Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on where and how best to build an independent AI chatbot for my business website. My goal is to create a chatbot that can support my clients directly on my website (so not just a ChatGPT link, but something embedded and branded as part of my business). I’m not a coder, so I’m specifically looking for platforms that are user-friendly and require little to no coding. If you’ve built a chatbot that you’re genuinely happy with, I’d love to know: - Which platform did you use? - How easy was it to set up and maintain? - Does it allow custom knowledge bases / training on your own materials? - Is it independent and brandable? - Any limitations or things you wish you’d known before starting? I’d really appreciate hearing about real experiences — what worked well and what didn’t. Thank you in advance 🙏

After yesterday's learning session about Claude and it's Code function, I wanted to clarify with Claude what's actually available and who each feature is designed for. For me there was some confusion, as I am NO Coder 😅 , so let's break it down: What's Available in Claude Chat (No Coding Required!) 1. Conversations Your standard chat interface where you talk with Claude in natural language. Ask questions, get advice, brainstorm ideas, analyze documents, or work through problems together. This is the core experience and requires zero technical knowledge. 2. Projects A workspace feature where you can add custom knowledge and context that Claude can access across multiple conversations within that project. Think of it as giving Claude a reference manual about your work, preferences, or ongoing initiatives. You add documents, notes, or information once, and Claude remembers it for all chats within that project. Great for ongoing work without needing to re-explain context every time. 3. Artifacts This is where it gets exciting for non-coders! When you ask Claude to create something substantial - a document, a tool, an interactive app, a data visualization - it appears as an Artifact in a side panel. You can: - Request tools and applications in plain English - See them work immediately in your browser - Ask Claude to modify them through conversation - Use complex applications without writing a single line of code Example: "Create a budget tracker where I can add expenses by category" or "Build me an interactive quiz about European history" - Claude builds it, you use it. No coding knowledge required. What About Claude Code? Here's where I need to be clear, because this might differ from what was presented yesterday: Claude Code IS for developers Claude Code is a command-line tool designed for experienced developers who want Claude to help with coding tasks directly in their development environment. Why it requires coding knowledge: - You must be comfortable using a terminal/command line - You need to understand what Claude is doing to your actual code files - You should be able to review, test, and manage code changes - It integrates into professional development workflows

I need some suggestions.

One thing that stood out to me on day 1 was how AI can learn about me as an individual. This is what I found out: 🧠 How I “learn” about you Right now, I don’t automatically learn or remember things about you across chats. Each conversation is independent, meaning when you open a new chat, I don’t have access to the previous ones unless you bring something up again. When I respond, I only use: 1. What you tell me in the current conversation, and 2. My general knowledge and reasoning abilities (from training on a broad mix of texts, not your data). So if in one chat you tell me you’re writing a novel and in another you ask about marketing, I wouldn’t automatically connect those facts — I treat them as separate unless you remind me in the new chat. For ChatGPT to know you better, you need to... There is a feature called memory that can be turned on in your settings (Settings → Personalization → Memory). If you enable that: - I can remember details you choose to share — things like your name, interests, writing style, goals, or ongoing projects. - Then, in future chats, I can use that information to make responses more personalised, consistent, and “bespoke.” - You’ll always be able to see what I remember and delete or edit those details anytime. Until that feature is on, though, I don’t “learn” or retain knowledge between conversations. I hope this was helpful if you weren't aware of it, like I wasn't.
