Local-first · your data stays on your machine

Support answers you can trust, from your own knowledge base.

Answerkeel answers customer questions using only the facts you give it — then checks every reply against those facts before a customer sees it. When a reply can't be supported, the customer gets a plain fallback instead of a guess.

What Answerkeel is

Answerkeel is a customer-support assistant for small businesses. You write down how your business works — hours, services, prices, the questions you keep answering — and Answerkeel replies to customers from that text alone.

The part that matters is what happens next. Before any reply reaches a customer, a second, smaller model reads it back against your knowledge base and marks every claim. If a name, a number or a price isn't in your text, or the check can't run, the reply is held back and the customer is told a person will follow up. It would rather stay quiet than invent something.

How the check works

Three steps, every time a customer asks something.

Answer

The question and your knowledge base go to a model that runs on your own machine. Answerkeel never sends them anywhere else.

Split and check

The reply is broken into single claims. Each claim is compared with the closest lines from your knowledge base by the checking model.

Release or hold

Names, numbers and prices must also appear in your text. If a claim is unsupported — or the check can't run — the customer gets a safe fallback instead of the reply.

The fallback is plain: “I can't confirm that, the team will follow up.” A person can then answer properly.

Put it on your website

The same checked answers, in a chat bubble on any site. One script tag, no framework, no build step.

Answerkeel — widget on a business site
The Answerkeel chat widget open on a sample dentist's website: a customer question, the answer, and a 'checked against our knowledge base' badge.
The widget. A customer asks a question; the answer is checked against the business's knowledge base before it is shown. The tick only appears on answers the check released.

On a site, it is one line:

<script src="https://chat.yourdomain.com/widget.js" data-endpoint="https://chat.yourdomain.com" defer></script>

The widget is served by answerkeel-serve, which talks to the same local model server as the desktop app. It lives in its own shadow root, so it can't clash with a site's styles, and every web conversation is stored locally with channel web.

Measured, not promised

correct answers held back by mistake

One model, a small sample. The check makes invented facts less likely — it does not promise they will never happen. Keep a person in the loop for anything that matters, and don't use Answerkeel for medical advice or health records.

Private by default

Answerkeel's only connection of its own is the optional check-model download. Your customers' messages go only to the model server you configure — local, or one you choose.
