Search bots for the content you already own.
CommonChat is a self-hostable platform for embedding AI search bots on any website. Upload a CSV, PDF, or sitemap; visitors ask in plain English and get back a ranked list of sources with descriptions and links — in your bot's voice.
No credit card. No telemetry. No vendor lock-in.
Built for content owners, not chat tinkerers.
The opinionated subset of "AI chatbot" that actually solves search.
Bring your own keys
Plug in Anthropic and OpenAI keys you already have. We never proxy your inference and never charge per token.
Search-bot answers
Visitors get bulleted titles, short descriptions, and source URLs — paginated. Designed for content libraries, not generic chat.
Two embed modes
Floating bubble for marketing pages, inline panel for member portal libraries. One snippet, branded to match your site.
Multi-tier ready
One bot per content tier. Free tier loads intro content + upsells; paid tier loads the full library, no upsells.
Self-hostable
Apache 2.0. Postgres + pgvector. Drop it on Railway, Fly, or your own box — same code as the hosted service.
No tracking
No analytics, no pixels, no telemetry. Not in the dashboard. Not in the widget. Nowhere.
Simple pricing.
Self-host the core forever. The hosted service is opening soon.
