Build a chatbot on your own documents — and put the exact same knowledge to work inside ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot too. EU-hosted, hybrid retrieval, and a source under every answer. Not just another standalone widget.
Standing up a chatbot on your own data is the easy part. The real questions come next: where does the data live, where does my team actually work, and what does this cost when it takes off?
Per its own privacy policy, Chatbase stores personal data with third parties in the United States (AWS us-east-1) and covers EU transfers with standard contractual clauses under GDPR Article 46. Legal, but it is exactly the conversation with your DPO you would rather have before, not after. TalkWithData runs entirely on EU servers, with no transfer outside the EU.
A bot on your site is useful, but your colleagues spend the day in ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot — not in that single chat box. Knowledge that never reaches them never gets used. Our browser extension and MCP server enrich the tools your team already has open.
Chatbase meters on message credits: 50 on the free plan, 4,000 on Standard, with top-ups costing extra. The more popular your bot, the faster the meter runs. Success should not be a penalty.
A widget on your site that answers from your manuals, FAQ and policies — with the source attached, so a customer can check it and you can trust it. Anything the bot cannot back up is flagged as unknown rather than invented.
Employees ask straight inside ChatGPT or Copilot; TalkWithData injects the right passage from your HR handbook or processes, scoped to the department allowed to see it.
Answers grounded in your files and templates, with a staleness warning when a document gets too old. No guesswork, no invented clauses.
Beyond the chatbot widget you get a browser extension, an MCP server and an API. One knowledge base serves ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot — no need to lure people into a new app.
Hybrid search (BM25 + dense embeddings + RRF), a cross-encoder reranker and a knowledge-graph entity boost. It finds the right passage even when the user phrases things differently than the document does.
Every answer is grounded in the injected context, with a visible source and a staleness warning on aging documents. If the system does not know, it says so instead of guessing.
