Description
The Free tier handles the essentials: AI chat widget, FAQ manager, single brand color, cost caps, and email reports. FrontDesk AI Chat Pro adds the full control layer your business or agency actually needs.
AI Cost Controls
- AI Model Selector — Choose Claude Haiku (fastest, lowest cost), Sonnet (balanced), or Opus (most capable). Match cost to use case per site — a simple FAQ bot runs on Haiku at a fraction of Sonnet’s cost.
- API Payload Optimizer — Compresses your knowledge base by up to 70% before each API call, reviewed and approved by you before activation. On high-volume sites, this translates directly to a 70% reduction in your largest cost driver.
- Configurable Max Tokens & Conversation Memory — Set maximum response length and how many prior turns to include in context. Two independent cost levers for every deployment.
- Per-Session Rate Limiting — Caps API calls per visitor session within a time window. Prevents one abusive session from consuming a disproportionate share of the daily budget.
Availability & Scheduling
- Schedule-Based Availability — Configure active hours, days of week, and months with timezone support. Align the chatbot’s availability with your team’s capacity to act on what it captures.
- Offline / Unavailable Message — A branded message for visitors who arrive outside scheduled hours — not a broken or missing widget.
