No coding. No tech headaches. Just results.
If you’re running a small business, you’ve probably had at least one of these thoughts:
“I wish I could answer customer questions faster.”
“I’m missing messages when I’m not at my computer.”
“It’d be nice to have someone helping out… but I can’t afford to hire another person.”
Good news — an AI chatbot can be your friendly assistant, and you can train one yourself for free.
Seriously. No programming skills needed.
Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Pick a Free AI Chatbot Tool
Some great options that work out of the box:
Tidio – Free plan available. Easy setup. ChatGPT-powered bots.
Botpress – Open-source and flexible. Great for customizing answers.
Flowise – Visual drag-and-drop interface. You can connect it with ChatGPT or Claude.
All of these let you set up your own “custom-trained” chatbot that runs right on your site.
Step 2: Add Your Business Info
Your chatbot is only as smart as what you feed it. Think of it like giving it a training manual.
Upload things like:
Your FAQs
Service descriptions
Your About Us page
Return/exchange/shipping policies
Sales brochures or menus
Most tools will let you upload PDFs, paste website links, or add text directly.
Step 3: Set the Chatbot’s Personality
You can often control how your chatbot sounds by adding a prompt like:
“You are a helpful and friendly small business assistant who answers clearly and professionally.”
You can also set it to be casual, funny, or formal — depending on your brand.
Step 4: Test It Yourself
Before going live, ask it the kind of questions customers really ask:
“What are your hours?”
“Do you do custom orders?”
“How long does shipping take?”
Tweak its answers if needed by adjusting your training info or the chatbot’s prompt.
Step 5: Add It to Your Website
Once you’re happy with it, these platforms give you a simple code snippet.
Paste it into your website (or use a WordPress plugin if that’s your thing), and boom — your virtual assistant is live.
🔴 Bonus: Save Time and Impress Customers

Cut down on repetitive emails
Answer customer questions 24/7
Reduce pressure on your team
Make your business look super polished
