Hey Product Hunt! We're taking a new approach to the now-familiar premise of an "AI chatbot for your business". Phil and I built Accordian to be different, after hearing a lot of hesitancy from real businesses re: putting a "generative AI chatbot" on their websites. Mostly, we heard businesses share the following 2 concerns: 1) "How can my customers TRUST the answers from generative AI?" 2) "What if the bot doesn't know the answer... will it hallucinate, and mislead my customers?" In response, we built Accordian to give "Instantly Verifiable" answers. Accordian uses *real quotes* and *direct previews* of original sources, so its answers are easy to verify at-a-glance. Your leads can even dig into your source content (case studies, blogs, help articles) in a click. Verification also solves the second problem: "What if the bot doesn't know the answer?" Accordian can admit when it doesn't know the answer and reach out automatically to your experts – and it learns from every interaction! This way, your experts get to spend time being the experts – not repeating themselves, and your AI bot gets smarter. All the while, your leads get warmed up with credible conversation (and email capture!). We hope you'll give it a try for free (no CC required!) and let us know if it solves your concerns with the idea of "generative AI for your business's website". Love to hear your feedback! We're iterating quickly, so if you drop a comment, we'll likely implement it! Cheers, Robert Co-founder, Accordian.ai

@genki_daido Thank you Genki! Love to hear your feedback - do you think there’s product-market fit here with business sites?
Huge congratulations to Team Accordian on your Producthunt launch! Your innovative approach to combining AI and verified information certainly sets you apart. One suggestion I'd like to make is perhaps integrating a feature where customers can rate or provide feedback on the bot responses? It could make the self-learning process even more proficient. Great work and looking forward to seeing Accordian in action!

@manmohit Great idea Manhomit – we're looking into a way of adding that feedback in a conversation manner, e.g. "Did this answer your question?" Stay tuned! Are you giving Accordian a try? Hope to hear your thoughts from using it!

At long last we don't have to just be stuck with Ada as the only option for helping Self-Serve customers!

If I could play an instrument it would be the accordion. ATM I can only play an ocarina but I lost my ocarina so I don't play anything. Does this app let you train the thing on your own pdfs or something?

Very nice, how hard is it to integrate? Congrats
Robert Higdon
@leon_ostrez Hi Leon, thanks for the question! It's not significantly hard to integrate, depending on the platform, and we've got the engineering talent to do it readily on demand ;-) . Which platform are you looking to integrate with?

Working in the chatbot industry I don’t have any idea what makes this more ‘credible’ than the wealth of other solutions available

@lee_fischman Hi Lee, great to hear from others in the industry and thanks for your question! The biggest difference in this regard is our glanceable direct quotations from your official sources, and the citations that link them directly to every single sentence. Our custom algorithms verify each sentence individually against the official content you provide, which is also unique, and will flag any sentences that accidentally slip in without an officially verified source. But most fundamentally, we know it's not enough to take the AI's word for it – which is why we provide those direct quotations supporting each sentence individually, and the ability in one tap to view the quotation in its original content (doc, PDF, etc.). Does this help answer your question?
