    How to embed AI chatbots on your website

    As we mentioned before, AI is really good at offering a part of your service in an automated manner. As long as you teach it how. And turns out, you don’t have to charge people to use your AI tools in order to make money with them. 

    Many online solopreneurs offer some part of their service for free as a form of lead-generation. And many businesses are taking this lead-generation service (i.e. whatever they do in a consultation call) and turning it into an AI chatbot to embed in their website. When they embed a GPT into their website, they’re able to provide lead-generation service to more customers, producing more possible leads.
