Use tool ↗About Gista
Gista builds a website chat agent out of your own content: give it a URL, it crawls the pages, and the resulting bot answers visitor questions and captures leads. You can top up the index with PDFs, CSVs or plain text, set the tone and persona, and it answers in around 80 languages. It embeds on your own site and works with hosted builders such as Squarespace. The vendor is Dot Product AI, Inc., a Delaware company founded by Kenn Ejima. Pricing is unusually legible for this category: free forever at 10 messages a day, Bronze $19/month for 2,000 messages and one bot, Silver $59, Gold $199, then enterprise quotes.

Pros & cons of Gista
Gista is a small, honest retrieval chatbot builder: crawl the site, answer questions, hand over a lead. The $19 tier with 2,000 messages is priced for a single site rather than an agency. What you do not get is helpdesk integration, ticket handoff or an API, so it stops at the top of the funnel.
Pros
- Builds the knowledge base by crawling your URL
- Extra sources via PDF, CSV and plain text
- Answers in roughly 80 languages
- Published tiers from $19/month with a real free plan
Cons
- One chatbot on the entry plan and low message caps
- No public API or CRM write-back documented
- Company details are thin — no address or team page
Best for
- single marketing sites that want a pre-sales chat agent
- small businesses replacing a contact form
- answering multilingual visitor questions off existing pages
Not for
- support teams needing ticketing and escalation
- agencies running many client bots on one plan
Watch out: Message allowances are per plan, not per bot — a busy page can burn through Bronze's 2,000 in weeks.
