BYOKChat lets you launch AI support chatbots on your websites. Connect your own AI key, train on your content, and embed the widget.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Grok, and DeepSeek. You bring the key, and your provider bills usage directly.
BYOKChat has a free tier and paid plans. The free tier does not require a card, paid plans include a 7-day trial, and your AI provider bills usage directly.
Conversation logs, leads, and chatbot settings are stored on our servers. Your AI provider API keys are encrypted and never exposed in API responses.
The bot answers from the pages and documents you add in BYOKChat: help docs, product pages, billing docs, onboarding content, and more.
BYOKChat gives you a script tag to paste into your website. Once it is added, the support bot widget appears and answers using the content you trained it on.
No. If you can sign in, paste an API key, and copy-paste a script tag, you can set this up.
From The Creator
AI chatbots are useful.
The software bill should not be the problem.
Bring your own AI key. Keep your own AI bill.
I was part of building Truepush, which scaled to 100 billion push notifications a month. One lesson from that experience stayed with me: once communication software gets too expensive, customers feel it immediately.
I started seeing the same pattern again with AI chatbots. The product makes sense. The software pricing often does not. BYOKChat is my answer to that: if you can copy-paste your own AI key in under two minutes, you should be able to run support bots on your websites without adding another bloated software bill on top.
This is built for the kind of users who prefer control over ceremony: indie hackers, developers, product teams, tech-inclined marketers, and agencies shipping fast for client sites. You keep AI billing with your provider. BYOKChat handles the support-bot layer.
