Short paragraph
Article boilerplate, partner pages, newsletter blurbs
HoverBot is an AI chatbot platform for customer support and lead capture. It grounds every answer in a company's own catalog, policies, and documentation using retrieval-augmented generation, masks personal data before it reaches the model, and hands conversations to human agents when confidence drops. HoverBot was founded in 2025, is bootstrapped, and is headquartered in Singapore.
Full boilerplate
Press releases, briefing documents, analyst notes
HoverBot is an AI chatbot management platform built for production customer conversations. Rather than scripted flows, it uses retrieval-augmented generation to ground answers in a company's live product catalog, policies, and documentation, so replies stay accurate as the underlying content changes. Personal data is masked before it reaches the model, topic boundaries and content filters keep conversations in scope, and confidence-based routing escalates to human agents with the full conversation attached. Teams deploy one knowledge base to a website widget and to WhatsApp Business from a single configuration. HoverBot was founded in 2025, is bootstrapped, and is headquartered in Singapore.
Logos
SVG is authoritative. The PNGs are 2048px wide on transparency, for places that cannot take vector.
Please do
- Use the SVG wherever the medium allows it.
- Keep clear space around the logo equal to the height of the mark.
- Place the reversed logo on dark grounds and the primary logo on pale ones.
Please don't
- Recolour, rotate, outline, or add effects to the mark.
- Stretch, crop, or rebuild the lockup, or set the wordmark in another typeface.
- Use the pink gradient wordmark: it predates the current identity and is retired.

Dashboard
The overview: active bots, conversations, messages and self-service rate against last week, with message volume charted week by week. Shown for a sample store workspace whose traffic history is simulated for illustration.
Dashboard - Dark Mode
The same overview in dark mode, with the weekly message chart. Sample store workspace, traffic history simulated for illustration.
Live Activity
Every conversation in one inbox, grouped into ongoing and completed. Open one to read the exchange, see how confident the bot was in each answer, and check the workspace totals for the day alongside it.
Live Activity - Dark Mode
The same inbox in dark mode. Every page of the dashboard is designed for both themes, and it follows the system setting until you choose one.
Look and Feel
Set the widget's design, theme and colour, and watch a live preview of the chat window update beside the settings before anything reaches your site.
Look and Feel - Dark Mode
The bot editor in dark mode, with the live widget preview alongside the theme and colour settings.
Linking Knowledge to a Bot
Choose which content libraries a bot answers from, and in what order. Each linked library shows its document count, status and last update.
Content Library
The knowledge your bots answer from, kept in libraries of pages, files, text and question and answer pairs. Each library shows its sources and when it last changed.
Safety Filters
Stop a bot answering questions you choose, such as medical or legal advice. Label a few example questions as allowed or denied, and HoverBot trains a filter from them.
Install and Allowed Domains
Publishing a bot: the integration steps, the domains it is allowed to load on, and the install code to paste into your site.
