Chatter by Inherent

Your website answers back. And knows when to hand over.

Chatter reads your own pages, answers visitors in seconds, and passes anything it can’t settle to your team’s phone — with the reason attached. No scripts to write, no invented fees.

Two lines of code, or one WordPress plugin. Your own AI key, your own bill.

Ask Chatter About Chatter

This page runs Chatter, and the assistant in the corner has read it. Ask it anything you would ask us — or tap a question here and watch it answer.

It answers from this page and inherent.com, with the source attached. Anything it can’t settle goes to the Inherent team’s phones — exactly what it would do on your site.

How it works

Four Steps, One Screen Each

The setup is the same page you come back to: it opens on whatever still needs you.

01

Give it your website

One address. It sorts your site into what to read and what to skip — posts and news stay out — and you overrule any line.

What it reads
Read /fees/ 2 pages
Read /practice-areas/ 6 pages
Read /contact/ 1 page
Skip 43 posts archive
Read these 9 pages
02

Fill the gaps

It shows the seven things visitors ask about and which ones your site doesn’t settle. A sentence from you fills each.

What your assistant knows · 5 of 7
✓ What you do
✓ Services & products
! Pricing & fees answer in a sentence
✓ How to get started
! Hours answer in a sentence
03

Test & fine-tune

Ask it what a visitor would. Approve what it gets right; correct what it gets wrong. Either becomes knowledge.

Do you handle custody?
Yes — custody, divorce and prenuptial agreements. We don’t take criminal work.

04

Put it live

A checklist of what it needs — key, disclosure, the questions on the widget, the rules for your kind of business — each one click.

✓ Visitors are told it’s an AI

Why Chatter

Built To Be Trusted With Your Name On It

Most chatbots are a search box with a personality. Chatter is the front desk: it answers what it knows, says so when it doesn’t, and tells a person.

It knows when to say “I don’t know”.

Every answer comes from your material with the source attached. Nothing close enough? It hands over rather than guess — and the question shows up on your Knowledge page as a gap to fill in a sentence.

What visitors asked that it couldn’t answer
“Do you offer payment plans?” asked 3 times · Answer it
“Can I bring a translator?” once · Answer it

Your team gets told about what needs a person.

A heads-up when a chat starts, then quiet while the assistant handles it. The moment it hands over, the push says who, what, and why — and the badge counts only what’s waiting on a human.

Suggested replies for your team.

When a chat comes to a person, the app offers three short replies drawn from your site and the conversation — one that answers, one that asks, one that buys time honestly. Tap to edit, hold to send. A saved reply that fits comes first. The visitor sees nothing until you send.

1Happy to help. A first 30-minute consultation is free; custody matters are quoted after that. Would a call this week suit?
2Thanks, Priya. Fees depend on how much the two sides agree on — could you tell me where things stand?
3Let me check with the family team and come back to you shortly.

A dashboard that shows people, not counts.

Who is waiting and for how long, this week against last, and what the assistant knows — the four numbers that say whether it’s working.

Made with law firms in mind.

Tell it you’re a law firm and which state, and it lists the rules that apply — AI disclosure, no legal advice, no attorney–client relationship, own-case questions to a person, New York’s advertising words — each with its source and a one-click fix. A checklist, not advice; confirm it with your bar. Read about Chatter for law firms →

Runs on your own AI account.

Anthropic, OpenAI or Google — your key, encrypted, only the last four characters ever shown. The words it writes are billed to you at cost; Chatter is priced as software, not resold tokens.

Installs in a minute.

Two lines on your site, or the WordPress plugin with a paste of your site key. Colors, logo and questions come from your account, so changing them later touches nothing on the site.

Do you have questions?

The Ones We Get Asked

Will it make things up?

No. It answers only from what you’ve given it and says where the answer came from. If nothing is close enough, it hands the visitor to a person instead of guessing — and you see the question so you can add the answer.

What happens when it hands over?

The visitor is told a person is coming. Your team gets a push that says who asked what and why it handed over. The thread waits in the app’s “Needs a person” list until somebody opens it — with three suggested replies ready, drawn from your site and the conversation, to tap, edit and send.

Do we need our own AI account?

Yes — an API key from Anthropic, OpenAI or Google. It takes five minutes, the usage is billed to you at cost, and it means nobody else holds your key or marks up your tokens.

Is this OK for a law firm?

Chatter was built with law firms in mind. It discloses that it’s an AI, refuses to give legal advice or form a client relationship, hands “my case” questions to a person, and lists the rules for your state with a one-click fix. Treat that list as a checklist and confirm it with your bar.

How long does setup take?

Most firms are live in an afternoon: paste the site address, fill the gaps it finds, test a few questions, add the key, install the snippet or plugin.
