YourBOT: Making good progress on my new SaaS product!

CREATED BY STEFFI LEWIS Published: 17/10/2025 @ 09:00AM #YourBOT #IntegratedChatbot #ForYourWebsite #SimpleMonthlySubscription #QuickAndEasyInstall #Chatbottery

After creating an integrated chatbot system for all of my sBlogIt! blogging clients, I realised it was so good that I had to monetise it. For the past few weeks, I've been creating YourBOT and I think it's a really good update to what was already a pretty nifty tool ...

YourBOT, a chatbot, Efficient and precise, Unwaveringly useful!

When I created what I call 'sBlogBot' for my blogging clients, its core task was to sit in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, pop up when needed, and answer questions about blog posts. You can see my own SteffiBot in the bottom left-hand corner of this blog post.

I enhanced that to offer a READ MORE link to the blog post it summarised, then extended it further to include my blogging subscribers' websites, so it would answer questions from there too.

This meant we could include web pages from anywhere!

One of my blogging subscribers, who is an accountant, asked me to include the tax rates and thresholds page from the gov.uk website to answer common tax questions, too. It was a great idea, but it got me thinking.

"This chatbot is really good. Can I make it even better? Can I make it available to anyone?" So I had a chat with my coding buddy (you may know ChatGPT), and we worked up a plan of extra features needed. Then, in my usual way, I just started coding.

One fixed feature of sBlogBot is that it uses ChatGPT 5, and with the reasoning models it uses, I find it a little slow at times, especially when OpenAI is busy in the evenings. I added ChatGPT 4.1 as a model, which uses a simple temperature slider rather than reasoning, and it sped things up a lot.

In addition, I included a data drill-down feature that extracts the important words from the chatbot user's question and then searches the database for information specific to that question.

This means that I won't be sending the entire database to OpenAI's API's which saves me a lot of money on tokens and speeds responses up dramatically. I'll definitely be building this enhancement into sBlogBot once YourBOT is finished.

Subscriptions are based on the number of requests
a bot is making per month!

The more you pay, the more requests you're allowed, regardless of the size of the database. This is a really efficient way of doing things, and I thank ChatGPT for suggesting it when we talked through my worries about costs. Request limits can be increased or decreased at the click of a button, which changes the value of the user's subscription for that bot.

What other features are built in?

YourBOT will index an entire website for you.I was in a Zoom networking meeting and an attendee I know well said, "What a great idea it would be if I could index an entire web manual and let the chatbot answer questions on it".She finds digging around manufacturers' support pages to be a pain in the bum, so having a chatbot do it for her would be amazing. YourBOT can index 5 levels deep into webpages, which should be more than enough for most people.

We can also include a single RSS feed that will be refreshed (with new pages included) every night if the subscriber wants, and FAQ pages that can be added whenever the subscriber likes. And chats can be emailed at the end of the day, too.

One thing I haven't added yet (and I may not include it in the initial release) is text/doc/pdf ingest, as I'm not sure if I'll need it. With the web being so ubiquitous, I think only the biggest companies would need file ingesting right now, but that thinking could change before I release YourBOT onto an unsuspecting world.

I'm getting there, but there's still a long way to go!

I think YourBOT is an amazing SaaS product, and when I talk to people about it, they agree. I'll be able to demo it soon, so people can see what I'm raving about.

The fact that you can sign up for free and subscribe 'per chatbot' means it is suitable for everyone, from business owners to web designers. From one bot to 1,000 - with a simple subscription for each? What's not to like about that?

YourBOT is scheduled for release on the 1st of January 2026, but I may release it early depending on my schedule and how quickly things move.

I'll talk more about YourBOT in future blog posts, sowatch this space.

Love, light & logic ...

About Steffi Lewis ...
Based in the charming village of Hanslope in Buckinghamshire, UK, I bring over 30 years of experience in web development. From creating my first website for the Open University in 1993, through being part of the dot com boom, to my explorations in SaaS and AI over the last few years, my journey has been a rich tapestry of web projects, big and small, both funded and bootstrapped. Originally developed during the pandemic, at the start of 2025, I released the next iteration of YourPCM, version 2, which is all about 'Easy Contact Management for Small Business Owners'. Is it a CRM? Yes, but I don't call it that because people glaze over at the mention of such things. CRMs are boring, difficult to get to grips with, and it's a nightmare to get help when you need it.  YourPCM is none of those things! It's simple to use, well-supported, feature rich and beautiful, right out of the box. It's available on a simple monthly subscription with no long-term tie-in. Book a demo or grab your own 14-working-day free trial and discover why YourPCM is all about easy contact management for small business owners.  My head is in the cloud, my heart belongs to the web, and my soul is filled with such beautiful code 💗
