Will the bot make things up?

The risk is real, which is why ours answer only from your knowledge, with a hard boundary: 'I don't know — handing over to a human.' An honest handover beats a convincing fabrication, and that is how we build.

What does it cost to run monthly?

Model calls are billed by usage, so the monthly figure follows your traffic. Your quote includes an estimate for your volume — a number we can stand behind, not a generic promise.

Can the bot take actions, not just answer?

It can — register a request, book a slot, check a status. But that is an agentic system with tools and approval gates: the next level of complexity and cost, worth building once answering already works.

What happens to conversation data?

Conversations live in infrastructure you control and improve the bot's knowledge. Where and how data is processed — including the model vendor — is written into the contract, and sensitive flows can be restricted architecturally.

Pricing

How much does an AI chatbot cost for a business?

At Corera, a working AI chatbot answering from your knowledge base — documents, FAQs, service descriptions — starts at €5,000. Running costs come on top and scale with traffic; your quote includes an estimate for your volume, not a generic promise. A bot pays off when it absorbs your most repeated questions; your quote shows both lines within 3–5 business days.

What drives the cost?

Knowledge sources. A bot answers only as well as its knowledge. Preparing the documents — what is current, what is stale, how it is split — is the bulk of the work, invisible in demos.
Boundaries of responsibility. What the bot answers itself, when it says 'I don't know', when it hands over to a human — designed deliberately. A bot without boundaries will eventually promise a client something you never promised.
Channels. Website, Messenger, email — each channel is its own integration. Start with the one carrying the most questions, not with all of them at once.
Running costs. Model calls are priced by usage. Caching, model tiering and answer-length control cut those costs substantially — engineering rather than skimping on answer quality.

How long does it take?

A working bot built on your knowledge base ships in 2–4 weeks. The first weeks after launch go to tuning on real conversations: weak answers surface and knowledge gets filled. That is the process working as intended.

When is it not worth buying?

If client questions are rare and unique every time, the bot has nothing to learn and nothing to absorb — it will answer in generalities. Bots pay off where the same questions repeat dozens of times a week: hours, prices, terms, statuses. Without that pattern, you don't need one yet.
