vs AI Chatbots & Automation
A ChatGPT wrapper isn't an AI integration.
Off-the-shelf AI tools (Custom GPTs, Zapier AI, Voiceflow, Botpress, Tidio, Drift Fin) drop a chatbot on your site. Real AI integrations connect Claude or GPT to your actual data, your actual systems, and the actual workflow you want to automate. We build and maintain those integrations.
