GhostChat
Lightweight live-chat widget with an AI assistant built in, or bring your own LLM.
GhostChat is a live-chat widget built to be light — 18.9KB against Intercom's measured 1.1MB — with no tracking and no cookie banner needed. Every plan, including Free, includes a built-in AI chatbot (powered by Claude Haiku) that answers from your FAQ knowledge base and hands off to you when it's unsure; the Team plan ($39/mo) lets you swap in your own LLM over webhook — Ollama, GPT-4, Gemini — with no per-message AI fee either way. Pricing is flat per site, not per seat or per resolution.
