Pellichat™: Locally Sourced Tech for Santa Fe
Pellichat™ is a natural extension of the Ask Zia™ platform. Pellichat can be installed on any website and answer questions from the public facing web pages, or any custom data set.
Chatbots are everywhere these days, and you can install one on almost any website. Pellichat is a bit different because it is built and maintained right here in Santa Fe. This means all data and revenue stay right here in northern New Mexico. I believe locally sourced tech is vital to bolster our economy and support the long-term technology goals of our region.
How It Works for Your Business
Pellichat can be configured to source data directly from your website's public pages. For instance, if you run a bakery with a long list of yummy items, Pellichat can ingest your menu to give visitors a conversational way to discover all the delicious options you offer. It also handles the simple questions like business hours and specific services so you can focus on your craft.
Custom Data and Local News
Beyond standard website info, Pellichat can connect to custom data sources. On this site, I have configured it to connect to a specific set of local news sources.
You can give it a try down below by asking a question about current events. For this demonstration, Pellichat uses sources like The Santa Fe New Mexican, The Santa Fe Reporter, and Source New Mexico. The data comes from their public RSS feeds, and Pellichat always cites the information. This ensures you can easily visit the original websites to support those hardworking organizations.
It is all about discoverability and using modern technology to find local information more quickly. It goes to show that people right here in Santa Fe can build truly awesome technologies.
