Every feature

Everything Tendabot does.

The full list — no “contact us to find out”. Where a feature is limited to a plan, it says so. If something you need isn't here, just ask — we reply within one business day.

The AI

42 models, 11 providers
Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Grok, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, Groq, Cerebras and Fireworks. Switch a bot's model any time — no migration, no re-training. See the full list with live per-reply costs on the models page.
Answers only from your content
Bots run with always-on guardrails: answer from your knowledge, admit uncertainty, and offer a person rather than invent a price, a policy or an address. Grounded facts beat guesswork.
Replies in your customer's language
Write in German, get German. Write in English, get English — including refusals and policy answers, not just the easy questions.
Streaming replies
Answers appear word by word as the model writes them, so nobody watches a spinner.
Cited sources
Replies can carry numbered source cards showing which article or page the answer came from — clickable, so a visitor can check for themselves.
Product-expert mode
For stores: the bot reasons about fit, compatibility and use case, but only ever recommends from your real catalogue.

Teaching your bot

Paste or upload
Paste text, or upload PDF, TXT, Markdown and CSV files up to 10 MB. Documents are split into chunks and the most relevant pieces are retrieved per question.
Crawl your website
Give it your URL. Tendabot discovers your pages, you pick which to include, and each becomes citable knowledge with a link back to the source. Re-sync any time.
Help Center articles
Write once: published as a public help centre for SEO and taught to the bot, so the same answer serves readers and chat.
Version history
Every save snapshots the bot's instructions and settings. Restore any earlier version in one click.

When a human is needed

Human handoff
Visitors can tap “Talk to a human” any time, and the AI offers it by itself when a question is sensitive or beyond its knowledge. The thread flips to your team, the AI goes quiet, and a person replies in the same window.
Turn handoff off
No one watching the inbox? Switch it off and the AI is instructed never to promise a person it can't deliver. A real off switch, not a hidden button.
Shared team inbox
Every conversation across every channel in one place, with take-over and hand-back-to-AI, conversation stages (open / pending / resolved), and full timestamps.
Choose who gets alerted
Per bot, pick exactly which team members are emailed on a handoff or a customer request — the person who answers chats often isn't the account owner.
Phone push notifications
Alerts reach your phone even with the console closed.
Office hours
Out of hours, visitors are told when your team is next around instead of waiting on a reply that won't come until morning.

For online stores

Live order lookupPro and Scale
Connect Shopify or WooCommerce and the bot answers “where is my order” from your real store — status, tracking, delivery.
Order privacy built inPro and Scale
An order number alone is never enough. The visitor must also confirm the checkout email, the phone number, or the delivery postcode — so nobody can walk order numbers to read other people's details.
Product searchPro and Scale
Recommendations come from your live catalogue with real prices and links, never invented products.
Customer requests
Cancellations, address changes, refunds, callbacks — the bot gathers the details, files the request to your inbox, and tells the customer a person will confirm. It never claims the action is already done.

Channels & conversation

Website widget
One script tag on any site — WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace or plain HTML. Plus a shareable /try link per bot with no install at all.
WhatsApp Business
Connect a WhatsApp number so the same bot answers there too.
Email continuation
A visitor who leaves an email can be replied to after they close the tab — and their reply threads back into your inbox as the same conversation.
Email the chat transcript
Visitors can send themselves a copy of the conversation. With your own mail server connected it arrives from your domain, and replies come back to you.
Rich messages
File, image and video uploads, voice notes (transcribed so the AI answers what was said), emoji and GIFs, typing indicators, and 👍/👎 on replies.
Lead capture
Optional pre-chat form for name, email and phone with your own consent text — so you get the lead even if they don't buy.

Running the business

Honest usage billing
Your plan sets how many AI replies you get; credits cover what those replies cost at the provider's real rate, with no markup on tokens. Full ledger in Billing.
Message packs
Busy month? Add +1,000 for $39 or +5,000 for $149. They never expire, and your included allowance is always used first.
Your team's replies are free
A reply sent by a person on your team never counts against your allowance and never spends credits.
Bring your own API keyScale
Paste your own provider key and that provider's replies cost zero Tendabot credits — they bill you directly. Keys are encrypted and validated on save.
Pay by invoice or bank transfer
Card not an option? We can invoice you and manage your plan directly. Ask us.
Contacts & CRM
Everyone who ever talked to your bot — name, email, phone, first contact, activity — with editable profiles and notes.
Analytics
Conversations, AI replies, spend per bot, cost per reply, model breakdown, busiest hours and customer satisfaction ratings.
Automations
Keyword rules that answer or route before the AI runs, auto-resolve for idle threads, and a configurable message for when something goes wrong.
Outbound webhooks
Push conversation events to your own systems — CRM, Zapier, anything that accepts a POST.
Manage it from Claude
A built-in MCP server: create bots, edit instructions, add knowledge, read conversations and reply — from your AI assistant.
Affiliate programme
20% commission on every payment from workspaces you refer, tracked automatically.

Branding & safety

Make it yours
Colours, position, launcher icon, title, welcome message, starter suggestions, your logo and avatar, and real team faces — all without touching the embed code.
Remove our brandingPro and Scale
Hide the “Powered by Tendabot” badge entirely.
Abuse protection
Origin allow-lists, per-IP and per-session rate limits, and daily reply caps per visitor and per site — so strangers can't drain your wallet.
Never a surprise bill
Spend fails closed. When credits or replies run out the bot pauses politely and routes to your team; you are never billed past what you bought.
Data handling
Encrypted keys and tokens at rest, verified-email signup, hashed single-use links, and per-workspace isolation on every read and write.
