Overview

Frequently asked questions

What does an AI chatbot development company do?

An AI chatbot development company designs, builds, and deploys conversational agents that answer questions, route intents, and escalate to humans — typically with RAG over your docs and CRM integrations. Zar Labs scopes chatbots after discovery with production guardrails.

How much does custom chatbot implementation cost?

Zar Labs AI chatbot packages typically start around $200 for a focused micro pilot and scale toward $10,000 with more channels, integrations, and guardrails. Simpler FAQ bots stay lean; multi-channel production systems cost more.

How is custom chatbot development different from buying chatbot SaaS?

SaaS bots cover generic FAQs. Custom development wins when you need retrieval over your docs, CRM/helpdesk actions, compliance, or brand-safe escalations — with ownership of prompts, evals, and data.

Do you build chatbots that connect to existing CRMs?

Yes. We integrate chatbots with CRMs, helpdesks, and knowledge bases so conversations create tickets, update leads, and escalate with full context.
