom RAG pipelines and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
