These are estimates from the values you entered, not a measurement of your business. Use your own ticket data where you have it.
Turn your website into an AI representative.
RubyRep learns your whole website and answers your customers on it, 24/7.
Estimates the support cost an AI chatbot would remove, based on your ticket volume, handling time and loaded hourly cost — plus payback period against a monthly subscription.
How it works
- 1
Enter your conversation volume, handling time and loaded hourly cost.
- 2
Set the share of questions a chatbot could realistically answer — conservative is better.
- 3
You get monthly hours saved, cost saved, net saving and payback period.
Questions about this tool
- What deflection rate should I use?
- Start conservative. The honest number depends on how much of your support is repetitive questions your website already answers — for many businesses that's 30–60%, but it's worth checking your own tickets rather than trusting a default.
- Does it account for setup time?
- The payback figure is subscription-only. If setup takes you a day, add that to the payback period yourself.

Focuses on time rather than payback: how many support hours a month AI would hand back, and what that time is worth.
use case
Qualify enquiries before they reach your team
The fastest qualification is honest information, early. When a visitor can find out your minimum project size or which regions you serve without booking a call, the calls you do take are with people who fit.

AI customer support for home services
A trades enquiry is worth a great deal and expires quickly — someone with a leak calls three numbers and books whoever picks up. You cannot pick up while under a sink. RubyRep answers the qualifying questions on your website so the enquiries that reach you are the ones you can actually serve.
industry
AI customer support for gyms and studios
Fitness is one of the few industries where the thing standing between an interested visitor and a signup is almost always a contract question. People have been burned by gym memberships, and they will not join until they know exactly how they can leave. RubyRep answers that from your own membership terms.
industry
AI customer support for charities and nonprofits
Charities field questions from three different audiences — donors, volunteers and the people they exist to help — usually with no support team at all. All three sets of answers are somewhere on the website, and RubyRep answers from them at any hour, which matters most for the audience least able to wait.
industry
AI customer support for veterinary clinics
Veterinary questions arrive at the worst possible time — a pet owner noticing something wrong at 11pm, deciding in real time whether it can wait until morning. Most of what they need first is already on your website: whether you're open, what a visit costs, whether you treat their animal. RubyRep answers that instantly, and is built to hand off rather than guess the moment anything sounds urgent.
