About HoverBot
We're on a mission to transform how businesses connect with their customers through AI-powered conversations.
Our Story
HoverBot was created with a vision to simplify AI-powered chatbot management for businesses. As AI adoption grew, we noticed that many companies struggled to deploy intelligent, reliable chatbots that could provide accurate responses while maintaining brand consistency and compliance.
With this in mind, we built HoverBot, a flexible and powerful chatbot management platform that combines advanced AI, customizable knowledge bases, and robust guardrails to ensure safe and effective interactions.
Today HoverBot runs in production for customers under NDA. We name a customer only with their written consent, and we can arrange a reference call on request.
HoverBot is bootstrapped and AI-first. A small team sets direction, and an AI-managed harness of agents runs the day-to-day work: building, testing and shipping the product, watching production, and keeping our content and listings current. Our partner VGTech adds engineering and delivery capacity when a rollout needs more hands. HoverBot and WTFox.ai are separate companies that share a founder. You can verify HoverBot on independent listings.

Delivery Partner
We build the product. VGTech puts it into production.
HoverBot works with VGTech (vgtc.io), a Singapore-based firm working on AI adoption, agent workflows, and compliance-ready delivery for software companies. They run full-cycle HoverBot implementations for teams that want the rollout handled end to end, and they work alongside our engineers on feature development and system architecture.
Implementation
Full-cycle rollout
Scoping, knowledge ingestion, channel and escalation setup, launch, and handover, delivered on your stack rather than left as a checklist.
Operations
Deployment and run
Production deployment, environment and integration setup, monitoring, and the operational follow-through after go-live.
Engineering
Feature development
When a customer needs something the standard product does not cover yet, their engineers build it with ours through the same review and release process.
Architecture
Architecture and review
They shape system architecture and evaluation design with us, and bring governance experience from SOC 2, MAS, and PDPA engagements.
