Custom.ai
Build custom AI chatbots trained on your own data
What is Custom.ai?
Custom.ai lets you build AI chatbots trained specifically on your own data, documents, or knowledge base. Instead of using a generic chatbot, you upload your content and the tool creates a custom model that understands your specific information. This is useful for organisations that want to automate customer support, answer employee questions, or provide instant access to internal documentation without relying on external AI services that don't know your context. The platform handles the technical setup, so you don't need machine learning expertise to get started. You simply provide your data, configure the chatbot, and deploy it. The freemium model means you can test the basics for free before committing to a paid plan.

Limitations
- Quality depends on the quality and clarity of your training data; poorly organised information produces worse results
