Hi Sarah! I'm Vela, your assistant at Pawty Yoga. How can I help you today?
Sarah · 11:47 PM
How much do sessions cost? And are kids allowed?
Vela · 11:47 PM

The problem

Your website visitors leave without talking to you

They have questions about your services, pricing, and availability. If they can't get an answer in seconds, they leave — and you never even know they were there.

79%

Leave without converting

Most website visitors have questions but no easy way to ask them. They browse, get stuck, and bounce to a competitor instead.

62%

Visit outside business hours

Most people search for services in the evening and on weekends. If you're not available to answer, that lead is gone by morning.

$0

From visitors you never knew about

Without a way to engage them in real-time, you're invisible to the people already on your website looking for help.

Live in 2 minutes. Works forever.

What if Vela says the wrong thing?

It's the first thing every business owner asks. Here's the honest answer.

📚

Vela only uses YOUR information

He pulls answers from your FAQ knowledge base, business profile, hours, and service areas. He doesn't make things up — he only says what you've told him.

📞

When unsure, he directs to your phone

If Vela isn't confident in an answer, he says "Give us a call at [your number]." No guessing, no hallucinating, no bad answers.

📊

Every conversation is logged

Every message, every response, every lead captured is stored in your dashboard. Full transparency, full audit trail.

🎯

Accuracy improves over time

Your analytics show what visitors ask most. Add those questions to your FAQs and Vela's accuracy keeps climbing. You're always in control.

Built for local businesses that get questions all day

If customers visit your website and ask about pricing, hours, services, or booking — Vela handles it.

Common questions

How does Vela know how to answer questions about my business?
+
Vela uses your FAQ knowledge base that you set up in the dashboard. You enter common questions and answers — pricing, hours, services, policies — and Vela uses them to respond accurately. He only says what you've told him. If he doesn't know the answer, he directs the visitor to call your phone number.
How long does setup take?
+
About 2 minutes to get the chatbot live on your website. You create an account, add a few FAQs, and paste one line of code into your site. There's also a test chat page in your dashboard so you can try it before it goes live.
What happens if Vela doesn't know the answer?
+
Vela is trained to recognize when he's not confident. Instead of guessing, he directs the visitor to call your business phone number. Example: "Great question! For the best answer, give us a call at (346) 410-6022 and we'll get you taken care of." No bad answers, no frustrated customers.
Does Vela capture leads automatically?
+
Yes. Before the chat starts, every visitor provides their name and email (phone is optional). That information is saved to your Lead Database in the dashboard along with their full conversation. You can then email them directly, add internal notes, and track their status from New to Converted.
What types of businesses does this work for?
+
Any business that has a website and gets questions from customers. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, yoga studios, pet services, salons, auto repair, cleaning, landscaping, dental offices, and more. If visitors ask about pricing, hours, booking, or services — Vela handles it.
Can I cancel anytime?
+
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your billing page anytime. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. The Starter plan includes a 7-day free trial with no credit card required.
How is this different from a generic chatbot?
+
Generic chatbots use keyword triggers and canned responses. Vela actually understands what the visitor is asking and responds using your real business information. He sounds like you, not a robot. He knows your pricing, your hours, your service area, and your policies — because you taught him.
What is Vela Voice AI?
+
On the Pro plan, Vela becomes your AI receptionist and answers phone calls too. When a customer calls your business number, Vela picks up instantly, greets them, and answers their questions using your FAQs — just like the chat widget but over the phone. The voice sounds natural (powered by ElevenLabs), responds in under 1 second, and every call is transcribed and saved to your dashboard. 200 minutes per month are included.
Does Vela sound like a real person on the phone?
+
Yes. Vela uses ElevenLabs voice technology, which produces one of the most natural-sounding AI voices available. Vela speaks with natural pacing, energy, and conversational tone. Most callers don't realize they're talking to an AI assistant.
Can callers ask to speak to a real person?
+
Yes. If a caller asks to speak to someone, Vela will offer to transfer them to your business line directly. You stay in control — Vela handles the routine questions, you handle the important conversations.
