Conversation with the AI assistant built by PeakLab for SYLA Project Conseil

SYLA Project Conseil: a conversational assistant that cuts Qualiopi file writing by three

For SYLA Project Conseil, a consultancy specialised in Qualiopi certification, PeakLab built a conversational assistant: it asks the consultant's clients the right questions, then drafts a first version of the file from their answers.

According to the published case, writing a file now takes a third of the time and the consultant runs three times more assignments in parallel. GDPR was built in from the first version.

This reference shows the principle behind any business chatbot: AI collects and prepares, the expert validates and stays responsible for the deliverable.

Our services for a chatbot project

Six areas of expertise from our agency to turn an idea into a useful, measured and maintainable conversational agent.

  1. 01

    Use case and goal scoping

    We map incoming questions, user profiles, accessible data and out-of-scope situations. The brief sets the business goals: resolution rate, handed-over requests, qualified leads. For the bigger picture, our digital strategy agency completes the study.

  2. 02

    Knowledge base and sourced answers

    We structure your reference content (FAQ, product sheets, procedures, images, PDFs) into a knowledge base with a semantic search engine and access rights by profile. The chatbot answers from these sources, cites the useful page and flags when information is missing: it must stay up to date.

  3. 03

    Conversation design and user experience

    Defining the tone, writing welcome messages, clarifying questions and quick replies: we design smooth journeys on desktop and on Android or iOS mobile, with a polished tone and no artificial answers. Every interaction respects accessibility, and users can reach a person at any time, with a personalised follow-up.

  4. 04

    Integrations with your tools

    HubSpot, Google Calendar, support tool, ERP, e-commerce catalogue or marketplace: every native connection goes through an API, with access limited to the required actions, and data stays within your tools. To orchestrate several tools, our n8n agency designs observable workflows.

  5. 05

    AI agents and voice agents

    An AI agent does more than answer: it opens a ticket, books an appointment or drafts a quote. Handled calls and messages are logged, specific cases handed over. The voice agent, with a natural synthetic voice, applies the same logic on the phone, with transfer to an advisor.

  6. 06

    Deployment, maintenance and follow-up

    Before launch, a test set covers normal, ambiguous and off-topic requests. Afterwards, we track user satisfaction, the handoff rate, uncovered questions and costs against the goals set. Every improvement goes through review, keeping a human in the loop.

Our agency's commitments

Your data protected

Hosting in France or Europe to keep your data close, access limited to the strict minimum and providers chosen for their privacy policy.

No lock-in to a single model

Your chatbot can switch from GPT to Claude, Mistral or Gemini without being rebuilt.

Self-sufficient teams

We train your teams to review conversations and update content; how the chatbot works is documented.

A planned human handoff

When the chatbot does not know, it passes the request to an advisor along with its context.

What is a chatbot agency?

A chatbot agency designs and improves conversational assistants and agents for businesses: a chatbot on your website, an AI agent for customer support, an internal assistant for your teams or a voice agent for phone reception.

An AI chatbot understands a question asked in natural language, looks for the answer in your sources (FAQ, catalogue, procedures, product sheets) and replies in seconds, 24/7, with immediate and personalised help. When a request falls outside its scope, it hands over to a person in the right department.

First-generation chatbots followed a fixed decision tree. Today's chatbots run on artificial intelligence models such as GPT, Claude, Mistral or Google's Gemini: they understand varied phrasing, keep the context of the conversation and take action in your tools.

Chatbot or AI agent? A chatbot answers. An AI agent goes further: it checks your management software, opens a ticket, books a slot or drafts a quote. Our agency builds both, depending on how much autonomy you want to give it.

Thanks to language models, building a chatbot no longer takes months of scripting. The work now lies in content quality, handoff instructions and native integration with your tools.

The most profitable use cases for an SME: first-line customer support, lead qualification on the website, appointment booking, quote preparation, product guidance in an e-commerce catalogue and an internal assistant that finds a procedure in seconds.

In e-commerce, a chatbot helps visitors find the right product, answers questions about delivery times and order tracking, reassures before purchase and highlights current offers. It also serves an online shop or marketplace sellers who get the same questions on every listing.

In marketing and sales, the conversational agent qualifies visitors with a few questions, records the lead in HubSpot or Pipedrive and offers a meeting with the sales team. The static form becomes a conversation.

For your staff, an assistant connected to your knowledge base answers their technical, business or HR questions. Information no longer sleeps in shared folders.

A voice chatbot follows the same logic on the phone: a voice agent answers frequent calls, books appointments and transfers to an advisor as soon as a case gets complex. The synthetic voice stays clear and callers know they are talking to an AI.

Conversational AI covers both text and voice. A well-designed conversational solution keeps the same tone, the same knowledge and the same history on the website, on WhatsApp and on the phone.

A chatbot can also read an image: a photo of a damaged product, a screenshot of an error, a scanned document. It identifies the request, handles it or routes it to the right team.

To choose a chatbot agency, look at three criteria: live references you can see, developers able to integrate the chatbot with your existing tools and a testing method before launch.

Off-the-shelf platform or custom solution? Intercom, Zendesk or Crisp are enough for a simple FAQ. Custom development becomes useful as soon as you need a connection to your business data, precise rules or full control over the code and hosting.

We also build chatbots into existing applications: a web app, a SaaS, a customer portal, a Bubble app or a WordPress site. Native integration respects your brand guidelines, your front-end framework and your user journeys.

The widget fits anywhere and adapts to every screen. On mobile, iPhone or Android, it opens full screen. We take care of accessibility (contrast, keyboard navigation, screen readers) so every user can interact with the agent.

A chatbot's quality depends first on its sources. Building a good chatbot means building a good base of answers: we prepare your reference documents, organise their updates and measure the rate of correct answers before and after launch.

A chatbot does not replace your organic rankings on Google. It complements your site's internal search engine: visitors ask their question instead of browsing pages. Our SEO agency works on both.

Every solution is personalised: brand image, the vocabulary of your industry, rules specific to your business. A generic chatbot sounds like everyone else; yours should answer like your best advisor.

A chatbot must be honest about its limits. Better an assistant that says "I don't know, I'm passing you to an advisor" than one that makes things up. That is the first principle of our approach.

Every interaction is logged: thanks to these logs, you see the questions asked, the answers given and the handoffs. These interactions feed improvements, always after human review.

The business impact is measurable: requests resolved without intervention, qualified leads, cost and time saved by support, satisfaction. These indicators must be defined before development, not after.

Volume matters too: above a few dozen repetitive requests a day, a chatbot quickly pays for itself. Below that, a good FAQ is often enough, and we will tell you so.

The advantage of a well-integrated chatbot: measurable efficiency without hiring. Your teams keep the high-value requests.

For a small business, a chatbot is often the first AI project. It launches quickly, is easy to measure and prepares other uses of artificial intelligence in the company.

We use proven frameworks such as LangChain, documented APIs and code your developers can take over. A professional can audit how each answer is produced.

We deploy on a European cloud or with your provider. Mistral and open source models can run on dedicated servers for sensitive data.

Privacy is handled from the design stage, with hosting in France when needed: models that do not train on your conversations, limited access rights, GDPR and AI Act compliance.

Our support covers the full cycle: request audit, conversation design, development, acceptance testing and maintenance. You keep a single point of contact, up-to-date documentation and full access to the code.

Based in Paris, our team works remotely with companies across France: small businesses, SMEs and mid-sized companies in every industry. The same pair follows your project from scoping to post-launch follow-up. Our blog articles also explain our technical choices.

Specialist agency or generalist web agency? A typical web agency installs a widget. An agency specialised in conversational AI prepares content, writes journeys, connects tools and measures results.

Agency, freelancer or platform? A freelancer suits a small scope. A platform is enough for an FAQ. An agency brings a full team (project manager, AI expert, developer, designer) and continuity after launch.

Our agency works in every industry: service companies, manufacturers, e-commerce sites, marketplaces and software publishers. Every project starts with your users: who asks the question, when, and what information they expect.

A serious agency also tells you what AI must not do: decide in place of a person on a dispute, promise a refund or answer without justification. These limits must be written down in the project specification.

For your customers, the experience changes: a personalised answer at any time, without waiting, and a person when needed. For your staff, it means fewer hours spent looking for information.

Our agency can build an AI agent from scratch or improve a first version. It also trains your teams so they can manage content and offers without depending on us.

In customer relations, the conversational agent retrieves from your tools each customer's history, orders and past requests. Customers no longer have to repeat their file number.

On your website, the chatbot appears at the right moment, on desktop and mobile: on a product page, on the contact page to reach a salesperson or before checkout. Each web page can have its own message and its own offers.

For a multi-site company or one with several business lines, the solution manages separate profiles and spaces. Each user only sees the information relevant to their role.

After launch, the support continues: monthly review of conversations, new content, new journeys. Our agency provides these services over time, with the same pair.

A good chatbot is judged by the share of requests it resolves, not by the demo.

PeakLab runs these projects alongside our generative AI agency and our web development team. Signs a chatbot would save you time:

  • The same questions every dayOpening hours, order tracking, prices, returns: your support team answers them again and again, while a chatbot can handle frequent questions.
  • Leads lost outside office hoursVisitors leave without an answer in the evening or at the weekend; a chatbot qualifies them and offers a meeting through your calendar, or a way to reach your team.
  • A saturated switchboardA voice agent handles simple calls and frees your teams for complex cases.
  • Internal information nobody can findProcedures, technical sheets, documentation: your teams waste time on search instead of serving your business.
  • A catalogue that is hard to browseOn your e-commerce site, especially on mobile, visitors cannot find the right product despite the search and give up.
  • A disappointing first chatbotThe tool you tested answers off the mark, does not know your offers or frustrates your users.

Why entrust your chatbot to an agency that also builds software?

Because a chatbot cut off from your tools quickly hits a ceiling. At PeakLab, AI experts and developers work together in Paris: our support covers the agent, the conversation, the interface and the native integration with HubSpot, your calendar or your ERP. For workflow orchestration, our n8n agency takes over.

FAQ: building an AI chatbot

Budget, data, integrations, phone and follow-up: our agency's view.

A chatbot agency designs and builds conversational assistants for your company: use case scoping, source preparation, chatbot development, native integration with your website and tools, testing, then conversation follow-up to improve the answers.

The budget depends on the number of journeys, the sources to prepare, the integrations and the level of testing required. After a first call, we separate the pilot from production in a written proposal.
