[ 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.
