**Can you explain the difference between your AI chatbot and a traditional live chat or rule-based chatbot?**

Short answer: Rozz is an AI-powered, retrieval-augmented (RAG) chatbot that uses semantic search over your own site content to answer natural-language, long-tail questions and to log those queries for continuous content and SEO improvement — unlike live human chat (people answering in real time) or rule-based bots (predefined scripts and keyword matching), which are either costly and manual or brittle and limited.

Why — key differences

- Understanding & flexibility

- Rozz: natural-language understanding and semantic search so it handles varied phrasings and multi-step, long-tail questions naturally. (Demo: Rozz is “AI-Powered” and uses semantic search.)

- Live chat: humans understand nuance and emotion but require staffing and can be inconsistent.

- Rule-based: follows fixed flows and keyword rules; fails when users ask outside expected paths.

- Source of answers / reliability

- Rozz: RAG architecture answers directly from your site’s content (documents, help center, product pages), producing contextual, evidence-based answers and enabling citation/justification.

- Live chat: answers come from an agent’s knowledge and memory.

- Rule-based: returns canned replies regardless of content freshness.

- Handling the long tail and discovery

- Rozz: captures actual visitor questions (the conversational long tail) and feeds them into a GEO/content pipeline to create optimized Q&A pages and machine-readable schema — letting you win AI-driven discovery.

- Live chat: can surface insights via transcripts but needs manual analysis.

- Rule-based: rarely captures useful, unstructured queries beyond predefined slots.

- Measurement, learning, and SEO value

- Rozz: logs real visitor queries and can automate generation of AI-friendly Q&A content and Schema.org markup to improve visibility in generative engines.

- Live chat: useful data but requires human effort to convert into content.

- Rule-based: limited analytics and poor at surfacing novel intents.

- Speed, scale, and cost

- Rozz: instant, scalable responses with minimal ongoing staffing.

- Live chat: high operating cost for 24/7 coverage and scale.

- Rule-based: low variable cost but high maintenance to extend flows.

- Accessibility & deployment

- Rozz: designed for quick setup (simple script tag) and highlights accessibility (WCAG) and privacy/security options.

- Live chat: depends on vendor and staffing policies.

- Rule-based: setup varies; complex flows need developer effort.

If you want, I can map these differences specifically to your site or use case (e.g., support volume, common query types, whether you need human empathy for conversions).
