Post Description

Hey HN!

I built SiteChat because every client I worked with asked for a chatbot, and every single one dreaded the setup – documents, intents, training dashboards, hours of configuration.

SiteChat works differently. You paste one `<script>` tag, and it automatically crawls your live website. The AI reads your actual pages – products, services, FAQ – and answers visitors' questions. When your site changes, the chatbot updates itself. No training, no configuration.

*Key differentiators:* - Zero setup – paste one script, it reads your live site - Multi-language – reads content in any language, answers visitors in theirs - Pricing: $19/mo all-in vs Intercom at €25/seat + extra for AI - Dual AI: DeepSeek with automatic OpenAI fallback - Proactive popups (timed + exit-intent) - Kanban enquiry management dashboard - 14-day free trial, no credit card

Built solo with Next.js, TypeScript, and Firebase. Deployed at sitechat.labradical.com.au.

Would love your feedback!
