ConvoRail - Conversational AI for Businesses
FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

How ConvoRail works, what it does and doesn't do today, and how it handles your data. Billing questions are also on the Pricing page.

All questions

Everything we get asked.

Can't find yours? Ask the chat bubble, or use the form below.

How does the AI decide what to answer?

Your visitor's question is matched against your Q&A pairs. Close enough match → the model answers grounded in that content. No close match → it says it doesn't know and offers to escalate, rather than guessing.

How long does setup take?

Minutes, not a sprint. Write a handful of Q&A pairs in the dashboard, paste one script tag into your site. No framework or backend integration required.

Do I need to verify my email before I can use it?

No — signup and the dashboard are open immediately. Email verification only gates revealing the widget install snippet (Settings → API key, or step 3 of onboarding), so a working chat widget can't end up live on a site before we've confirmed the signup email is real.

Can I customize the AI's tone or escalation rules?

Not yet. Today the model's instructions are fixed to strict grounding. Configurable tone and escalation rules are a real gap, not a shipped feature.

Can visitors reach a human?

The bot tells them to when it can't answer. Routing that into a live agent queue or ticketing system isn't built yet.

Is technical knowledge required?

No — writing Q&A pairs is plain text, and embedding is one script tag. No API integration is needed for basic use.

Can I see what the bot is answering?

Yes — the dashboard shows Q&A coverage, message volume, and a real count of questions it couldn't answer, so gaps in your knowledge base are visible, not hidden.

Is my data isolated from other accounts?

Yes — every tenant's knowledge base, conversations, and API key are scoped at the database layer. Nothing is shared or mixed across accounts.

How does pricing work?

Plan tiers by Q&A pair count and messages per month, with a genuinely free tier to start. See the Pricing page for exact numbers and prices in your currency.

How do I get support?

Email convo.rail.ai@gmail.com — there's no live chat or ticketing system on our own side yet, so email is the direct line to a real person.

Can I add more teammates to my account?

Starter includes 2 seats, Growth 3, Scale 4 (Free is solo-only, 1 seat). Need more? Buy extra seats anytime from Settings > Team in your dashboard - bundles start at ₹299 for 1 seat, down to ₹1,499 for 10 (larger bundles cost less per seat), charged instantly via Razorpay.

How do I get started with ConvoRail?

Sign up - no credit card required - and you're in the dashboard immediately, ready to add your first Q&A pairs.

Do I need to verify my email to use ConvoRail?

The dashboard is open right after signup, but the install snippet (your API key) only unlocks after email verification - so a working widget can't go live on a real site before we've confirmed the signup email is real.

What's the first thing I should do after signing up?

Add a handful of Q&A pairs covering the questions your visitors actually ask, before installing the widget on your live site.

How long does full setup take, start to finish?

Minutes, not a sprint - write a few Q&A pairs, paste one script tag.

Do I need technical skills to set up ConvoRail?

No - writing Q&A pairs is plain text, and installing the widget is pasting one script tag. No coding knowledge required for the basic setup.

Can I explore the dashboard before adding real content?

Yes - the dashboard is accessible right after signup. Add your real Q&A pairs whenever you're ready.

What happens if I install the widget before adding any Q&A pairs?

The bot has nothing grounded to answer from, so it'll decline almost every question. Add your Q&A pairs first so visitors get useful answers from day one.

Is there a guided, step-by-step onboarding flow?

Onboarding today is the dashboard plus the Live Demo page to try things out - not a separate multi-step guided wizard.

Can I invite teammates to help set up my account?

Multi-user team accounts aren't a documented feature today - one login per account.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No - the Free plan requires no credit card.

Can I try ConvoRail without installing anything on my own site first?

Yes - the Live Demo page runs a real, working widget you can test before touching your own site.

What's the recommended way to write my first Q&A pairs?

Start with the questions your visitors actually ask most often, phrased the way they'd ask them - not how you'd phrase it internally.

How many Q&A pairs should I start with?

There's no required minimum - the Free plan supports up to 5, so even a small starting set is enough to go live and expand from there.

Can I import existing FAQ content instead of typing pairs manually?

No documented bulk-import option today - Q&A pairs are added manually in the dashboard.

What should I check before going live on my real site?

That your Q&A pairs cover your common questions, that you've tested a few in the dashboard or Demo page, and that your API key is the one actually in your script tag.

What do I need to add ConvoRail to my website?

One script tag and an API key from your dashboard. No SDK, no backend integration, no framework requirement for the basic setup.

Do I need a developer to install it?

Not for the basic install - pasting a script tag is something most site builders and CMS platforms support without code.

Which platforms or website builders does it work on?

Any site that lets you paste a script tag - WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, or a fully custom-coded site. It's plain JavaScript, not a platform-specific plugin, so it works the same way everywhere.

Where does the chat widget appear on my site?

As a chat bubble your visitors click to open, the same pattern used on the Demo page - it stays out of the way until someone needs it.

Can I customize the widget's colors or appearance?

Not as a self-serve option today - widget theming isn't exposed in the dashboard yet.

Does the widget slow down my website?

It's built as a lightweight, framework-independent script rather than a heavy embedded app, so it stays light on your site regardless of what you built your site with.

Can I use one ConvoRail account across multiple domains?

Each account gets one API key. Using it on more than one domain isn't actively blocked, but it isn't a documented, supported multi-site feature yet - email us if this is what you need.

Does the widget work on mobile browsers?

Yes - it's a standard responsive web widget that runs wherever the script loads, including mobile browsers.

Can I regenerate my API key?

Yes, any time from the dashboard - useful if a key is ever compromised.

Do I need to keep the dashboard open for the widget to keep working?

No - once embedded, the widget runs independently on your site. The dashboard is only for managing Q&A content and viewing usage.

Is there a developer API beyond the embeddable widget?

Not published today - ConvoRail is currently used through the dashboard and the embeddable widget script.

Can I show the widget on only some pages, not my whole site?

That depends on how you place the script tag - add it sitewide via your CMS's global footer, or only to specific page templates to limit where it appears.

Does ConvoRail integrate with tools like Zendesk, Intercom, Slack, or a CRM?

No documented third-party integrations today beyond the embeddable widget itself.

Can I embed ConvoRail inside a mobile app, not just a website?

It's built and documented as a website widget today - not a mobile-app SDK.

Can I add or edit Q&A pairs after the widget is already live?

Yes, any time - changes in the dashboard reflect on the live widget without needing to reinstall anything.

Is there a free plan?

Yes - Free is a real plan, not a time-limited trial: 5 Q&A pairs and 200 messages/month, with the ConvoRail badge shown. No credit card required.

What plan tiers exist?

Free, Starter, Growth, and Scale - plus a custom Enterprise tier for businesses that need something beyond the standard limits.

What do Q&A pair and message limits actually mean?

Q&A pairs are the size of your knowledge base - how many question-and-answer entries you can have. Messages are how many chat replies your bot sends in a month.

What's included in every plan?

The same grounded chat engine, usage dashboard, one-line embed, and API key access on every tier - only Q&A pair count, monthly messages, and widget branding differ by plan.

Does pricing scale with my website's traffic, or just chatbot usage?

Plans gate on Q&A pair count and monthly messages the bot actually answers - not raw site visitors. A visitor who never opens the chat doesn't count against your plan.

Does the "Powered by ConvoRail" badge get removed on paid plans?

Only on the Scale plan. Free, Starter, and Growth all show the badge - removing it is a Scale-tier differentiator.

What's included in the Enterprise plan, and how is it priced?

A custom Q&A pair limit, custom message volume, and dedicated onboarding and support. It's priced individually - contact sales rather than self-serve signup.

Is Anok AI's usage billed separately from the rest of ConvoRail?

No separate line item - the grounded chat engine, including every answer Anok AI gives, is included in your plan's price and gated only by your monthly message limit.

How do I know which plan is right for me?

Compare your expected monthly question volume and knowledge-base size against the limits on the Pricing page - start on Free or Starter and move up as you outgrow the caps.

Can I see my current usage against my plan's limit?

Yes - your dashboard's usage view shows Q&A pairs used and messages sent against your plan's cap.

What happens when I hit my Q&A pair limit specifically?

You won't be able to add new pairs until you either remove existing ones or move to a higher tier.

Is pricing different by country?

Yes - prices are localized automatically based on your detected location, falling back to a global USD price where we don't have a specific rate.

Does the Free plan expire?

No - it's marketed as an ongoing real plan, not a time-limited trial.

Can I buy extra messages without upgrading my whole plan tier?

No documented add-on or top-up option today - moving to a higher tier is the current path for more headroom.

Are prices shown per month or per year?

Per month, as shown on the Pricing page.

Who processes payments?

Billing and subscriptions run through Razorpay.

What currency will I be charged in?

Prices are localized automatically based on your detected location. If we can't detect it, or your country doesn't have a specific rate set, you'll see the global USD price.

Are there any hidden charges or setup fees?

No. No setup fee, no surprise per-message add-on charges - what's shown on the Pricing page for your plan is what you pay. Going over your plan's limits caps usage rather than silently billing you more.

What happens if I go over my plan's message or Q&A pair limit?

Usage is capped, not silently overcharged - once you hit your plan's limit, you'll need to move to a higher tier to keep going, rather than getting an unexpected bill.

Do unused messages roll over to the next month?

No - the monthly message allowance resets each billing period rather than accumulating.

Can I cancel anytime?

Self-serve cancellation isn't wired into the dashboard yet - email convo.rail.ai@gmail.com and we'll handle it manually in the meantime.

Is there a refund policy?

Not formally published yet - ConvoRail's Terms of Service are still a pre-launch draft. Reach out directly if you have a billing concern and we'll sort it out.

Is there a long-term contract or lock-in period?

No long-term contract has been published - plans are shown and billed on a monthly basis.

Can I switch plans mid-cycle?

Self-serve upgrades and downgrades aren't live in the dashboard yet - email us and we'll move your account manually.

What happens to my data if I downgrade or cancel my plan?

Not formally documented yet - email us before downgrading or cancelling if you have questions about your account's data and we'll clarify for your specific case.

Does ConvoRail send invoices or receipts?

Not documented in detail today - ask via email if you need a specific invoice for your records.

Can I get a custom billing arrangement, like quarterly invoicing?

That's what the Enterprise plan is for - contact sales to discuss a custom arrangement.

Is GST, VAT, or other tax included in the shown price?

Not specified on the Pricing page today - tax handling depends on your region at checkout.

Is billing different on convorail.com versus convorail.in?

convorail.com serves markets outside India; convorail.in is the dedicated India-market site. Same company, billing handled per site.

Is there a discount for paying annually?

Not published today - plans are shown at their monthly rate. Ask via email if annual billing would help your situation.

What does ConvoRail actually do?

It's a Q&A knowledge base, a grounded chat engine, a one-line embeddable widget, and a usage dashboard - see exactly what ConvoRail does on the Features page.

What's the core feature that makes ConvoRail different?

Every reply is checked against your Q&A pairs before it's sent - if nothing matches closely enough, it says it doesn't know instead of improvising an answer.

What's in the usage dashboard?

Q&A pair coverage, message volume against your plan's limit, and how many questions the bot couldn't answer.

Can I see what visitors are asking that the bot couldn't answer?

Yes - unanswered-question volume is visible in the dashboard, so gaps in your knowledge base show up instead of getting silently swallowed.

Is my account's data isolated from other ConvoRail customers?

Yes - every tenant's knowledge base, conversations, and API key are scoped at the database layer. Nothing is shared or mixed across accounts.

Is there a mobile app for managing my ConvoRail account?

No - the dashboard is web-based today, no dedicated mobile app.

Does ConvoRail support rich content like images or links in chat answers?

No documented rich-media reply formatting beyond text today.

Can I organize Q&A pairs into categories or folders?

No documented organizational structure beyond a flat list of Q&A pairs today.

Does ConvoRail flag duplicate or conflicting Q&A pairs?

No documented duplicate-detection feature today.

Can I export my Q&A knowledge base?

No documented export option today.

Does ConvoRail show analytics beyond basic usage counts?

The dashboard covers Q&A coverage, message volume, and unanswered-question counts - no deeper analytics (like top-asked questions) documented beyond that today.

Is there a staging or test mode separate from my live widget?

The Live Demo page and dashboard let you test questions before going live - there's no separate formal "staging" toggle for your own widget today.

What's on ConvoRail's roadmap that isn't built yet?

Configurable tone and escalation rules, routing to a live human agent, and compliance certifications are all explicitly flagged as roadmap items, not shipped features.

Does the product change depending on which plan I'm on?

No - it's one codebase for every tier. Plans only gate Q&A pair count, monthly messages, and widget branding, not which features you get.

How do I know if a feature mentioned on this site is live or still coming?

Anywhere a feature isn't built yet, the relevant FAQ answer or page copy says so directly rather than implying it's already available.

What is Anok AI?

Anok AI is the name of the conversational agent that powers every ConvoRail chat - the "who" behind the widget when your visitors ask a question.

Is Anok AI a separate product from ConvoRail?

No - Anok AI is the agent built into ConvoRail. You don't sign up for it separately; it's what runs every time your widget answers a question.

How does Anok AI decide what to say?

Your visitor's question is matched against the Q&A pairs in your knowledge base. On a close-enough match, Anok AI answers grounded in that content - not from general internet knowledge.

Why does Anok AI sometimes say "I don't know"?

By design. If nothing in your knowledge base closely matches the question, Anok AI declines and signals a handoff instead of guessing at an answer that could be wrong.

Can Anok AI make things up?

Preventing exactly that is the core design goal - grounding restricts it to your Q&A pairs rather than open-ended generation. Like any AI system this isn't a mathematical guarantee, but it's what the product is built around.

What language model powers Anok AI?

OpenAI's models generate the grounded reply, per ConvoRail's Privacy Policy.

Does Anok AI remember earlier messages in the same conversation?

Within an active session, recent turns are taken into account for a limited window. It isn't built as a long-term, persistent memory of a visitor across separate visits.

Can Anok AI answer in languages other than English?

It answers in whatever language your Q&A pairs and the visitor's question use, since the underlying model generally understands multiple languages - though this isn't a separately tested or guaranteed multilingual feature today.

Can I set a tone or personality for Anok AI?

Not as a configurable option today - its tone is fixed to the strict-grounding behavior. Configurable tone is a real gap, not a shipped feature.

Can Anok AI take actions, like processing a refund or booking something?

No - it answers questions from your Q&A pairs. It doesn't perform transactions, bookings, or account changes.

Is Anok AI the same for every ConvoRail customer?

The engine and grounding behavior are the same for everyone. What it actually knows differs entirely, based on each business's own Q&A pairs.

How fast does Anok AI respond?

It replies in real time, at the underlying model's typical response speed. There's no published response-time guarantee or SLA today.

Can I see what Anok AI couldn't answer?

Yes - your dashboard's usage view shows unanswered-question volume, so gaps in your knowledge base stay visible instead of silently swallowed.

Does Anok AI get smarter over time on its own?

Not automatically - it only improves as you add or refine your Q&A pairs. There's no self-learning from past conversations today.

Can Anok AI hand a conversation off to a human?

It tells the visitor it doesn't know and signals that a handoff is needed. Routing that into a live-agent queue or ticketing system isn't built yet.

How do I get help if something's not working?

Email convo.rail.ai@gmail.com - that's the direct line to a real person today.

Does ConvoRail offer live chat support for its own customers?

No separate live-support widget for ConvoRail's own customers is documented today - email is the current channel.

What are ConvoRail's support hours?

Not published today - no formal support-hours commitment yet.

Is there a help center or knowledge base beyond this FAQ?

This FAQ page is the current self-serve resource - no separate help-center product exists today.

How fast can I expect a reply to a support email?

No published response-time guarantee today.

Can visitors on my site reach a live human through the widget?

Anok AI tells them it doesn't know and signals that a handoff is needed - routing that into an actual live-agent queue isn't built yet.

What if Anok AI gives a visitor a wrong or confusing answer?

Usually that means a Q&A pair needs editing on your end - update it directly in the dashboard. If it seems like an actual product bug rather than a content gap, email us.

Is phone support available?

Not documented - email is the confirmed support channel today.

Do Enterprise customers get dedicated support?

Yes - dedicated onboarding and support is part of the Enterprise plan.

How do I report a bug?

Email with a description of what happened - there's no separate public bug tracker or support portal today.

Can I request a new feature?

Yes, by email - there's no public roadmap-voting tool today.

Is there a status page for uptime or incidents?

Not documented today.

What happens if the widget goes down?

As a pre-launch product, ConvoRail doesn't publish an uptime guarantee or SLA today - see the Terms page for the full framing.

Do you help with setting up my Q&A pairs, not just fixing bugs?

Enterprise customers get dedicated onboarding help; other tiers can email for guidance while self-serve onboarding tooling is still basic.

Who do I contact for a billing issue versus a product issue?

The same address, convo.rail.ai@gmail.com, handles both today.

What is ConvoRail?

An AI chatbot for your website that answers strictly from a knowledge base you write yourself, powered by Anok AI - the conversational agent behind every chat.

Who founded ConvoRail?

Sakshi Sidana, Founder & CEO, with a background in brand and marketing strategy. See the Founder page for her story.

Where is ConvoRail based?

Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.

Who is ConvoRail built for?

Any business that gets repeat questions on its website - SaaS, e-commerce, professional services, or local businesses - and wants those answered accurately without someone monitoring a chat window all day.

Who else is on the ConvoRail team?

Mayank Sachdev (Marketing Head), Ayush Arora (Sales Head), and Kanika Sachdev (Ops Head), alongside founder Sakshi Sidana. See the About page for the full team.

What's the difference between convorail.com and convorail.in?

convorail.com serves every market outside India; convorail.in is the dedicated site for the India market. Same company, same product, split by geography.

Is ConvoRail a general-purpose AI assistant?

No, deliberately not. It only answers from the Q&A pairs you give it - a narrower job than a general assistant, on purpose, since that's what makes the grounded-answer behavior possible.

What makes ConvoRail different from other chatbot tools?

Most competing tools default to sounding confident even when they're not grounded in anything you wrote. ConvoRail's default is the opposite: no close match in your Q&A pairs means a stated refusal, not an improvised answer.

What's ConvoRail's mission?

Building a chatbot that's honest about what it doesn't know, so businesses can trust automated answers instead of policing them for mistakes.

Is ConvoRail funded by investors?

No funding information is published today.

How long has ConvoRail been around?

No specific founding date is published - the product is early-stage and pre-launch today.

How do I contact ConvoRail?

convo.rail.ai@gmail.com for product questions and support.

Is ConvoRail available to use today?

Signup and the dashboard are open now. The product is still early, and features that aren't built yet are explicitly marked as roadmap rather than shipped throughout this site.

Does ConvoRail have social media I can follow?

Yes - Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Pinterest, and Threads. Links are in the site footer.

Is ConvoRail hiring?

Open roles are listed on the Careers page when they exist. If you don't see a fit but think you'd be a great addition anyway, email us.

Can ConvoRail collect visitor details and leads?

Yes. When the bot can't answer, it can show an in-chat contact form so the visitor leaves their details, and the conversation is flagged for your team in the inbox.

Can visitors rate the answers they get?

Yes. The chat widget lets visitors rate a conversation, and the rating is shown to your team in the inbox so you can see where answers fell short.

Which channels does ConvoRail cover today?

Today ConvoRail covers website chat and Gmail in one inbox. Channels such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and Outlook are on the roadmap and are not presented as live.

Can I try ConvoRail before paying?

Yes. You can start on the free plan with no credit card, add your own Q&A pairs and see how the chatbot answers before choosing a paid plan.
