momo

The AI support desk that
never makes things up

momo answers what it knows from your content, takes real actions like checking an order status, and hands everything else to a clean inbox your team will actually enjoy.

Why momo

Support bots make things up. momo is built around not doing that.

No resolution tax

Flat pricing, unlimited seats. Bring your own model key if you like — no per-resolution fees, no credit system.

It says "I'm not sure"

Every answer carries sources and a confidence level. Below the threshold, it hands off to a human instead of inventing a refund policy.

It does things, not just FAQs

"Where's my order?" gets answered live from your shop, not a canned response.

How it works

The same loop, every time: answer confidently or hand off honestly.

  1. 1

    Paste your site or upload your docs

    momo crawls your site, PDFs, or Q&A pairs and starts answering from your real content within about a minute.

  2. 2

    The accuracy gate checks every draft

    Before an answer ever reaches a visitor, it's checked against the sources it's supposedly drawn from.

  3. 3

    Confident answers ship, the rest become tickets

    Not confident enough? It says so, and the conversation lands in a clean inbox for a human — with a one-click Teach button that turns the reply into approved knowledge.

Every conversation

What happens when someone asks momo something

The same accuracy gate runs every time, whether the answer ships or a human takes over.

0-2s

momo drafts an answer from your sources

Pulled from your crawled site, docs, or Q&A pairs, never from general knowledge.

Gate

The accuracy gate checks it against those sources

If the draft is not backed by what it found, it does not ship.

Confident

A sourced answer reaches the visitor

With links back to the page it came from.

Not confident

It says so and hands off

The conversation becomes a ticket in the inbox instead of a guess.

Based on Chatbase's public pricing and product pages, momobot's own research (2026-09-21).

Open by default

No lock-in, no black box.

MIT licensed

Fork it, self-host it, read every line. No paid tier required to see the code.

Self-hosted or cloud

Run it on your own server with your own AI key, or use the managed cloud, same code either way.

Your data stays yours

Self-hosted, nothing leaves your infrastructure. On cloud, EU hosting and no training on your content.

Why we built this

Support bots that guess are worse than no bot at all

Most AI support tools are optimized to always answer, because a confident-sounding reply looks good in a demo. That is how you end up with a bot inventing a refund policy that does not exist.

momo is built around the opposite instinct. Every answer is checked against the sources it is supposedly drawn from before it ever reaches a visitor. If the confidence gate does not clear, momo says so and hands the conversation to a human instead of guessing.

We are building it in the open, MIT licensed, because a support desk that touches customer trust should not be a black box you have to take on faith.

Unlimited

seats, on every plan

No per-agent fee, no per-resolution credit system. Add your whole team without doing the math first.

Frequently asked questions

Is momo open source?

Yes. The core loop — the widget, answers with sources, the accuracy gate, the inbox with takeover, simple tickets and Teach — is free and self-hostable forever. The commercial cloud adds things that cost us money to run or connect to other tools, like AI keys included and JS-rendering crawling.

How is momo different from Chatbase?

Every answer carries sources and a confidence level. Below the threshold, momo says "I am not sure" and hands off to a human instead of inventing an answer. Pricing is flat with unlimited seats, not a per-resolution fee.

Do I need my own AI model key?

On the open core, yes — bring your own key for any provider supported by the Vercel AI SDK. The commercial cloud includes AI usage in the price, so no key is needed there.

What happens when the AI is not confident in an answer?

It says so in plain text — "passed to the team" — instead of guessing, and the conversation becomes a ticket in the inbox. A human replies, and one click (Teach) turns that reply into approved knowledge so the bot improves.
