A no-code guide to building, embedding, and launching an AI chatbot that talks like a human. Live in 5 minutes on your website.
Here's how to build an AI video chatbot for your website in under 5 minutes, with a real face, voice, and your brand's knowledge and then drop it into your website using any of the major site builders.
What is an AI video chatbot?
An AI video chatbot is a conversational assistant that lives on your website and talks to visitors with a real-looking face and voice, powered by an LLM trained on your business. It answers questions, qualifies leads, and books appointments in a way that actually feels human.
Why add an AI video chatbot to your website?
Traditional text-based chatbots feel old and outdated. With tools like ChatGPT and Claude becoming popular, customers are expecting more intelligent experiences from brands. With Lookalike, your company is represented 24/7 by a hyper-realistic AI avatar that feels human.
