[ Pillar 3 · HeldChat (product) ]

A chatbot that works at night.

Embeddable AI chatbot for your website. Answers routine questions 24/7, forwards complex inquiries, learns from your content. Swiss DPA-compliant, Swiss servers.

[ Use cases ]

Three situations you probably know.

Off-hours inquiries · laptop at night // CASE A 01

Inquiries outside office hours

The inquiry comes in at 10 pm. No one picks up. By the next day, the customer is with the competition. HeldChat answers immediately — at night too, on Sundays too.

Routine questions · robot hand next to human hand // CASE B 02

Routine questions that eat your time

"Does insurance cover this?", "Do you have parking?", "What does a first appointment cost?" — thirty times a day. HeldChat answers, you focus on your core business.

Pre-qualification · office conversation // CASE C 03

Pre-qualification instead of lead junk

HeldChat asks what the person actually needs — before the conversation lands with you. You get pre-qualified inquiries, not business-card collectors.

[ What runs under the hood ]

The pipeline that avoids hallucinations.

Generic chatbots invent answers when they're unsure. For a business that's the worst possible behavior. HeldChat works with a five-stage pipeline that prevents exactly that.

1

Conformity check

Input is checked for spam, manipulation, and off-topic.

2

FAQ match

Frequent questions answered directly from vetted FAQ dataset — no AI generation.

3

RAG

For new questions, HeldChat searches your content (website, documents) for matching context.

4

LLM response

The language model formulates the answer — grounded in the found context, not in training data.

5

Output guard

Before sending, the answer is checked for hallucinations and false claims.

What can't be answered is honestly declined — with a referral back to you. Better "I can't answer that — let me connect you" than an invented answer.

[ Swiss compliance ]

Where your data lands — and where it doesn't.

HeldChat is built for the Swiss market, not American product re-hosted on Swiss servers. That's a difference.

Hosting in Switzerland

Servers in Swiss data centers. No data transfer to the US without an explicit processing agreement.

Swiss DPA compliant

Meets the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG) since September 2023 with no extra configuration.

Role-based access

You see conversations, you delete conversations. No one else.

Audit trail

Every answer is logged — what was asked, what was answered, on what source material. Fully traceable.

[ Four tiers ]
