The customer writes on WhatsApp or Telegram and the bot finds the right answer in a fraction of a second. If the question is outside the knowledge base or requires human involvement, the bot escalates the chat to an agent with the full conversation history. Support runs without interruption: at night, on weekends and on public holidays. 1. Collect your knowledge base: FAQ page, scripts and standard support answers. 2. Define the channels: WhatsApp, Telegram, web chat or a combination. 3. Set up the dialogue structure: greeting, main menu, question sections. 4. Load the knowledge base into the bot and set the escalation rules to the agent. 5. Connect the bot to the WhatsApp Business API or the Telegram Bot API. 6. Configure the handover of the chat to an agent with the conversation history. 7. Test all dialogue branches with real customer enquiries. 8. Go live, track automation metrics and keep expanding the knowledge base. ## How much does a FAQ support chatbot cost and what is included? ### Price depends on the number of channels and knowledge base size, not business size Cost depends on the number of channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, website), the size of the knowledge base and the complexity of the escalation logic. A basic single-channel bot with a ready knowledge base costs noticeably less than a multichannel solution with dynamic answers and CRM integration. Exact prices for "Chatbots for business" are in the packages block below; here is a level-by-level reference. **FAQ support chatbot levels** | Level | What is included | Timeline | Who it fits | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Start | One channel (WhatsApp or Telegram), up to 50 Q&A knowledge base, agent escalation | 1 week | Small business, first FAQ bot | | Growth | 2 channels, up to 150 Q&A, question categories, enquiry statistics | 2 weeks | Growing business with multiple support channels | | Full | Multichannel + CRM, dynamic answers from DB, analytics and retraining | 3-4 weeks | Business with high enquiry volume and multiple support teams | ## How many enquiries does the FAQ bot resolve without a human agent? ### With a good knowledge base, up to 70-80% of routine enquiries The key factor is the quality and completeness of the knowledge base. The better the answers to common questions are structured (delivery, payment, warranty, opening hours), the higher the share of automatically resolved enquiries. Automating routine requests noticeably cuts the operational costs of support. Unusual cases are detected by the bot and handed to an agent, so support never loses a customer. ### Expert opinion > According to IBM estimates, businesses spend around $1.3 trillion annually handling customer enquiries, a large share of which are repetitive routine questions. Chatbots can automate up to 80% of such enquiries and significantly reduce the operational costs of support. > > IBM, Customer service cost analytics.

It is a chatbot trained on your data (FAQ page, instructions and scripts) that answers customers on WhatsApp and Telegram instantly, without a human agent. Complex questions are passed to a live employee. The customer gets an answer at night and on weekends, while the team deals only with the complex cases. ### Which messaging channels does the FAQ bot work on? The main channels are WhatsApp and Telegram. If needed, we connect the website chat and other channels. The bot works across multiple channels simultaneously with a single knowledge base. An answer is edited once and takes effect immediately in every channel where the bot works. ### How does the FAQ bot transfer the chat to an agent? When a question is outside the knowledge base or the customer asks for an agent, the bot switches the conversation to a live employee and passes the full conversation history. The agent sees the context and continues without unnecessary questions. ### How many questions does the knowledge base need to launch the bot? To start, 20-50 question-answer pairs on the most common topics are enough: delivery, payment, warranty, returns, opening hours. The base is expanded after launch based on real enquiries. Answers you already give in chats and calls go into the base almost unchanged; nothing needs writing from scratch. ### Do we need a WhatsApp Business API account? For a fully automated bot on WhatsApp, the official WhatsApp Business API is needed. We help with the setup. For Telegram, creating a bot via BotFather is sufficient and free. Connecting the WhatsApp Business API takes a few days and requires business verification with Meta. ### How quickly does the FAQ support bot launch? A basic bot with one channel and a ready knowledge base launches in 1 week. A multichannel solution with CRM integration takes 3-4 weeks. Timelines depend on the size of the knowledge base and how quickly access is provided. During the first week after launch we review real dialogues and fix the answers customers do not grasp at once. ### Can the knowledge base be updated after launch? Yes. The knowledge base can be expanded and edited at any time, by you or by us. We recommend updating it every 1-2 weeks based on questions the bot could not answer on its own. The bot collects the list of unanswered questions by itself, so the material for expanding the base is always at hand. ### How secure is customer data in the chatbot? The bot works through the official WhatsApp and Telegram APIs; data is not stored uncontrollably. We configure minimum required permissions and log actions. Confidential information is not shared with third parties. The chat history can be stored in your own CRM rather than with a third-party service. ### Do you support the bot after launch? Yes. We offer support and maintenance: error monitoring, knowledge base expansion, escalation logic adjustments and technical updates. We also hand over full control to your team with instructions. You choose the support format: monthly maintenance or one-off fixes on request. ### What happens if a customer writes something not in the knowledge base? The bot recognises that it cannot answer and offers the customer to contact an agent or leave a contact for a callback. The request is logged and becomes material for expanding the knowledge base. The customer is never left hanging: they always see what to do next.
