AI Chatbot Development for UK Businesses
CODEANS is a UK-facing web development company with delivery from Lahore, Pakistan. We help UK businesses with AI chatbot development, working in GBP with UK-hours overlap, GDPR-aware processes and fixed quotes from £199 before build work starts.
What an AI chatbot can do for a UK business
A modern AI chatbot reads your own content — services, prices, policies, FAQs — and answers customer questions in plain English at any hour. Unlike old menu-based bots, it understands free-typed questions and can hand over to a person when it should.
CODEANS builds chatbots for websites and WhatsApp that answer common questions, qualify enquiries, capture contact details, book calls into your calendar and send summaries to your inbox or CRM. The chat assistant on this website is one we built and run ourselves.
- Customer support: opening hours, delivery, returns, pricing questions
- Lead qualification: budget, timeline and needs captured before a sales call
- Appointment booking for clinics, salons, consultants and trades
- Internal assistants that answer staff questions from your documents
How we build it
We start by collecting what the bot should know: your website, PDFs, price lists and the questions customers ask most. We set clear rules for what it must never say, when to escalate to a human and what data it may collect. Then we connect it to the channels you use and test it against real customer questions before launch.
After launch you get a dashboard of conversations, so you can see what customers ask and improve answers over time.
- Website chat widget or WhatsApp Business
- Handover to a human by email, WhatsApp or live chat
- Integrations with calendars, CRMs and helpdesks where APIs allow
- Monthly review of conversations and answer quality
GDPR and data handling
A chatbot handles personal data, so we design for UK GDPR from day one: the bot tells users what it collects, stores only what you need, and conversation logs can be limited or deleted on a schedule. We will explain which AI provider processes the data and where, so you can update your privacy notice accurately.
How we work
Every engagement starts with a clear brief. CODEANS scopes goals, constraints and success criteria with you, then issues a fixed GBP quote before build work begins. You keep ownership of the codebase and accounts we create for the project.
Delivery is from our Lahore engineering team with UK-hours overlap for stand-ups, reviews and handovers. Lahore is UTC+5 — four hours ahead of BST and five ahead of GMT — so UK teams are not waiting overnight for routine decisions.
- Scope and fixed quote before development
- Iterative builds with review checkpoints
- Launch support and optional maintenance
- Direct WhatsApp and email communication
Technology we use
We build with stacks that appear across our live services: React for modern front-ends, WordPress and WooCommerce for content and stores, Shopify for hosted ecommerce, and custom web applications when templates are not enough. Magento is not offered.
Integrations typically include payments, CRM, email, courier and messaging tools — confirmed per project rather than invented as a blanket list.
Pricing
Starting from £199. We price in GBP and confirm a fixed quote after scoping.
About CODEANS
CODEANS is based at Office 33, Central Commercial Market, Model Town, Lahore 54000, Punjab, Pakistan. Telephone and WhatsApp: +92 328 1335369. Email: sales@codeans.com. Founded in 2023, we build for clients in Pakistan, the United Kingdom and worldwide from the same Lahore engineering team.
On UK projects we state the model plainly: UK-facing commercial conversations, delivery from Lahore, GBP fixed quotes, UK-hours overlap, and a GDPR-aware approach to personal data. We do not invent a UK office unless one is confirmed and published.
When you are ready, send a short brief — goals, timeline, platforms you already use, and any constraints. We reply with clarifying questions, then a fixed GBP quote. Projects start from £199.
FAQs
- How much does an AI chatbot cost for a UK business?
- Projects start from £199. Final cost depends on channels, how much content the bot must learn and integrations. AI usage is billed monthly by message volume, and we estimate it before you commit.
- Can the chatbot work on WhatsApp?
- Yes. We build bots for your website chat and for WhatsApp Business, and can hand conversations over to a person on either channel.
- Will the chatbot make things up?
- We limit the bot to your approved content and set rules for what it may say, so it declines questions it cannot answer and passes them to your team instead of guessing.
- Is an AI chatbot GDPR compliant?
- It can be. We tell users what is collected, store only what you need, limit retention and document which AI provider processes the data, so your privacy notice stays accurate.
- How long does it take to build a chatbot?
- A standard website FAQ and lead-capture bot is typically ready in 5–7 days. Bots with bookings, CRM or WhatsApp integrations take longer.
