Blueprint

Chatbase Client Onboarding Sprint (5-7 days)

A structured 5-7 day sprint to deploy a Chatbase AI agent for a client, covering setup, training, multi-channel integration, and handoff.

Prerequisites
  • Client's website URL and brand assets (logo, colors, tone guidelines)
  • Access to client's knowledge base, FAQ, or support documentation (PDFs, web pages, or text files)
  • Client's preferred communication channels (website chat, email, voice) and API keys if needed
  • Chatbase account on at least the Hobby plan ($32/month annual) to cover 500 message credits
  • Client's approval on agent persona and escalation rules
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Create a new AI agent in Chatbase and configure its name, welcome message, and fallback response
  • 2.Upload client's training content (up to 1 MB on Free plan; upgrade to Hobby for larger files)
  • 3.Set agent's tone and personality using Chatbase's custom instructions field
  • 1.Test agent responses in Chatbase's preview chat and refine training data
  • 2.Add custom knowledge via Chatbase's 'Add Content' feature (URLs, PDFs, or text)

  • 2.Add missing training data from real user questions to improve accuracy
  • 3.Set up weekly email report in Chatbase for client (if available on plan)

$32-$99/month (Hobby or Standard plan) plus agency markup5-7 days
ROI Logic

Agency charges a flat setup fee of $1,500-$3,000 and a monthly retainer of $500-$1,000 for management. The underlying Chatbase plan costs $32-$99/month, yielding a gross margin of 85-95% on the recurring revenue. Message credits (500-2,000/month) are sufficient for most SMB clients, keeping overage risk low.

Deliverables
  • Deployed Chatbase AI agent with custom training data and brand-aligned persona
  • Integrated chat widget on client's website and email channel configured
  • Human handoff rules and CRM integration (if applicable) operational
  • Client-facing admin guide with login credentials and analytics dashboard access
  • Post-launch performance report with key metrics (conversations, resolution rate, credits used)
Definition of Done

Client's Chatbase agent is live on at least one channel, handling real customer queries with a resolution rate above 80% and no critical escalations for 24 hours.
