What it does
🎉 Launch day only: $200 off any lifetime deal with code PHLAUNCH ($399 → $199, $799 → $599). Ends Oct 2, 12 AM PT. Most help centers give you a subdomain, a keyword search, and a monthly bill. chat.sh is different: 🔍 AI search that writes the answer and cites the pages it used 📁 Lives in a folder on your own site (yoursite.com/help) 🤖 Every page as markdown for ChatGPT, Claude, and llms.txt 💸 Pay once, no subscription Try it at chat.sh/help. Chat messenger and a support inbox are next.
Search reads the question and answers it, with the pages it used. Served on your own domain, or in a folder on the site you already run.
I was a longtime Intercom customer until its help center search broke . The fix didn’t come fast enough, so I built my own. This is it. Search reads the question and answers it, with the pages it used. On your domain, or in a folder on your site. Free for 50 pages and 100 AI answers a month, no card. Your own domain is $399 once — never a subscription. Articles, links, and files go in once. The help center, the messenger, and the markdown you hand to an assistant all come from that same knowledge base. A public site that answers, instead of handing back a list of titles. The same answers in a widget on your app, so a customer who is stuck never has to leave the page they are stuck on. Yes —…from chat.sh

Hi HN, I’m the founder of a SaaS platform called CommandBar (YC S20). We’ve been mucking around with AI-related side quests for a while, but recently got excited enough about one to test it with some customers. Results were surprisingly good so we decided to launch it. HelpHub is AI chat + semantic search for any website or web app. You can add source content in 3 ways: -Crawling any public site via a URL (e.g. your marketing site or blog) -Syncing with a CMS (like Zendesk or Intercom) -Add content manually The chatbot is then “trained” on that content and will answer question’s based on…
