BotWire
A 24/7 AI customer-support bot for your .NET app — self-hosted, bring-your-own-key, no SaaS fees.
Drop one package into your ASP.NET Core site, point it at your FAQ, and ship a support assistant that answers customers instantly from your docs — and quietly opens a human ticket the moment one is actually needed. You supply an OpenAI-compatible API key, so your only running cost is model tokens (pennies per conversation on gpt-4o-mini or DeepSeek).
Two lines to wire it up
builder.Services.AddBotWire(opts =>
{
opts.TopicDescription = "Online store customer support";
opts.Documents = ["docs/faq.md"];
opts.ChatProvider = new OpenAIProviderOptions { ApiKey = "sk-...", Model = "gpt-4o-mini" };
});
app.MapBotWire();
Embed the zero-dependency widget on any page:
<script src="/botwire/widget.js"></script>
<botwire-widget data-endpoint="/support" data-title="Acme Support"></botwire-widget>
What you get
- Grounded answers. Replies come only from the Markdown knowledge base you supply — no hallucinated policies, prices, or promises.
- Knows when to get a human. Collects contact details and raises a support ticket (emailed to your team) instead of guessing.
- Streaming chat widget. ~12 KB Web Component, Shadow DOM, no framework, one
<script>tag. - Multilingual. Replies in the customer's language; you pick the language your team reads tickets in.
- Production guards. PII + prompt-injection filters, five-dimension rate limiting (concurrency, per-minute, per-session, per-IP/hour, daily token budget), and an optional NDJSON audit log.
- Bring your own model. OpenAI, DeepSeek, Groq, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
